Highway budget funds Lake Mendocino County road projects
State highway budget for 1975 totals 985 million dollars, down from eight years earlier, prioritizing maintenance and efficiency over new freeways. In Mendocino and Lake counties, projects include widening Highway 101 near Laytonville and Willits, installing passing lanes on Rattlesnake Summit, and upgrading Highway 20 near Upper Lake with climbing lanes and a widened Clover Creek bridge. Additional funds cover right of way, resurfacing, and safety, with 2 million tied to environmental clearances. Technical details reflect inflation impacts and a shift from new construction to road life extension.

Alien fish invade Lake Mendocino and Russian River
California DFG biologists report at least 200 Mississippi silversides found during Lake Mendocino electrofishing. The slender silvery minnows native to the Midwest could spread into the Russian River system, potentially displacing native forage species and competing with juvenile salmon and striped bass. Biologists caution against moving bait fish between waters to prevent further spread.
