ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Humboldt County Association of Governments HCAOG, the City of Eureka, and the California Department of Transportation, District 1 are developing a corridor plan to reduce congestion on the most highly traveled corridor in the City of Eureka by providing more transportation choices for residents, commuters, and visitors to the area of the corridor, while preserving the character of the local community and creating opportunities for neighborhood enhancement projects.

The Project’s final product will result in a comprehensive corridor plan that will include performance objectives for managing operations and will identify improvements that are eligible to compete for funding under California’s Solutions for Congested Corridors Program, the State Highway Operation and Protection Program, as well as other applicable funding programs.
To qualify for funding the plan must:
​

1. Be designed to reduce congestion in highly travelled corridors by providing more transportation choices for residents, commuters, and visitors to the area of the corridor while preserving the character of the local community and creating opportunities for neighborhood enhancement projects.
2. Reflect a comprehensive approach to addressing congestion and quality-of-life issues within the corridor through investment in transportation and related environmental solutions.
3. Be developed in collaboration with state, regional, and local partners.
4. Evaluate the following criteria:
   • Safety
   • Congestion
   • Accessibility
   • Economic Development and Job Creation and Retention
   ​• Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction
   • Water quality / Stormwater runoff treatment
   • Efficient Land Use

The plan is expected to achieve a balanced set of transportation, environmental, and community access improvements within the corridor. The comprehensive multimodal corridor plan will consider system performance using the stated evaluation criteria and be prepared to quantify how transportation solutions identified in the plan will improve performance. The preferred alternative(s) will be selected according to which projects best achieve a balanced set of transportation, environmental, and community access improvements.
