SUPERVISOR. SECOND 
SAN DIEGO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

June 29, 2017

Laurie Berman, Director
Caltrans, District 11
4050 Taylor Street

San Diego, CA 92110

Dear

In light of worsening traf?c conditions on State Route 94, I again urge Caltrans to
address the lack of the promised $20 million in road improvements on this highway
since the opening of the casino in amul last year.

More than ever, recent traf?c statistics underscore the need for swift action. During
the casino?s first months of operation, from October 2016 to May 31, 2017, the
California Highway Patrol reported 99 collisions, 13 DUI-related collisions, and 10
DUI arrests on the stretch of SR-94 impacted by the casino. The collision numbers
appear to be on a record pace for the year. The serving of alcohol at the casino has
further added to the driving dangers.

Improvements to SR-94 are the sole responsibility of Caltrans. As of the writing of
this letter, the only improvement in place is the traf?c signal in front of the casino
and some frontage improvements. Other safety improvements, including road
widening and additional signals, required as part of a Caltrans environmental impact
report are incomplete or have not even been started.

Caltrans is shirking its responsibility to the public and must take whatever actions
necessary to expedite these improvements. In the meantime, casino access to 
should be restricted until all the safety measures are in place.

I will continue to hold the leadership at Caltrans and other state of?cials
accountable for any injury or loss of life due to the life threatening situation
occurring on SR 94 due to your irresponsible actions.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss further, please feel free to give
me a call at (619) 531?5522.
