Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On June 18, 2024, Legistar file 24-0838, the Board adopted the 2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which includes the Country Club Drive Extension - Silva Valley Parkway to Tong Road Project (Project), CIP number 36105008. The current Project description is to construct a new two-lane road from Silva Valley Parkway to Tong Road, which includes curb, gutter, and sidewalk for a portion of the road segment. Transportation is requesting to include improvements at the impacted intersections of Silva Valley Parkway, Tong Road, and Clarksville Road to the Project.
The previous interchange project modifications to Silva Valley Parkway and Tong Road left limited accesses at Tong Road and Clarksville Road. This Project will improve traffic movements at the Project intersections and roadways.
Transportation plans to release a Request for Proposals (RFP) for environmental review, traffic operations, and engineering design services for the Project. The consultant retained will first study whether the Project meets the criteria for separate environmental review from Country Club Drive Extension - East of El Dorado Hills Blvd to Silva Valley Parkway and Country Club Drive Extension - Tong Road to Bass Lake Road/Old Bass Lake Road, CIP numbers 36105007 and 36105009.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to approve the Project. Transportation will continue planning the Project for the future as currently adopted in the 2024 CIP; however, the design may not be fully compatible with the existing intersections and future projects currently in the CIP.
