Caltrans four-way stop at Highway 49 and Shaw's Flat
Summary
Supervisors Griefer and Brandon voiced strong concerns that Caltrans is installing a four-way stop at Highway 49/Shaw's Flat without local input, using a fast-tracked safety process. Supervisors worry about rear-end collisions on the dark, straight stretch and want alternatives like a signal or roundabout explored.
