That includes new turn lanes, retaining walls and signals at critical highway intersections, including next to a fire station. State officials are failing to do their most important job - protecting the public.Ĭaltrans is allowing the casino to open without all the needed traffic improvements in place. My biggest beef right now is with the state. The firm is looking to cash in big time, and to heck with the community. The massive building is in a terrible location, and Penn is trying to put lipstick on this pig. However, when other options were raised over the years, like possibly working with another tribe to develop an alternate location, the Jamul Indians balked. No one can fault them for wanting to improve their economic situation. I blame the leadership of the Jamul Indian Village.

Who’s to blame for this Hollywood horror show? Now comes the casino, which is expected to add 9,000 daily car and truck trips to the area. Locals already consider the road a deathtrap.
