Hats Off

Motorists grateful for a cleaner California

The following email was sent to Caltrans on Jan. 28 by Tom and Brenda Sweeney of Coulterville.

“I would like to compliment your organization for the statewide efforts to improve the appearance and quality of our transportation system.  It is clearly evident as we travel the state in the Central Valley, north to the Oregon border and east to Nevada.  The increased frequency of litter removal has made a big difference in our roadways.

“The construction projects are bearing fruit as well.  Improvements to the (State Route) 99 corridor have helped to reduce traffic delays.  The improvements to rest stops have made those breaks more inviting.  You all have a difficult and important job and I suspect complaints far outnumber compliments.  Keep up the good work.

“Thank you and all of your team.”
