Public Notice – Notice of Preparation
The Capital SouthEast Connector, is a major transportation project proposing a 35-mile roadway spanning from Interstate 5, south of Elk Grove, to Hwy 50 in El Dorado County, just east of El Dorado Hills.
Community meetings have completed for each of the five member jurisdictions. Written comments on the scope of the NOP are due MARCH 17, 2010.
Alternative 3 is the most direct, most efficient, least intrusive alternative. It also includes an off-corridor multi-use path so bicyclists and hikers are not exposed to vehicle exhaust.
I prefer Alternative 3. It is the most direct alternative. I think, given the other options, this is the most efficient alternative. Knowing the area as well as I do, I’m certain Alternative 3 would be a lot less intrusive than some of the other alternatives. I like the inclusion of an off-road bicycle multi-use path. Bikers and hikers should not be exposed to vehicle exhaust.
