slide3.pngAmador County – The Amador County Transportation Commission board of directors last week approved 2 resolutions to commence studies on Highway 88 in Pine Grove and on Highway 49 in Plymouth. The expected widening project of Highway 88 has a total cost estimate of $2.27 Million Dollars, while the Plymouth Circulation Improvement Project was approved for $89,105 dollars. Both would conclude next May. Neil Peacock, planner and program manager for both projects, said the Plymouth project included a schedule, starting with forming an oversight committee and a developing public participation program in April and May. June through August will be for data collection and preliminary analysis, and then 3 community meetings in September through November will look at the project overview and general plan policy guidance; land use, traffic & the environment; and then funding strategies. In January 2010, Peacock scheduled a joint “city council and Planning commission meeting” and draft of a plan, with plan revision and a funding program handled next February and March. Next January to April will be used to develop and screen improvement recommendations and alternatives; then the selection of the final alternatives will occur in April and May 2010; with “adoption of the final preferred alternative” in May. Peacock has held outreach meetings with 2 Upcountry grassroots quasi-political groups, the Upcountry Community Council in Pioneer, and the Pine Grove Community Council in Pine Grove, describing the steps in the project.
