Trip To Green
 Reminder...this Labor Day weekend is the second installment of TRIP TO GREEN where the lights on Highway 50 in Placerville will be green from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. This will enable both eastbound and westbound traffic to flow freely so that, hopefully, gridlock does not impact our side streets, neighborhoods and business districts.
To ensure safe travel, northbound and southbound movements across US 50 at Canal Street, Spring Street (SR/Highway49), and Bedford Avenue will be closed to public traffic, allowing emergency vehicle access only. Right-in and right-out access will remain available at Spring Street, Center Street, and Bedford Avenue. Detours will be available and information is provided above for local traffic wishing to travel outside of US 50.
There will be one more test on October 1 and 2 during the height of Harvest Season to see if this is a workable solution to the annual congestion that stifles the residents of the City of Placerville. Thank you for your patience during this pilot project, and I know we all will be looking forward to seeing what the findings will be. Stay tuned.
