23\118 freeway Gap
Closure project.
Reconstruction of
the 101 freeway will
have incredible
impact upon local
surface streets.
Over a year ago
Moorpark officials
became a"v1ure that
impact upon
Moorpark and Simi

considered.
Neither city
reci.eve<l copies of the
draft document which
is supposed to address
such impacts.
Caltrans responds
that only the area
adjacent to the 101
freeway would be
impacted.
A single page
"Traffic Manage1nen t
Plan .. has been
prepared: but it fails
to consider
reasonable regional
traffic patterns.
Motorists tend to
. shun official detours,
when those detours
fail to function.
It will be normal to
avoid construction
areas whenever
possible and drivers
wiii adopt new and
lasting travel routes.
The outrageous
proposal to ban trucks
on the 101 freeway in
the City of Los
Angeles, can only
compound the
problem.
A more rational
timetable would
provide the 23/118
gap closure ( the vital
missing link) prior to
interrupting traffic
on the busiest stretch
of freeway in the
world.
Until the project is
completed, the City of
Moorpark will monitor
and report on project
. related issues as a public
service.
ST A TUS is compiled by
a sub committee of the
Moorpark City Council. It
is our goal to share the
latest information an<l
encourage public input.
PROMOTIONS
Due to retirement of both
Leo Trombatore and Heinz
Heckeroth, Robert Best has
been named Cal Trans Directo1
and our former District 7
Director, Donald L. Watson is
the new Deputy Director.
Mr. Watson's experience
with our traffic situation will
be invaluable in Sacramento.
