Mary McClain figures something needs to be done about the vegetation along Highway 174.
McClain has praised the abatement of hazardous vegetation along roadways that serve as evacuation routes. However, she’s concerned over what she sees as no plan for Highway 174.
“I’ve called Caltrans, and they can only clear 8 to 10 feet along the roads,” she said. “There’s thick vegetation along Highway 174 and Silver Way, and I don’t think the abatement is adequate.”
McClain’s initiative began in 2019 when she addressed the Board of Supervisors in a meeting. Rich Adams, a forester with the California State Parks Sierra District, as well as a representative of the California Department of Parks and Recreation, soon got involved.
