The 2020 RTP/SCS includes an update of the preferred “balanced” land use scenario, which considers the latest regional growth forecasts, recent regional trends in development and housing, and known impacts of the Camp Fire.  This approach recognizes the lower than anticipated housing and population growth and minimal changes made to local land use plans over the past four years, with continued focus on the primary land use strategies developed in 2012.

Amendment #3 - Comment period is is August 2, 2024 through September 3, 2024 for a 30 day official public review period.  Amendment #3 includes new projects to the RTP/SCS and review of the new 2025 FTIP.  This amendment makes the following changes:

 

1. Caltrans - Grouped Projects for Safety Improvements - SHOPP Collision Reduction Program. This amendment updates the current Grouped Project listing to add a project on State Route 191 near Paradise from 0.25 mile north of Durham Pentz Road to 0.25 mile south of Durham Pentz Road (PM 3.278 / 3.778). The scope of the project is to improve the existing intersection/roundabout to address collision patterns. The project is exempt from a regional emissions analysis per the Environmental Protection Agency’s Transportation Conformity Rule Section 93.127 Exempt from Regional Emissions Analysis, Table 3 – Projects Exempt From  Regional Emissions Analyses indicating that intersection channelization projects are exempt. This project was not previously included in Caltrans’ Grouped Listing and therefore amendment
is required.

Adds a New Exempt Project:
2. Butte County – Lumpkin Rd Rehabilitation Project – This amendment adds the Lumkin Rd Rehabilitation project. The scope of this project is to rehabilitate Lumpkin Rd damaged as a result of the Bear Fire (North Complex West) and the subsequent disaster recovery work from near Forbestown Rd to the end of pavement near CalFire State 51. A total of $4 million in Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed funds and $459,000 in local match is programmed. The project is exempt from a regional emissions analysis per the Environmental Protection Agency’s Transportation Conformity Rule Section 93.126 Exempt from Regional Emissions Analysis, Table 2 Safety – Projects Exempt From Regional Emissions Analyses indicating that pavement resurfacing and/or rehabilitation are exempt.

Adds a New Non-Exempt Project:
3. Town of Paradise – Roe Rd Extension for Phase 2 Project. This amendment updates the project description to increase the scope to include a new 3 lane road with bicycle and pedestrian facilities from South Libby Rd to State Route 191/ Clark Rd. to address emergency evacuation needs highlighted by the 2018 Paradise Camp Fire. This project is funded with Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds, Local Transportation Climate Adaptation Program (LTCAP) and Local funds for a total of $41,000,000.
