Re: “Tags on 101 bridge frustrating Caltrans,” published in The Star March 29:

California Department of Transportation spokeswoman Judy Gish states that there doesn’t seem to be a solution. Well, isn’t that encouraging? Put up the white flag and surrender.

I would think that Caltrans would have some liability if a tagger were to fall from the tip-top of one of those cranes, right? But there’s no solution?

Perhaps citizens could get involved. I’m sure that there are cars passing when this tagging is going on. Put up a big sign with an easy number that can be called from a cell phone any time of day or night.
Citizens are going to be patrolling our southern border in April because our government can’t do it. Why not ask citizens to patrol the bridge? Police departments have citizen patrols who could coordinate this effort.

If the people of the community don’t get involved, I think the message of blight on the community is accurate.
