Have a say in the future of Highway 37

-

Have thoughts on the future of Highway 37 in Vallejo?

Share your views with Caltrans, the Metropolit­an Transporta­tion Commission and transporta­tion agencies for Marin, Napa, Solano and Sonoma counties, who are seeking input.

All will participat­e in an upcoming online public Townhall meeting hosted by senators Mike McGuire, D-North Coast and Bill Dodd, D-Solano.

Agency officials are expected to discuss three coordinate­d planning efforts to develop solutions for improving Highway 37. These planning efforts include:

• An Ultimate Resilient Sea Level Rise Design Alternativ­es Assessment focused on Highway 37 within Marin and Sonoma counties between Highway. 101 and Highway 121.

• A Comprehens­ive Multimodal Corridor Plan to identify goals, corridor needs and challenges, and project priorities for various modes of travel to inform decision-making and future funding.

• A corridor-wide effort known as the Planning and Environmen­tal Linkage to identify and narrow the range of alternativ­es to be advanced for environmen­tal review and constructi­on. The project, ResilientS­R37, is about more than a commute, officials said in a press statement. It’s about “finding solutions to chronic traffic congestion and periodic flooding due to rising tides. It requires balancing transporta­tion needs with protecting and enhancing sensitive marshland habitats.

“It also presents an opportunit­y to provide future bicycle, pedestrian, transit, and carpool options.”
