How know if it's a bad air day?

When the winds slow down in the summer, the Fairfield temperatures often rise. This combination often creates bad air days. So do less outdoors when you have the combination of warmer than usual summer weather, and little wind. The dynamics for cooler months is somewhat different - check back for details when it cools down here at http://FixFairfield.BlogSpot.com. Save yourself from Fairfield bad day airs.

Surprise Impacts From New I-80 Interchange?

What is really going to happen with the proposed changes to the highway I-80 interchanges with highways 680 and 12? Is trouble brewing ahead?

Have You Thought Of These Important Questions?

• Must central Fairfield become less accessible via the new highway ramp locations?
• Increasing driving time to downtown Fairfield from the highway ramps, means fewer diners and shoppers coming downtown. What effect will the new ramps have on reducing downtown spending?
• Revitalizing central Fairfield creates more jobs. The improved economic vitality of central Fairfield will increases the tax revenue. Without this expected tax revenue, will we have to further raise taxes?
• When will the expensive studies and great designs for revitalizing West Texas Street be openly shown in public meetings? Almost everyone believed it would revitalize Fairfield.
• Where did the monies set aside for revitalizing West Texas Street disappear to before the recession?
• The city promised to start revitalizing West Texas Street by 2000. Will the city set a new deadline? Will the businesses asked to invest in central Fairfield as part of the stalled program be compensated for the city not keeping its promise to fix the area?
• Will downtown businesses continue paying the extra downtown business tax, after the highways take away part of their customer base?

Can we be candid? Might this be resolved with team spirit? The majority agrees the I-80 interchange needs help. So let’s compromise; and stop backstabbing. We look forward to working together..!

Old Highway 80 Hurt Downtown Fairfield

I-80 took business away from our downtown. Back in the old days, traffic that went on highway 80, went through downtown Fairfield. Since 80 opened, the city has had to invest money into downtown to compensate for the loss of business. Highway 12’s improvements also effected downtown Fairfield in the later years. Downtown is the backbone for our community – let’s think smart growth and revitalize downtown Fairfield. Walnut Creek did a great revitalizing job.

Adding Traffic Lights Hurts Downtown

More traffic lights takes longer to get to downtown. Though Steven Kays argued against it, the city went ahead and put in a new traffic light at Winery Square and the new apartment complex. Steven Kays has asked the city about the second traffic added light when they change the off ramp from I-80 to downtown.

Fairfield Wine Capital

There is little difference in the temperatures between Napa, Sonoma and Solano. Fairfield could be made into a great household name for wines. That will boost local employment and house prices! We need to boost Fairfield's image.

Toler Wants Recall Election

Toler is now wanting to put together a recall election against Solano sheriff Stanton. Toler accuses the county of being too tough on him. Meanwhile, our protective services have more important things to worry about than these law suits. Toler is negatively effecting public perception of our protective services. The sheriffs and police put their lives on the line to protect us. Toler might try to forgive any rudeness he experienced dealing with the county, and move on with his life. Nobody is perfect. And that much anger isn't healthy.

Highway death rates

Based on recent highway death figures published at DailyRepublic.com, you have a 1% chance of getting killed if you put on 100,000 miles on ten different cars. Though it's gotten better, the death rate is still much too high. We must crack down more on Fairfield drunk drivers!

Spering & Seifert Fixing Solano Fairgrounds

Consider integrating the fairgrounds with a countywide business and tourism promotion package.

Solano county supervisors Jim Spering and Linda Seifert are overhauling our old fairgrounds. They are shaping the “Solano 360 – Listen, Inspire & Make It Real” program.

Solano County isn’t big enough for a gigantic promotion budget, but will gain better economy of scale when our seven Solano County cities of Benicia, Dixon, Fairfield, Rio Vista, Suisun City, Vacaville and Vallejo work together. Jim Spering and Linda Seifert are real team players.

The politics of innovation brings everyone together. This is better than the old way of being limited to small groups that might have narrow self-interest. Let’s be flexible and make everyone part of the team. As for myself, my Solano Business Incubator volunteers time and free conference rooms for helping create more jobs and is open to help the Solano Fairgrounds.
