MINOR IMPROVEMENTS Over the years Highway
94 Club has worked with Caltrans to make improvements on the highway for
the safety of the traveling public. I
found letters from Highway 94 Road Committee dated 1990 to CalTrans
suggesting changes which included turnout lanes, minor curve widening,
guardrails, better highway patrol. Following
are some of the results of these requests: 1. Guardrails
all along Highway 94 at the dangerous curves.
Most recently new guard rails have been installed between 188 and
Dulzura Junction. 2. Turn
pockets or turnout lanes at Barrett Junction, Dulzura Community Center,
Marron Valley Rd., Otay Lakes Road, Honey Springs Road, Jamul Estates,
Lyons Valley Road, Steele Canyon and many more in the Jamul area. 3. Burms
and road banking wherever necessary. 4. New bridge installed near Dulzura Café to
replace dip, and dips repaired through Daley Ranch. 5. Frequent
resurfacing of the highway and road remarked.
Reflectors installed and double yellow lines replaced, some broken
lines and white fog lines. 6. Better
California Highway Patrol surveillance and truck safety checks. 7. Telephone
call boxes installed. 8. Better
signs such as marking of the intersection of Community Bldg. Road and
Highway 94. 9. Dip
improvement prior to Border Patrol Station. Highway 94 Club is still requesting the following: 1. Five
PASSING LANES AS PROPOSED BY CALTRANS. 2. For
years they have been requesting road signs in Spanish as well as English.
3. Severe
curves straightened for safety that do not meet requirements.
A. Curve at 29 post mile
marker near Freezer Road in Dulzura
B. Cattle guard and
Gasoline Curve in Dulzura
C. Grapevine Curve,
just prior to Highway 188 to Tecate
D. Two or three more
curves between Cameron Corners and Boulevard
