As the next step in identifying relatively lower cost, near-term alternatives addressing existing safety issues on the U.S. 50 corridor in the Camino area, the El Dorado County Transportation Commission (EDCTC) entered into a professional services agreement in April 2008 with CH2M Hill to develop a Project Study Report (PSR) for the Camino Corridor. The PSR was developed in collaboration with El Dorado County DOT, Caltrans, and the Camino community. Based on public comment received during the Camino Parallel Capacity/Safety Study project and input provided at the December 10, 2007 Camino Stakeholder Advisory Committee meeting, EDCTC expected the PSR to address the following issues:
-
Analyze the potential for local road connections south of U.S. 50, including Still Meadows Road to Newtown Road
-
Analyze other alternatives, including median barriers and restricted access along the study area and potential locations for an undercrossing of U.S. 50.
-
Analyze effect on alternatives of existing and potential development of land north and south of U.S. 50 in the project area
-
Provide traffic modeling of alternatives that considers high volumes of interregional traffic traveling to and from South Lake Tahoe and recreational and agritourism destinations in El Dorado County co-mingling with local and regional through traffic
-
Work cooperatively with Caltrans, DOT, EDCTC, stakeholders, and the general public
-
Maintain open and continuous communication with agencies, stakeholders, and the general public
The project limits extend from the Smith Flat Road Interchange just east of the Placerville city limits to the Cedar Grove Interchange in El Dorado County. Figure 1 describes the Camino Project Study Report (PSR) area, which includes U.S. 50 within the project limits and all significant local roadways and trails within the project area. EDCTC received valuable input from the community and the Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) during the development of the Camino Area Parallel Capacity/Safety Study. Public outreach and involvement were major components of the Camino Corridor PSR and included the following groups/entities:
• Apple Hill Growers Association
• Camino Community Action Committee
• Camino Heights Advisory Committee
• Camino Hills Property Owners Association
• Camino Union School District
• El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce
