Comments on the MTP/SCS
Please include in both documents an immediate plan to add transit in Yolo County that connects Route 215 in
Madison and/or Esparto, with Winters and Vacaville (to hook up to Solano transit). Service to/from Winters/Esparto
could start for just Friday and Saturday nights to take advantage of entertainment in Winters that might include an
adult beverage. Avoids DUI.
Also, please fill the service gaps of YoloBus #215 to allow workers to fully commute from Western Yolo County. As
is, it is not possible to stay at work a full day b/c of the 4+ hour gap in service.
Please please please put in a bicycle lane (better yet, path) right away along Hwy 16 from Esparto to Woodland.
Also, continuing the bike lane up the Canyon from Esparto is hugely beneficial as well. I usually ride on any
roadway, but there are too many drunks/irresponsible drivers to brave the highway. The CalTrans Hwy 16 project is
still in litigation, but whatever comes out should be the bike lane/trail.
All these actions will reduce carbon emissions, improve public health, accessibility, water and other air quality.
Let me know when you plan to add these services/infrastructure.
