ROAD RUMOR IS UNTRUE, SAYS COUNTY

A rumor that the County Dept. of Public Works has run out of money to finish the medians on Valley Center Road is not only untrue, it's untrue with an exclamation point!

"The rumor is not true!" Michael Long, project manager for DPW, told me when I forwarded an email that I had gotten from a reader, who had heard something to this effect from some worker with Archer Western, the road contractor.

The plans are to finish the medians and plant low water usage native plants before the end of the year.
