Opening the Cal Park Hill Tunnel
On June 22nd, 2009, a ceremony was held to celebrate the opening of both portals of the Cal Park Hill Tunnel. Construction will continue through the end of 2009, but there is now a light at the end of the tunnel!
Here are some photos of the ceremony, taken by MCBC's Director of Planning David Hoffman.
