To the community,

Today, Feb. 16, the El Dorado County road maintenance department decided to do a horrific soaking of brine solution on North Upper Truckee Road and many other side streets for safety or tourists over the weekend.

There is the possibility of a light dusting of snow coming late Sunday, maybe.

The county has absolutely no conscience or consideration of local resident having to drive through this absurd over-application of brine solution for two days as sacrifice to allow tourists to never have to exercise winter driving conditions or slow down on our side streets.

This is typical El Do road maintenance arrogant bone-headed, way over-application days before a tiny possible snow event purely to allow tourists to drive down our side streets 60 mph with their phone app in one hand. They endanger locals and tourists walking the streets with their kids and dogs, ruin locals private property, and allow tourists privilege over locals to never be concerned to slow down for winter conditions.

The brine corrosion causes millions to locals expensive vehicles when they’re rusted to pieces after four years.

This county doesn’t give a crap for locals’ personal property and they need to be sued for damages for this purposeful neglect and carelessness.
