The roadway width at this location forces some vehicles, such as buses and tank trucks which by law must stop at grade crossings, to stop on the traveled way of highway. Lee said this stopping causes the risk of rear-end-accidents or unsafe changes of lanes by following vehicles.

The Commission budgeted $42,000 in state highway funds for this improvement. New Chamber Office FRED CONWAY at his desk in the Nevada county-Nevada City Chamber of Commerce office is surrounded by furnishings of the 19th century. Conway works three days a week in the South Yuba Canal Building as the county chamber executive. The old building, recently restored for Nevada City, may have only furnishings of the building’s period, the owners decided. The lovely brass light fixture sports three lamps, once gas but now electricity, and three eagles as decorations. The gas stove behind Conway’s desk, is an antique but of a later period than the building and light fixture. The furniture is last century and most of it donated by the Empire mine, once graced the Empire mine office.
