I already reported the "washboard" sensation which was fixed (thank you).<br /><br />However, when I am heading towards Vallejo on 80 W and using that torturous ramp to blend with 80 from Green Valley Rd, I HAVE to take it slow. Ideally, upon using exit ramps, one should accelerate BEFORE hitting the freeway in order to MATCH the speed of the traffic. BUT, this narrow as well as in great disrepair area, doesn't allow for that. I am wondering what WE can do to convince the construction team this is a DEFINITE hazard. Others have concluded as well as admitted, that IMPATIENT drivers get visibly angry with us for having to slow down....everything from tailgating to one finger salute to honking. This has now caused us to feel we need to circumvent this by taking REDTOP road to join with 80, but does no good for those of us who need to use 12 to go to Napa. <br /><br />In conclusion: please fix potholes at base of over-crossing on Green Valley Rd. just BEFORE the intersection of Business Center Dr. and do SOMETHING to smooth out the tortuous as well as dangerous NARROW on ramp onto 80 E.<br /><br />Thank you, and I can be reached at chriskgude66@gmail.com as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529479215041884113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112667496301054469.post-82618115042688628842015-12-23T14:19:20.654-08:002015-12-23T14:19:20.654-08:00Thanx for second'ing' my concerns. And yes...Thanx for second'ing' my concerns. And yes...the potholes are ever-growing and what with the rain will be worse. I have been rear-ended twice so have a bit of PTSD going on and when jerks behind me just as I'm slowing for the area I mentioned get mad at me, I often wonder if I'm gonna get hit again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529479215041884113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112667496301054469.post-17712314946948381362015-12-23T14:02:25.421-08:002015-12-23T14:02:25.421-08:00I second the need to fill the potholes that develo...I second the need to fill the potholes that developed shortly after filling the patch in the first place. It is necessary to slow down and risk getting rear ended. Mrs. Gude's previous message does a great job of explaining where it is. I would like to ADD that the on-ramp to highway 80 east/680 south has 2 major potholes just past the Green Valley Road intersection that needs to be filled, please.

In o...I live off of Green Valley Road near Mangels. In order to get there e.g. if coming in via EB 80 (Lopes/Green Valley Rd) wherein I turn left taking me up and over the 80 'over crossing' on Green Valley Rd, and just BEFORE Business Center Drive, there is a treacherous patch of very rough roadway. I MUST always slow down before "hitting" it as it will most certainly damage my under belly and/or shocks/suspension. People behind me get angry that I'm slowing down. I live in fear I'm going to get rear-ended here. To further explain its EXACT location is just where those moveable white barriers on the right end as we are now given 4 lanes instead of that "skinny" one lane just before Business Ctr Drive where one can choose either the 2 left turn pockets OR 2 straight ahead lanes. Now that it's raining, it has become even worse as erosion has now started. I realize you are working on this interchange, and it may sound counter productive for you to smooth this out, but I have asked others and they agree with me. This is the ONLY way in for me unless I'm fraught with having to go to the next exit which I feel is a definite inconvenience and time waster. I am all for reducing the cost of this project as I know it ultimately impacts us, the tax payer, but this is really a very small area, but it's become quite treacherous. Would you please consider putting a bit of asphalt on this area to smooth it out? It looks to be not more than 4 feet long and the width of a car. It's like going over a "wash board" along with many pot holes to add to the dilemma. Thank you....Christina Gude Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529479215041884113noreply@blogger.com
