This project is a collaborative effort with The City of Angels, Calaveras Council of Governments and Caltrans to address community design, public spaces, bicycle and pedestrian facilities and parking facilities along the Main Street Angels Camp corridor. The study area extends from the intersection of Vallecito Road along the 49 Corridor to Murphys Grade Intersection. The study has focused on input from the community through the City, CCOG, stakeholders and public meetings to develop the design elements, guidelines and strategies to guide future improvements along the SR 49 Corridor.
The project began in December of 2015. The project team has hosted various public outreach events and opportunities for feedback including three public workshops, two walking tours, one-on-one stakeholder meetings, online surveys and five Advisory Committee meetings.
The last public workshop was in January of 2017 and was the final round of public input prior to release of a draft plan for public review and feedback.
The Final Plan was adopted by the City of Angels City Council on August 1, 2017 and accepted by the CCOG Board on August 2, 2017. The City and CCOG will utilize this plan, along with the community and other stakeholders, to seek funding and identify avenues for implementation of priority improvements. The City currently has two construction projects along this corridor that will look to incorporate recommendations and concepts from this Plan, those include the SR 49 sidewalk gap fill and Murphys Grade Road sidewalks and intersection improvements.
