The crash took place within the I-5 construction zone of the Red Bluff Reha- bilitation Project, which runs from Adobe Road in Red Bluff to Fourth Street in Cot- tonwood. Drivers were rerouted and sent off I-5 at Sunset Hills and back onto I-5 via the northbound on-ramp with delays of up to 90 min- utes, according to Caltrans Public Information Officer Denise Yergenson.

Blackburn Avenue will be repaved from Marguerite Avenue to First Street and the list includes installation of new signage, adding Solano Street to the Corning Road sign on the Interstate 5 exit. The council discussed what to do with the pos- sibility of adding a median turn lane on Solano Street east of the railroad tracks. parallel parking, he said. "We visited this a year and a half ago, but at the cross street there was a grade problem at Prune Street," Brewer said. "We had originally leaned toward a continu- ous median stretching from just east of the rail- road track terminating at Marguerite Avenue." The problem was a cross slope starting west of Prune Street on the south edge of the road, he said. The council had already approved paving that section, which is near the high school, but it would cost a bit more to add in the median turn lane since it would require two sets of stripes and reflectors, Brewer said. If approved, it would mean there would be one lane in each direc- tion for that section with a median turn lane, which would allow for "I'd much rather have a four way stop at First and Solano," Council- man Dave Linnet said. "It'd allow for better flow of traffic." A four-way stop sign on an arterial street is usually a precursor to a stop light, Brewer said. sus was to have the city engineer put together his input on the possibility of the median turn lane and bring that back to the next council meet- ing. The council consen- According to a department press release, DUI check- points are a proven enforcement tool effec- tive in reducing the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol involved crash- es. Research shows that crashes involving alco- hol drop by an average of 20 percent when well-publicized check- points are conducted often enough. Officers will be con- tacting drivers passing through the checkpoint for signs of alcohol and drug impairment. Offi- cers also will check for proper licensing and strive to delay motorists only momentarily. Drivers caught dri- ving impaired can expect jail, license sus- pension and insurance increases, as well as fines, fees, DUI classes and other expenses that can exceed $10,000. According to the National Highway Traf- fic Safety Administra- tion, checkpoints have provided the most effec- tive documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while yielding consider- able cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest oppor- tunity for achieving drunk and drugged dri- ving deterrence and pro- vide the greatest safety for officers and the pub- lic. "Deaths from drunk and drug-impaired dri- ving are going down in California," said Christopher J, Murphy, director of the Califor- nia Office of Traffic Safety. "But that still means that hundreds of our friends, family and co-workers are killed each year, along with tens of thousands who are seriously injured. We must all continue to work together to bring an end to these tragedies. If you see a drunk driver call 911." Funding for this checkpoint is provided to the Red Bluff Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, target- ing those who still don't heed the message to designate a sober driver.
