Click Here for Highway 299 Construction Updates
Recently the Board of Supervisors voted to support the “No Project Alternative” for the West Side Connector. I am hopeful that this indicates a new level of analysis from the County, Cal Trans and our community towards the small, affordable adjustments to our transportation system that, together, can sustain our traffic volumes without hurting our economy and the environment.
A few of those projects are currently in the planning stages including a traffic calming project on the west side of Weaverville which will slow traffic as it enters the historic downtown business area with construction beginning in 2010. Another project in the planning stages is a Safe Routes To Schools project in conjunction with Weaverville Elementary School.
I would also like to take a moment to honor now former Transportation Director Carl Bonomini who has served Trinity County and the community of Weaverville for over 3 decades. His tenure as one of our best organizational managers has created a wonderful situation for our new director, Rick Tibbett, to step into. Please help me to thank Carl and welcome Rick.
We look forward to a bright future with Rick’s leadership and are grateful for the foundation that Carl has left for all of us.
