Red Phone: Still waiting for new Gold’s Gym
"You had some information in January about the Gold's Gym opening in March or April. It is now April. I never see anyone over there working on the new building. You talked to the people at the gym, but is it possible to get information right from the city to see how they are with their permits and to see what Gold's Gym says – to see what the actual truth is about when they will be opening their facility."

Red Phone: Railroad crossing closed
"I am writing about a rough pothole-like road problem on Masten Avenue heading toward Santa Teresa Boulevard, just before crossing through Monterey Highway. There is a large, uneven, rough surface with sharp edges along the railway tracks. This is a frequently traveled surface and I can only assume how much damage the area is causing to cars that travel on it regularly – like myself. Can you find out how this nuisance can be fixed? I contacted Caltrans and they said it's not their problem. Thanks."
Red Phone: Intersection improvement update
Red Phone: Red Phone has received numerous calls about the intersection along Camino Arroyo and State Route 152 heading east out of Gilroy. One of the main concerns has been the left-turn lane when turning from Camino Arroyo heading back into town. People have said that it is difficult to see which turn lane to turn into. Red Phone forwarded these requests to Bernard Walik, the public information officer for Caltrans, which is responsible for maintaining the intersection. As a result, crews added raised markers, striping and pavement marking this week, he said. So while the Botts' dots may be more visible in the intersection, it is still important to be aware of other drivers around you.

Red Phone: Landscaping at CHS
"I was wondering why the very small but highly visible area of Christopher High did not get landscaped properly? This area is what presents the school from Santa Teresa Boulevard. It's in between not only one, but two chain link fences. There are lots of weeds and not much else. Simply doing drought tolerant, low-cost landscaping would have been nice."
Red Phone: Safety needed on 6th Street
"I have been a resident of Gilroy for many years and I was wondering why they can't put a detour on Sixth Street where all the work is going on. Recently a good friend of mine lost his life because of people's stupidity. Drivers don't watch where they are going and they don't look around or abide by the signs. The city should close that street like they did on the main street. I was in construction for more than 40 years. We always worked it out with the city to close the street down during working hours. Then they don't have to worry about watching their back."
Red Phone: Intersection needs help
"Is there anything the city can do, or is there someone we can contact regarding the dangerous turning situation drivers face when coming out of the Kohl's/Target shopping center? There are three left-hand turning lanes turning onto 10th Street off of Camino Arroyo. The lanes aren't marked well, and a car in one lane or another is always confused as to which lane is theirs when completing their turn. They drift over into the wrong lane, causing many many near collisions. I drive a big truck and am not hard to see. I try to stay in the far outside lane, but still I have been pushed over many times by a confused neighboring motorist. I've seen many drivers in the inside lane cut off the drivers in the the middle lane. It's not intentional. It's just a big intersection with three turning lanes. It's not marked well or lined up and set up well, so it does get confusing. It is scary and something must be done soon. I bet if we did a poll this has happened to just about everyone in town making that turn and on more than one occasion."
