Gravel Trucks: High Impact on Highway 33

I received a PowerPoint presentation by an anonymous author on the impact of the gravel trucks on Highway 33.

Download: Truck Traffic: Impact on Highway 33 (.PPT, 10.3 MB).

Gravel Trucks: High Impact on Highway 33
Highway 33 is a recreational highway where people can go to hike, bike, fish, hunt, play in the snow, backpack, or just enjoy a family drive to take in the beauty of the Los Padres National Forest

This highway has always been an important part of Ojai and the surrounding area. Is this the way we want to keep it, or do we turn it over to the trucking industry? Take a drive up the mountain some time, and see how this heavy truck traffic is destroying the highway. And rest assured that the fuel tax paid by these trucks is not being designated to highway 33 for its maintenance and repair costs.

If the decision is made in favor of the trucks, what are we getting in exchange for what we’re giving up?

Visit the Stop The Trucks resource page. Click through for more photos from the presentation.

Hello, Supervisor Steve Bennett’s assistant here with some good news: Steve is happy to announce that Doug Failing, Caltrans District Director, has confirmed that, pursuant to Supervisor Bennett’s request, Caltrans will perform a truck operation study of the mountainous sections of Highway 33 to determine whether restrictions should be placed on the operation of large trucks. This study will include a geometrics study of critical sections of the highway. Caltrans estimates that this study will take two months to complete.
