By Holly Boitano - The City of Sutter Creek's gateway project on the corner of Historic Highway 49 and the Highway 49 bypass has taken first place in the American Public Works Association Project of the Year competition. The "State Route 49 Bypass Landscape and Gateway Monument" won the Northern California Small Agency division of the annual competition. The monument was engineered by Folsom-based Dokken Engineering. The construction took place through a combined effort of the City of Sutter Creek and the Amador County Transportation Commission. Local resident Kathleen Lynch was the landscape architect for the project. "Without everyone working together, this would not have been possible," said Assistant City Manager Sean Rabe, who presented the City Council with the award at Monday's meeting. Dokken Engineering now plans to enter the project in the APWA's nationwide contest.
