Red Phone, for some reason Llagas Road has been extremely slick
with (last week’s) rain, much more so than recently. (Thursday) the
city placed warning signs and sand on the road at some especially
bad spots, which is also unusual. This is not a case of the ‘first
rain of the season,’ so did something happen to the road?

“Red Phone, for some reason Llagas Road has been extremely slick with (last week’s) rain, much more so than recently. (Thursday) the city placed warning signs and sand on the road at some especially bad spots, which is also unusual. This is not a case of the ‘first rain of the season,’ so did something happen to the road?”
Red Phone: Dear Slick, it sure did. Red Phone contacted Anthony Eulo, program administrator with the city, who said a garbage truck owned by Recology Inc., formerly Norcal Waste Systems, Inc., sustained a considerable transmission fluid leak which was not immediately noticed by the driver.
“Once it was noticed, the vehicle was pulled out of service,” Eulo said. “With the rain falling at the same time, the streets became noticeably slick. The city and Recology worked together to spread sand and post signs notifying drivers of the slick conditions. Recology conducted further site investigations Friday and additional cleanup activities Monday.”
There you have it, good caller. Things should be back to normal on Llagas Road today.
Yes, Associated Concrete is moving
“Dear Red Phone, I recently was driving down Main Avenue and noticed that where Associated Concrete once stood is a pile of rock. I was aware, that Associated Concrete was moving. I was just wondering why they had to move and where they moved to.”
Red Phone: Dear Why and Where, Red Phone answered a similar question back in August. The company has built its new plant at Mast Street and Vineyard Boulevard.
Anthony Goularte, the owner of Associated Concrete, said the firm will close up shop by the end of the year to make room for the new townhouse development currently under construction.
“Between downtown and the courthouse, and townhouses going up around us we are in the wrong place,” Goularte said. “Long term, it’s not the place to be.”
Good caller, hope that answers your question.
