SUBJECT: METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN / SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY
STRATEGIES FOR 2035 UPDATE, POLICY DOCUMENT AND DRAFT EIR
The Engineering and Surveying Department and the Department of Public Works Transportation
Division have reviewed the Draft Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) / Sustainable
Community Strategies (SCS) for 2035 and associated Draft EIR. The project applicant is the
Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG).
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this policy document and Draft EIR.
We would like to provide the following comment for your consideration:
1. Since the MTP is a long-range planning document for the SACOG region, the
following completed projects should be omitted from Appendix A (list of projects):
a. Douglas Boulevard Pedestrian Facilities and Landscaping.
b. Foresthill Passing Lane Modification Project.
c. Sheridan SRTS Project.
2. Draft Metropolitan Transportation Plan Project List: It appears that the City of
Lincoln Department of Public Works item on page 27 of 142 (dated October 27,
2011) in Appendix A to widen Fiddyment Road to 4 lanes from East Catlett to
Nicolaus Road may be in error. Fiddyment Road ends at Moore Road at its northern
limit, and this portion of Fiddyment is within the Placer County Department of Public
Works jurisdiction.
3. Draft Metropolitan Transportation Plan Project List: There is an error on page 38 of
142 in Appendix A – instead of Bell Ave., it should be Bell Road.
