Truckee's Mini Mousehole

This is my town's (Truckee CA) new 'Mini Mousehole'. Two years and $14,000,000 later it's a work of art and keeps pedestrians from walking through the road tunnel which they've done for many years which scares the crap outta me when I drive through it, which is nearly every day. There's a residential area, Donner Creek "Dealer Creek" Trailer Park just this side of the tunnel and barely out of frame that is full of young mothers and kids. They walk to the SaveMart & CVS just the other side of the tunnel. Smoke a fattie and watch 2 years of construction go by in 2 minutes.
