Amador County – Construction already under way on a crossing of Sutter Creek will affect the city’s road traffic, as well as the location of the Saturday Farmer’s Market in downtown. The Sutter Creek Planning Commission last week approved a use permit for the market at its regular city lot, off Eureka Street, with an amended location to have it housed on the city’s southern edge lot, beside Main Street. That will allow Mountain Cascade to finish its work on the Amador Water Agency water pipeline to Plymouth. The pipeline will traverse the Sutter Creek waterway on a pedestrian bridge between the parking lot behind the community center and city hall. The bridge will connect that lot with the city lot on Eureka Street. Farmer’s Market manager Michelle Grondin said the market, which gets underway this month, had already advertised that it would be using the south lot, instead of a lot on Gopher Flat Road. The commission approved the use of the south Main lot, but also could change the location if needed. A resolution approving the use said the Amador Farmer’s Market has been operating in Sutter Creek since 1994. The market will operate from 8 a.m. to noon each Saturday, from June through October. The use permit includes changing a portion of Main Street will be “designated and limited to one-way north-bound vehicular traffic. The south exit of Main Street shall be designated as ‘right turn only’ onto south-bound Main Street.” Grondin said the Amador Farmer’s Market will operate June 13th through October. Workers for Mountain Cascade began work on the pedestrian bridge last week, cutting into the asphalt of both parking lots. The pipeline connects the city of Plymouth with the Tanner Water Treatment Plant on Ridge Road, and supply potable water to Plymouth.
