In This Issue:



HWY 49

The El Dorado County Transportation Commission (EDCTC) in partnership with Caltrans, and the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA) has commissioned a multimodal corridor plan for State Route (SR) 49. This plan will examine things like infrastructure characteristics, corridor operations, and collision history to inform recommended improvements for parking access, new transit/shuttle services, safety, and operational efficiency.

The second public workshop will be held in person on Thursday July 14 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm in the Gymnasium of the Northside Elementary School in Cool located at 860 Cave Valley Road Cool, Ca 95614. This workshop will provide another opportunity for the public to provide input and receive a presentation on some of the study components which have been completed or are under development. These include an overview of the existing conditions including parking, trucking traffic, and safety concerns along with a discussion about transit options and a discussion of draft proposed improvements. This second public workshop will further opportunities for the local and regional users of SR 49 and the confluence to provide critical input into this study. The project team is well aware of many of the concerns regarding safety, evacuation, and heavy truck traffic along the corridor and are working diligently to come up with a path forward to help resolve some of those issues. The team looks forward to a robust and well attended workshop on July 14th.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to visit the project website at https://www.americanriverat49.com/.
The website includes a survey and interactive online map to provide additional input.
