Further, the Board of Supervisors extends an invitation to the members of the California Transportation Commission (CTC)to travel along the I-80 corridor in West Contra Costa County to better visualize the need for immediate landscape mitigation measures in order to prevent the continuing defacement of the soundwalls and to erase the war-zone appearance in the San Pablo/Richmond portion of the project. Background: The highway planting project along I-80 was scheduled for construction by Caltrans in FY 95-96 but funding has been deferred by the California Transportation Commission (CTC). Landscaping is an integral part of the I-80 HOV/Reconstruction Project and as such should go forward as planned and as promised to the effected communities.
