Looks like we'll have to EXPECT SOME MAJOR DELAYS (closures?) on SR-94 THROUGH JANUARY. Drivers headed down Honey Springs this morning had a unexpected surprise. They STRONGLY suggest detouring on Skyline TT and Lyons Valley Road. And if you DO take 94, there could be more than one stop, each lasting from 5-15 minutes.
CASINO TRAFFIC- I hate to keep harping on it, but this is just a small taste of what the proposed casino will be bringing our way. SR-94 is already dangerous. Here's some stats I found yesterday on road fatalities on the nearest 10 miles of access to other casinos.

| Data from SD U-T, June 2013 |
WITHOUT a casino, we already have 6 times the fatality rate as the county average. The bandaid-fixes CalTrans has proposed so far are completely inadequate. (Like adding an extra lane for a couple hundred yards at the entrance.)
Over the last decade, the 10-mile section of SR-94 directly leading to the proposed Casino already has
- SIX TIMES the average fatality rate of all other SD County rural roads
- FIVE TIMES the rate of Dehesa Rd into Sycuan Casino
- TWICE the rate of Wildcat Canyon Rd into to Barona
Can you imagine our fatality rate WITH a Jamul Casino ?
