Great news was just released by the California Transporation Commission giving us, South County residents a reason to SMILE!!! This past Tuesday June 28th, SANDAG (San Diego Association of Governments) awarded $100million to the construction of 2 carpools on interstate 805 from East Palomar all the way to State Route 15! As we can only imagine- this a great thing!!!
The $100 million will be applied to the construction of "high occupancy vehicle" (HOV) lanes, one in each direction on the South County section of the freeway.
The first phase of the project -- between SR 54 and SR 15 -- is expected to be awarded to contractors in March 2012. The second phase, between East Palomar Street and SR 54 -- is scheduled to go to contractors a month later, according to a SANDAG spokesman.
The other great benefit will be extended to the following commuters: express buses and FasTrak account holders.
We are really excited about this at the South County Buzz! Keepin' ya informed....
