We kicked off 707 Day on Tuesday with the ribbon cutting for the SR37 Fairgrounds Drive diverging diamond interchange - a celebration full of joy, community pride, and gratitude.
In addition to providing quicker and safer access to Six Flags and the Solano County Fairgrounds, this interchange most directly impacts residents of the Country Club Crest, who cut the ribbon and hosted a community block party after the ceremony. A huge thanks to Mac Mall for joining alongside youth from Boys and Girls Empowerment Group and Healthy Vallejo.
We were joined by Congressman John Garamendi, elected officials from throughout the county, and the teams from Caltrans and Solano Transportation Authority who made the project possible. The new traffic pattern (which debuted in May) has already shown positive results - easing congestion and improving safety for those traveling by car, bike, and on foot.
Vallejo's electeds went straight from the event to Mare Island, where Congressman Garamendi presented a check to Vallejo Flood and Wastewater for the $1.1 million congressional appropriation which is funding public infrastructure improvements on the island.
That afternoon I also had the honor of joining a community resource fair organized by Disabled American Veterans of Vallejo. A huge thank you to all who contributed to that event.
There are several more events planned for 707 Week - please visit 707week.com for a full list. Thanks to all the organizers, participating businesses and community partners.
