slide18The September 19th Amador County Transportation Committee meeting saw discussion of several proposals that would improve county roads. Project Manager Scott Moss gave a brief presentation on a proposed Pine Grove Bypass. He discussed possibilities of a bypass to either the north or the south of the city, as well as the possibility of widening the route through town. He stated that the ACTC was in the process of completing a more thorough report through Cal-trans. Moss also says that Cal-Trans will be instating a survey crew at the highway 49 bridge in Sutter Creek, in order to monitor the bridge through the winter and ascertain why the bridge is deteriorating.
He said that Cal-trans did not want a “temporary fix” to the situation, and that hopefully they would have some answers in the spring of next year. The committee also discussed the construction of new sidewalks in the City of Sutter Creek, in order to comply with the standards of the American’s with Disabilities Act. The committee did motion to approve a new resolution and appendix for the Regional Transportation Plan. Amador County Transportation Committee Planner Sean Rabe’, gave a presentation on the Plan, in which he drew attention to a county traffic infrastructure that is not keeping pace with recent development.  The new resolution included an increase in Regional Traffic Mitigation fees as well as a Fair Share payment that will be paid by individuals building new homes in the county.
