Largely due to the persistent efforts of Raymond Brown, a much needed traffic light has been erected at the intersection of Mountain View and Highway 126.

Brown got the ball rolling with his contacts with CalTrans and city council more than two years ago. He was worried about the fast traffic and the pedestrians that walk along the highway to and from El Dorado Estates. Once arrangements were made CalTrans has moved very quickly to complete the job, adding overhead lighting as well. This light will slow down westbound traffic making it much safer for everyone. Merry Christmas to Mr. Brown and CalTrans as well.
