Residents press board on heavy trucks, speeding and road trash; staff says Caltrans coordination needed
Summary
Residents urged speed humps and cameras to curb speeding and said truck parking generates trash; staff said heavy truck traffic has damaged bridges and urged coordination with Caltrans and inspectors.
A resident (S1) pressed the board for traffic‑calming measures and cleanup after describing transient truck parking and roadside trash near Highway 11 and Highway 80: "We live here for a reason. We don't like all the cars and trucks," the resident said, urging community cooperation and better maintenance.
Staff member (S3) acknowledged heavy truck traffic has worn down local bridges and said the district will coordinate with Caltrans and inspectors. S3 said the district can evaluate speed‑hump warrants (particularly near schools) and consider targeted measures but cautioned that changes could shift traffic patterns and require study.
