A turnout on a frontage road in Fremont once described as a haven for truckers and people living in RVs is now a “minefield” of boulders that may have contributed to a fatal crash earlier this month.
Tractor trailers, cars and recreational vehicles are parked along Kato Road in Fremont, Calif., on Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2020. In 2020, the city of Fremont installed boulders along Kato Road to stop vehicles from parking on the roadside. A motorist died after hitting the boulders on May 12, 2023. The city argues that it is unsafe to have people living in a turnout between a highway and a frontage road.
Beyond the safety concerns, Abreu said the boulders ultimately just pushed people down the road. There are still numerous commercial trucks taking up parking spaces, sticking into bike lanes and adding to the congestion of the I-880 frontage roads. People are still living in RVs on other nearby frontage roads, including Albrae Street just a few miles north.
