Caltrans now is inviting the public to hear the findings of the RSA for State Route 84 in Niles Canyon on Monday, July 30 at 6:00 p.m. at Niles Elementary School. The RSA team evaluated State Route 84's current accident data, traffic patterns and driving behaviors to determine if safety improvements are needed. The team will present its findings and recommendations at the meeting. Additionally, a Value Analysis Team developed safety-solution concepts based on the recommendations of the RSA that take into consideration community and stakeholder feedback regarding environmental effects. Members of the Value Analysis Team will also report on their follow-up. Caltrans invites the public to hear the results of the RSA and the Value Analysis studies and to provide feedback on these two studies.
