Plus: What does a diagonal green arrow light mean?
Q: You reported in your column many months ago that San Tomas Expressway is on a repair schedule, but only for the portion north of El Camino. San Tomas needs paving all the way south to Campbell Avenue!!!
I recently crossed lanes on southbound San Tomas on my bike so I could turn left onto Payne Avenue, and I hit a deep, long pothole. It blew my tire! It cost $400 to repair because the rim was also damaged.Also, why hasn’t Caltrans figured out yet that pavement always starts to fail within a year or so at the joint where roads two or more lanes wide are paved with multiple parallel lanes? Clearly, the technique they use is inadequate.
Finally, it blows my mind how cities and counties encourage construction with the goal of more income from fees and taxes, yet neglect allocating funds for building and maintaining infrastructure to support the resulting increase in traffic.A: Santa Clara County officials say that funds were budgeted for paving San Tomas Expressway from Highway 101 to El Camino Real based on its relative pavement condition and high traffic volume .
