Yesterday, for the first time ever I observed a CHP stopped here on the SB shoulder of Sonoma/Hi 29 and the illegal vendor removing all the "Cherries" signs while packing up to leave as the CHP officer monitored. This situation has caused more than a few near-misses with people pulling out onto fast moving Sonoma Bl SB- watching oncoming traffic- then going when there is a gap -only to immediately have to brake hard because someone decides to buy whatever is being sold here. Outside of them not being licensed, not having permits, removing most of the No Parking Anytime signs- it's created a hazard. I am most grateful to the CHP officer for handling this. If VPD didn't ignore this for so long it wouldn't be an issue. Because this is both a Vallejo street and a state highway it's dual jurisdiction and CHP helped.

I couldn't help myself- I stopped and thanked the CHP officer for his actions. Law enforcement officers get enough bad raps that it's important to give them positive feedback.
