Document Description
Nevada County Transportation Commission (NCTC) in coordination with Caltrans propose to address mobility and safety concerns along State Route (SR) 49 from the SR 20/SR 49 junction to the Nevada County Juvenile Hall by implementing new multi-use paths, sidewalks, enhanced crossings, and intersections improvements. This project is necessary to address transportation needs and improve accessibility and safety along SR 49. This SR 49 corridor lacks continuous bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure as well as safe crossing locations, limiting the ability of residents to safely access the Government Center, recreation destinations, and the commercial areas in Nevada City. The project will establish connectivity to destinations between residential, municipal and recreational areas and connect to existing and future pedestrian/bicycle facilities.
