Anyone who has cruised Hwy. 33 can clearly see that the intent and design of Hwy. 33 was for cars and trucks of a different Era. There is no reconciling the traversing of Hwy. 33 by these massive double trailer trucks. Make the Quarry operation use only single bed dump trucks. It might be costlier, but then, safety would improve and how much is that worth.<BR/><BR/>These quarry operations are planned for years to come. It's time to modify the their operation. For too long, the people of Ventura, Santa Barbara and Kern Counties have had to accept trade offs at their expense only. It's time for Quarry operators to accept some trade offs at their expense. Single bed dump trucks.<BR/><BR/>Dana WilsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039563145970308239.post-69025132510531613572007-05-23T20:10:00.000-07:002007-05-23T20:10:00.000-07:00PL: The activist is not the man who says the river...PL: The activist is not the man who says the river is dirty.

Lots of qualifying statements made by city manager and city attorney at council meeting concerning statutes, latitude of county jurisdictions, and 30 day response limits. Didn't CALTRANS find Hwy 33 unfit for multiple truck traffic? I observed city attorney and Supervisor Bennet conferring after- gives pause to think, because of huge money involved in mining often wins out over citizen dissent. Hate to sound like the sky is falling, but concerning government descions this often is the case.
