There's good news and bad news regarding the Monte Vista Avenue railroad crossing. The bad news is drivers will once again have to find alternate routes to reach Monte Vista Crossings, Highway 99 and other destinations west of Golden State Boulevard as Monte Vista Avenue will be closed Monday through Thursday next week for additional repairs over the railroad tracks. The good news is that Union Pacific Railroad finally agreed to fix its misaligned crossing that has made for a bumpy trip for drivers over the past five months.
