Caltrans Introduces First Draft Access Management Plan
CENTRAL COAST — Caltrans and its study partners are hosting a round of public workshops as part of the Highway 17 Access Management Plan (AMP) in June, Caltrans officials have announced. These workshops will introduce the first draft of conceptual-level projects developed within the plan. These concepts were developed based on a corridor performance assessment as well as public and partner input.
The Highway 17 Access Management Plan has been developed to address multiple issues and range from small scale to large-scale improvements. The workshops are intended as a forum to present the concepts to the community for discussion and feedback. The AMP is a planning-level study to document unfunded needs only and does not initiate specific projects. Below are the dates and locations for the three workshops:
- Scotts Valley: Thursday, June 2, 6 – 8 p.m. Scotts Valley Senior Center, Main Room 370 Kings Village Road
- Happy Valley: Thursday, June 9, 6 – 8 p.m. Happy Valley Conference Center 2159 Branciforte Drive
- Summit/Loma Prieta: Tuesday, June 14, 6 – 8 p.m. Loma Prieta Elementary School, Forum Room 23800 Summit Road Los Gatos, CA
The Highway 17 AMP is being developed to address the long-range safety, mobility and access needs for the corridor. Caltrans strongly encourages the public to attend these workshops and have their say about this important study.
