While much of the work on the Kings Beach Commercial Core Improvement Project has stopped for the season, some may continue.

Based on weather, there is a chance AT&T this season may complete the last utility relocation at the intersection of highways 28 and  267.

With the recent precipitation, crews have been out monitoring the stormwater treatment system to verify it is doing what it is intended to do. Drainage patterns are also being observed to locate areas of adverse ponding or flooding.

Other improvements anticipated to be completed in the coming weeks are the installation of handrails at the entrance to several businesses between Bear Street and Coon Street.

Placer County is hiring a snow removal contractor to clear a 5-foot wide path along portions of the project where the new sidewalks have been built. Brook and Minnow parking lots will continue to be cleared.

Gateway to the Core is the second phase of improvements which are planned along Highway 28 and in the grid. This second phase of work will provide pedestrian, water quality, and aesthetic improvements on both ends of Kings Beach’s commercial corridor. Bids will be advertised in fall 2015, with construction expected to begin the next spring.
