Traffic Mitigation Update:

We have a petition here to move forward with no left turn restrictions two places in the business area
just north of Blair Hills during cut-through traffic times (4-7PM weekdays).  Some neighbors oppose
this effort because it would also slow our entry into the neighborhood, so the petition is now
on hold.  Older efforts to stop cut-through traffic are described
here.

Oil Field Update:
Freeport-McMoRan sold its California onshore oil and gas properties (inclusive of the
Inglewood Oil Field) to Sentinel Peak Resources California LLC
.
