Both would be replaced with diamond-style ramps, which would require two new signals on De la Cruz. The work on the north side will be under way next year. In addition, a new so-called stem road will be built along the northbound side of 101. It will begin south of Highway 87 and run to De la Cruz, allowing 101 traffic to reach the interchange. This should ease the weaving that currently occurs here.
Help is needed.
The CHP recently busted more than 40 drivers for illegally using the shoulder, tickets well deserved. I understand why they had to plow the summit of Highway 17 because of the heavy snowfall last week. Trouble is all of the reflectors and Botts dots were scraped off. So now, for several miles either side of the summit, we have lost this invaluable safety aid. Please say they will be replaced soon.
