and dedication to transportation.
R.A. Barney Barnett, Highgrove area resident, congratulated the Commission
for receiving Federal Transit Administration (FTA) approval for the

recommended that the Commission visit the Highgrove site.
Garry Grant, Meadowbrook area resident, expressed concern for the road
conditions at the intersection of Dexter Road and Central Avenue/
State Route 74 in the city of Lake Elsinore as it is deteriorating rapidly. He
acknowledged that Caltrans contacted him about his concern, however there
was a communication issue. Additionally, he suggested that the city of

has been issued for the city of Lake Elsinore to begin work on interim
improvements at Interstate 15 and State Route 74, including the intersection

anticipated improvements to Mr. Grant in order to address his concerns.
