Ray Lawyer Interchange

EDITOR:

El Dorado County Board of Supervisors,

I am on your Website to voice my opposition to yet another useless expenditure, that being a superfluous overpass at Ray Lawyer Drive.

I couldn’t ascertain from your district map, which has no landmarks or for that matter numbers showing which color is which district, to which supervisor I should address my concerns.

I have never been anywhere where there were so many overpasses in such a short distance that did absolutely nothing to alleviate congestion and/or air pollution. What you could do for the residents of this county, and for that matter the entire state, is remove those irritating stop lights on Highway 50. If you must continue to spend our hard-earned tax dollars, put an overpass in at Spring Street for Hwy 49 and let the traffic flow unencumbered along Highway 50.

Another frustrated tax payer,

ELLEN SILVEY
Pollock Pines
