NORTH COAST, Calif. – A final public meeting sharing the findings and climate change adaptation strategies for vulnerable state routes in Caltrans District 1 will be held on Thursday, Dec. 18, in Eureka and Webcast to designated locations in Mendocino and Lake counties.
The meeting will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. in the council chambers at the city of Eureka, 531 K St.
A live Webcast of the meeting will be viewable in Lake County at the Lake County Board Chambers, 255 N. Forbes St. in Lakeport, and in Mendocino County at the Mendocino County Administrative Center, Conference Room C, 501 Low Gap Road, Ukiah.
The meeting also will be broadcast on Access Humboldt and available for review a day after the meeting at https://archive.org/details/access_humboldt , under the title “Caltrans District 1 Climate Change Adaptation Project Findings.”
State routes in Lake, Mendocino, Del Norte and Humboldt County were the focus of this study, which considered the potential impacts of sea level rise, increased flooding and erosion, increased landslides, and increased wildfire as projected by current climate change modeling.
The study is one of 16 pilot studies across the U.S. being funded, in part, by the Federal Highway Administration.
The District 1 Climate Change Pilot Study is a joint project of the Caltrans District 1 and the Humboldt County Association of Governments, with the collaboration of the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission, Mendocino Council of Governments and the Lake County/City Area Planning Council.
The study is funded by the Federal Highway Administration and Caltrans.
