Bob Rhodes addresses Loomis traffic congestion at public comment session

During the Loomis Town Council meeting on December 14, 2023, residents voiced concerns about increasing traffic congestion on Horseshoe Bar Road. Citizen Bob Rhodes highlighted that weekday traffic is frequently backing up due to insufficient capacity at the Raley's off-ramp, causing delays that extend over the bridge and into the intersection.

Rhodes warned that as traffic volumes rise—especially with the anticipated opening of a new fourth lane between Highway 65 and Rocklin—these issues are likely to worsen. He urged the council to consider long-term solutions to manage the growing traffic demands effectively.

The discussion underscored the need for proactive measures to address the town's infrastructure challenges as Loomis continues to grow. The council's response to these concerns will be crucial in shaping future traffic management strategies and ensuring the safety and convenience of residents.
