Carefree Highway

let me slip away, slip away on you




now it 's true some gov't agencies need to be monitored due to ineptitude and one of them is CALTRANS.....I live close to some beautiful rural roads so CALTRANS is always on my mind, unfortunately....ok they need to pave and maintain roads, but sometime they screw things up so bad, I can't believe what a waste the taxpayers have to shoulder....many roadside highway projects have happened in Carp..from Padaro to Santa Claus Lane, Caltrans landscaped everything and provided an elaborate irrigation system..none of this work was necessary but they wanted to put in some "native" trees....and now we're in a drought..those trees by Padaro were planted about four years ago and on the mountain side of the freeway.... they haven't grown much and some are dead....and some are just skinny twigs..





Caltrans does not a have a green thumb



ok so recently Caltrans monkeyed with Highway 192 and the Arroyo Parida Creek Bridge
it's a cool old stone bridge that some trucker damaged- it needs a small fix but CALTRANS turned it into a one laner and put in STOP signs, signal flashers and butchered some beautiful old oak trees by the creek and thrashed some roadside plants....what a mess they made!




Jim Shivers is the district manager and I don't know why he wants to destroy the neighborhood..he's an idiot possibly with steel plates in his head..he should be fired..they could have fixed the bridge years ago but they want to rip out more trees and build a huge spanning bridge..again, completely unnecessary and I've never seen an accident up here..

first Peoples Self Help Housing and now CALTRANS.....cutting down trees, laying more asphalt, messing up bridges and building houses for poor people...

and I'm payin' for all of it!!!
