The Jan. 19 Zoom meeting of Councilmembers was packed with information on priority items presented by City Manager Lorenzo Hines and a study session on the Carillion corridor revamp plans.
Both the public and the City Council rejected the two conceptual plans on the Carillion revamp when first introduced in 2018. The city was granted $600,000 from the California Energy Commission in 2017 to develop plans to reduce greenhouse emissions and promote safety along the Carillion corridor.
Alternative 1 presented to council in 2020 had 11 roundabouts and reduced lanes from four to just two. Alternative 2 called for traffic lights at each intersection. Both were rejected last November.
