Transportation Department July 18 2024 Letter to Carson Crossing residents

July 30, 2024 in El Dorado County Transportation

County Transportation Department Director Martinez shares letter concerning Carson Crossing Drive area issues with EDH APAC.

El Dorado County Director of Transportation Rafael Martinez provided EDH APAC a copy of a letter to El Dorado Hills residents addressing concerns about traffic and development issues near Carson Crossing Drive.

In his letter Director Martinez identified six areas that the Transportation Department is exploring, based on concerns expressed by El Dorado Hills residents.

Analyzing Speed Surveys, Setting Speed Limits, and Stop Signs
Enhanced Signage and Road Markings
Pedestrian Crosswalks and Signals
Traffic Enforcement
Community Engagement and Education
Implementation of Roundabouts

Director Martinez addresses the difficulty of restricting truck traffic on Carson Crossing Drive due to ongoing construction projects in the area (both in the adjacent El Dorado Hills Business Park, and the ongoing construction of the residential Lennar Heritage developments).

EDH APAC appreciates the ongoing dialog of the Transportation Department with El Dorado Hills residents. Since El Dorado Hills is the largest community in the County, and is the source of the majority of new development, residents frequently forget that the Transportation Department has obligations that extend to all areas of the County, and many of those other County Communities lack development funding to provide road capacity improvements, and like El Dorado Hills, the funding required for ongoing road maintenance. EDH APAC welcomes community participations as we address transportation and circulation issues in our Communities.
