CalTrans not present; resident relays Highway 162 update and timing constraints

Feb 4, 2026

CalTrans did not attend the meeting; resident Pat Sobrero relayed CalTrans' plan for Highway 162, saying striping was completed and final paving and shoulder work will occur in spring when temperatures stay at or above about 50° for a month.

The full story

CalTrans did not send a representative despite being invited to update the council on Highway 162 projects. Pat Sobrero relayed information from CalTrans staff: Steve Tisell reported that center striping was "just completed" and that CalTrans plans a final layer of asphalt, shoulder backing and thermo‑plastic edging in spring when they can rely on a month of 50° days. Sobrero prefaced the relay by saying he had not personally verified the striping.
