The intersection is not a perfect 90 degrees. Can’t you realign the intersection?

Striping changes to increase the angle of the northbound left turn were implemented in October 2019.  These changes include realigning the eastbound lane on Old Auburn Road to allow a broader turn radius from northbound Fair Oaks Boulevard.  Any additional changes to realign the roadways to intersect at 90 degrees will require reconstruction of the entire intersection and a portion of Fair Oaks Boulevard.  Realignment would also require purchase of property from one or more privately owned parcels.  For these reasons, it is not feasible to realign the intersection any more than what has already been done at this time.
