MONTEREY COUNTY, Calif. (KION-TV) — Cut-through traffic near Toro Park Elementary has become a safety hazard, according to officials, and now there’s a new project in the works aiming to fix it.
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) says that the Toro Park Cut-through Traffic Project will block drivers from using neighborhood streets to avoid congestion on Highway 68’s busy morning commute.
This, TAMC is hoping, will protect residents, especially near the elementary school, from unsafe and heavy traffic to help improve overall traffic flow.
