Angels Camp North Main Street/SR 49 Complete Streets Corridor Plan and Copello Road Pedestrian Connector- 2020

,

Overview

The Calaveras Council of Governments (CCOG) and City of Angels applied for and received a 2017/18 Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant through Caltrans made possible through Senate Bill 1. The CCOG serves as the eligible applicant, while the City will serve as project lead. The project will incorporate transit and other pedestrian safety improvements on SR 49 in the northern area of Angels Camp.

The process will provide for facilitated community and stakeholder outreach and will result in conceptual designs and necessary technical data for a competitive Active Transportation Program grant application.


Overall project goals are to:

  • Enhance connectivity and multi-modal transportation options along North Main Street/SR 49 and Copello Road.
  • Protect existing and planned transportation investments along SR 49 by addressing critical gaps in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.
  • Improve access to transportation and mobility for the residents of northern Angels Camp including the communities of Copello Square Apartments and Angels Court RV Park.
  • Improve safety, comfort, and convenience for non-motorized modes and local transit.
  • Improve livability for all economic segments of the community.
  • Promote active living.
  • Connect key features in the community together with complete streets alternatives.
  • Enhance the environment by improving ways for residents and visitors to enjoy and appreciate the city’s scenic and natural resources.

The Plan will be consistent with recently completed planning efforts connecting to this area of town including the SR 4/49 Gateway Corridor Study and Angels Camp Main Street Plan. This Plan fills a gap in needed planning for future improvements to connect this area of town to the rest of the community.
