By Mark Mitchell, Citrus Heights–
I realize that the City/County are trying to get in as much road construction as possible before the rains come. Here’s my issue regarding this… Greenback Lane is being impacted by the center divider being replaced around Almond and Hickory, so there’s a bottle neck of traffic either going East or West.
To try to avoid that mess during the daytime, you’d think Madison would be a better choice if you needed to get out to, or come back from Folsom into Citrus Heights. You’ve got to be kidding me, road construction on Madison too? Yep, just West of Hazel another bottleneck down to one lane. Come on, really, both Greenback and Madison have road construction during the day? Maybe I’m the one that didn’t see that one coming, my bad!
Oh yeah, one more thing since I have your attention. I’m stopped at the light at Greenback and Sunrise, heading East towards Folsom, why does the very next stoplight turn red? (Arcadia I believe is the one, with Red Robin on the corner.) I thought these lights had some type of timing to let traffic flow. They must have forgot to program this one. Okay, I feel much better now… Now, fix it for us please, City/County, whoever is in charge of timing the lights.
