Memorandum
Date: November 5, 2024
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: District 1 Supervisor, Moke Simon
District 2 Supervisor, Bruno Sabatier
Subject: Consideration of Letter of Support Regarding CalTrans application to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) for the LAK-29 Konocti Corridor 2B Project
Executive Summary:
As the Board is aware, CalTrans in partnership with the Lake County Area Planning Commission (APC) has been working on the LAK-29 Konocti Corridor project for some time. This project would alleviate some of the traffic patterns exhibited on Highway 20, increase safety in our roadways, and provide critical transportation connectivity and economic improvements for the County and the region.
Konocti Corridor project is split into three sections. As of June 2023, the first three mile section, Section 2C, was completed. It ranges from .75 miles Northwest of Kit’s Corner to less than half a mile west of the intersection of 175 and 29. Section 2B is the next step in this large project. This will start from where section 2C ended approximately .75 miles Northwest of Kit’s Corner to approximately half a mile west of DNA Ridge Rock on Highway 29.
This is an important project for the safety and for the development of our communities both interacting with Highway 20 as well as the upgraded Highway 29 Konocti Corridor section.
The APC and CalTrans is seeking our support for this project and our approval of this letter.
