LCTC and Caltrans ATP Rollout next week

Your voice matters.  The Lassen County Transportation Commission and Caltrans District 2 will be presenting their draft “Active Transportation Plans” from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 30 in Westwood Depot Visitor Center, 462-885 3rd Street in Westwood, and from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Thursday, March 31 at the Susanville Railroad Depot, 601 Richmond Road in Susanville.

These two plans will be finalized by June 2022 and drive future investments in pedestrian and bicycle facilities in Lassen County for the next several years.  ATP routes are not the same as recreation trails.  ATP routes help people safety walk or bike to schools, businesses, medical centers, shopping areas or recreation destinations in town, etc.  ATP improvements can include sidewalks and paved paths, bike lanes, street crossings and signs.

The county ATP is for Lassen County maintained roads.  The Caltrans District 2 draft ATP is for State highways in Lassen County.  Caltrans is currently soliciting public comments on their draft ATP from March 8 to April 8, 2022.  You can review their ATP documents at:  https://www.catplan.org/district-2.
