At first this would bother me, but then there was a similar disinformation campaign with NYSDOT a few months ago. And from everything I can gather, CalTrans is phasing out their dual standard compromise and going back to metric.
Nat >>>>>>>>>>>>> Metric vs. English Plans ... California, New York, New Hampshire and Vermont are the only four states remaining on the metric system for standard plans and specifications. At Caltrans request, AGC of California surveyed its members to see if they prefer using Metric or English plans. Caltrans and AGC will review the survey results during their meeting next week. http://www.agc-ca.org/extra.htm
