Amador County – The Amador County Transportation Commission in its April meeting Wednesday could request the participation of the Local Agency Formation Commission in ACTC’s UPlan population and traffic mapping program. ACTC Executive Director Charles Field in recent Amador County General Plan Update meetings has taken questions about the 5 cities in the county, all of which are working to change their respective Spheres of Influence. The ACTC board of directors will consider sending a letter to the Amador County LAFCO requesting its participation in the Amador UPlan, which uses current populations in cities to map out traffic impacts, to analyze mitigation fees. The letter is part of the board’s consent agenda. Also related to the UPlan, the board will consider a staff request for authorization “to hire a student intern to assist with the refinement of the UPlan model and the County Geographic Information System database.” The board will also consider submitting a project for federal transportation funding; specifically for work at the intersection of Highway 104 at Prospect Road and Bowers Drive. The ACTC board will also discuss Tri-County projects under the State Transportation Improvement Program and the State Highway Operation and Protection Program. Staff will also give a report and submit a resolution to support transit and roadway projects under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act or the Federal Economic Stimulus Program. The board will also hear a report from the California Department of Transportation, and could also authorize Field to execute an agreement with the CALTRANS Disadvantage Business Enterprise for local agencies. ACTC meets at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the administration building, 810 Court Street in Jackson. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots.
