MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – Those interested in seeing improvements on and near Highway 29 in Lake County are being encouraged to provide comments and suggestions by week’s end.

Comments can be submitted through this Friday, March 22, through the planning project’s Web site at http://www.lakecountysr29.com/public-comment/ .

The overall planning project includes a Highway 29 South Corridor Engineered Feasibility Study (EFS) and Middletown Community Action Plan (CAP), which will identify transportation improvements to make intraregional and interregional travel safer and more convenient, reduce congestion and address local community needs.

The Highway 29 South Corridor EFS will identify and analyze potential short-term and long-term transportation improvements from the Napa County line to State Route 53 in Lower Lake.  

The CAP will focus on potential roadway improvements in Middletown, including bike, pedestrian, transit and equestrian alternatives.

The project is managed by Caltrans and the Lake County/City Area Planning Council, and is scheduled for completion in the fall 2013.

In addition to providing online comments, interested community members also can provide feedback at three community meetings planned for later in the year.
