Back to the comments from BillZ, Darth and a few others. We have an Engineer on the City Council! The engineer is a social liberal and financial conservative. The engineer is also the one who vehemently supported naming the bridge after Johnny Cash and is the same engineer who found a way to contact the Cash family to get their approval. That same engineer would be happy to explain why there really will be signigicantly less traffic on Natoma and Riley Streets once the new brige opens, if you contact her - oops, did I just reveal the identity of the Council Person/Engineer?????
On behalf of all engineers, thank you for the kind words!

Mylo, may I assume you are joking? Did I not say in my post "if you contact her"? I am pretty sure there was only one engineer sitting on the dais during the council meeting on Tuesday and she was sitting in the same chair with the only female council member - OK, so she also has the deepest voice - but I am still the only girl!
Miklos is mortgage broker, Ernie is retired military, Jeff is an attorney and Andy is a hydrologist/meteorologist for the Feds.

I don't want a yuppie puppy, mamby pamby, babyified, homogenized, stragitized, sissyfied, politicized crossing.
I want a big freaking audacious, bold, dauntless, dignified, gallant, he-man of a bridge and I want it to be named the Johnny Cash Memorial Bridge. I want a replica of his hat bronzed and mounted at each side of the bridge... and a big sign sayin
Right now they will put up a sign with the saying "
Folsom Lake Crossing, named by the council for the council and to the council.
And the only thing bronzed on each side of the bridge will be fist with it's middle finger sticking up and a plaque with this message... "to the people"....
submit that to your bridge naming contest

Woohoo, we have a Libertarian on the council. Kerri, you have just made my day. You may not be registered as a Libertarian, and you may not believe in the entire Libertarian platform, but the bold above is fundamentally how most Libertarians would describe themselves, Socially Liberal and Fiscally Conservative.
So which Engineering field are you in? Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, or other?
I would rather be Backpacking

Hey Mylo,
I got your pm, but could not see the screen to respond to you.
On the subject of the traffic - when the Dam Road was closed, the traffic count was 18,000 vehicles per day. The assumption is that the majority of that traffic then moved to Natoma Street, with some using Folsom Lake Crossing and others using Riley and Rainbow. The numbers are likely up from the time the Dam Road closed. I am assuming that people who live past City Hall, heading toward EDH (Willow Creek, Briggs Ranch, Empire Ranch and beyond) will use the Johnny Cash bridge, to go north of the river, along with the EDH'ers, meaning that those 18,000 people will go across the Johnny Cash bridge instead of Natoma Street. At least I know I will!
If you want to converse directly, please email me at the address shown on the City's website.
Thanks!

Sounds like you're involved with rusty bridges. Or dam gates that won't close? :-)

Actually, I have done work on "rusty bridges" and dam gates (not the ones at Folsom). One of my specialties is corrosion control for reinforced concrete.

Kerry, just wondering here.
Do you know what time the construction workers are supposed to stop making noise in the evening, and what until what time in the AM?
Wondering---10-11 pm every night is getting old.
6-7 AM on Weekends is getting old.
