What is the protect?
The City of Chico and Butte County are hosting a second public information workshop to discuss the proposed SR 99
/Southgate Avenue Interchange and Corridor Study Project Study Report (PSR) Project. The purpose of this project is to
identify and evaluate alternative designs that would meet the design year requirements of an interchange and corridor
improvements that should move into a Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA & ED) phase. This PSR
would be used as a Plan Line Study to set the footprint for the interchange and corridor to allow the City to provide
proposed development with the Right of Way requirements. The corridor limits are Southgate Avenue west of SR 99 to
Midway and east of SR 99 to Skyway.
What improvements are being considered?
Preliminary studies are being reviewed for the following improvements:
• Interchange options at SR99/Southgate Lane
• Alignment options for a new connection west of SR99 to Midway
• Alignment options for anew connection east of SR99 to Skyway
• Alignment options for a frontage road connection from Southgate Lane to Entler Drive
What has been done so far?
The first public workshop was held in November of 2008, and a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) comprised of a
select group of County, City, and Caltrans officials along with area businesses and residents has met several times to
discuss the project impacts. Following the initial workshop, the proposed roadway alignments were reviewed to address
public comments. Additionally,the Draft Traffic Report has been submitted for review, and preliminary project costs have
been identified. A draft Project Study Report is anticipated to be completed in mid April 2009.
What is the workshop obiective?
The meeting's objective is to review updates to the proposed improvements, share results of recent TAC meetings, review
project costs and impacts, and to solicit input from the public on the study approach, proposed alignments, and any other
area of concern. The public will be given the opportunity to ask questions and provide comments on the proposed project.
A brief presentation is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. The format will be informal.
