Krueger Canyon Road Development Agreement & Safety Improvements
A development agreement with CEMEX will replace a dangerous stretch of Krueger Canyon Road — 50-foot right of way, heavy truck traffic, two 90-degree turns, and low-water crossings — with a modern 80-foot right-of-way, 24-foot pavement road built to the county's new subdivision standards.
