The El Dorado County Health and Human Services Agency, Area Agency on Aging (AAA), in partnership with the Commission on Aging, is conducting a needs assessment survey of older adults in the community. El Dorado County residents aged 60 and older are encouraged to complete the survey, but interested residents of any age may provide their feedback. The survey, which is open through January 3, 2020, may be accessed online at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2020OlderAdultSurvey
"This survey will help identify the needs, priorities and challenges faced by current and future seniors in our county," said Richard Todd, Program Manager with El Dorado County Older Adult Services. "The results of the survey will also help the AAA develop its four-year Area Plan which outlines the services and programs for older adults that will be delivered within our communities."
Survey participants will be asked about their experiences accessing services and resources in the county, problems or challenges they have faced related to aging or retiring in the community, demographic and other information.
For questions, or to have a survey sent through the U.S. mail, please contact Yasmin Hichborn, Department Analyst with the Health and Human Services Agency, by phone at (530) 642-4833 or via email at yasmin.hichborn@edcgov.us. Copies of the survey are also available at the Placerville Senior Center, the El Dorado Hills Senior Center and the Cameron Park Community Center.

Board of Supervisors Meeting Room
330 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA
The Department of Transportation received federal funds from the Federal Highway Association Highway Bridge Program (HBP) to replace the existing Mosquito Road Bridge (Project) located in a steep canyon of the South Fork of the American River, six miles north of U.S. Highway 50, and 2.3 miles south of the communities of Mosquito and Swansboro. The purpose of the Project is to replace the existing bridge with a functional bridge that meets current design and safety standards. The Project continues to progress through the design phase, right of way, and moving toward preparation for construction. Within the design phase, design details for the bridge are being discussed which includes alternatives for aesthetic treatment, texture, and options for barrier rails. In collaboration with the Health and Human Services Agency, Transportation has discussed safety and height features for the barrier rails on the bridge, signs, emergency telephones, and lighting. Many options are being considered to increase the safety of the bridge.
