Letter: Asking for Transparency

Letter to the Editor

Pertaining to the closure of PCH between Las Posas and Yerba Buena roads: now Caltrans wants another month to complete the work that a private company could have completed in far less time. It seems you go to work for the state and, right away, the urgency to keep our state highways flowing (as you may or may not know, that is Caltrans’ job) seems to be less important.

I understand that highway safety is a concern and I’m sure the Caltrans spokesperson, Mr. Chandler, has his opinion as to what and how long it should take to complete the above work, however, I personally would like to see just what is being done pertaining to man hours and equipment usage. As taxpayers, we deserve nothing less. My question is who is watching what is being done on PCH, other than Caltrans personnel? No one I know has been allowed to observe what is being done, as there are barricades on the road both north and south, blocking access to the area.

How about some transparency, Caltrans?
