State Route 20/49 Complete Streets Interchange Improvements Feasibility Study
State Route 20/49 Complete Streets Interchange Improvements Feasibility Study
Caltrans conducted a feasibility study on the State Route (SR) 20/49 interchange to assess and develop comprehensive alternative solutions that address bicyclist and pedestrian safety, accessibility, and connectivity. The study explored alternative safety solutions that improve traffic flow for easy and efficient access to the interchange.
Overview
Caltrans and our partners initiated a feasibility study to evaluate accessibility for bicyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles at the SR 20/49 interchange located in the City of Grass Valley.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to develop potential solutions that address bicyclists, pedestrians, and vehicular needs at or near the interchange. In collaboration with local and regional partners, the intent of the study is to create a safe, comprehensive, connected, and integrated transportation network that enhances transportation accessibility for the interchange and its surrounding facilities through viable infrastructure improvements.
Need
Evaluate the current conditions at the SR 20/49 interchange to better support bicyclists, pedestrians, and vehicular facilities. Currently, the interchange lacks bicycle facilities and only includes sidewalks on the north-side of the interchange. This study will consider existing travel performance measures and will seek to identify improvements that better accommodate all modes of travel.
