Background:
The proposed Cameron Park Drive/Oxford Road Intersection Signalization project is within the unincorporated area of El Dorado County, south of Green Valley Road and south of the Cameron Park Airport, in the Cameron Park area. DOT performed a volume warrants analysis for turn pockets in accordance with the National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 279. The intersection currently exceeds the minimum volumes that warrant construction of the left turn pockets and the installation of traffic signals. This project proposes installation of a traffic signal and turn lanes at the intersection in order to address traffic safety and intersection operations.
On June 20, 2006, your Board approved the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project, and adopted the associated mitigation monitoring plan.
The above-referenced parcel is affected by the Cameron Park Drive/Oxford Road Intersection Signalization Project #72343. The parcel is located on the west side of Cameron Park Drive and the north side of Oxford Road. The project will widen both Cameron Park Drive and Oxford Road intersections and will include signalization of the intersection. The kiosks at the entrance to the Airport interfer with proper sight distance and must be removed as part of the project.
Reason for Recommendation:
DOT will be removing the kiosk structure on the corner of Cameron Park Drive and Oxford Road situated on the Cameron Park Airport District property. The Permit to Enter and Construct grants permission to the County and its authorized employees, and its consultants and contractors to enter upon said property and remove the structure and allow parking for the construction vehicles and equipment.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
Director of the Department of Transportation to sign Permit to Enter and Construct.
