Town Hall Forum for South State Route 99

More than 200 south Stockton residents participated in the Caltrans-sponsored  State Route 99 widening forum April 16, reviewing three possible designs for the Crosstown Freeway to Arch Road highway widening project.

Residents studied magnified maps of three different designs and were asked to comment, either in writing or to a court reporter who was available to document community concerns. Staffers from Caltrans and its partners in the project, SJCOG, the city of Stockton and San Joaquin County, were on hand to answer questions about the project’s local impact and to describe the process for the widening.

A decision is expected to be made on the design in May with environmental review completed by December, 2008. Construction should begin in June, 2012. This project will widen SR 99 from a four- to a six-lane freeway from just north of Arch Road to south of the Highway 4 Crosstown Freeway. Interchanges will be rebuilt and there may be modification of some local roads and connectors to the interchanges. The project is planned to ease congestion, improve mobility and decrease commute times for drivers.

The total cost for this project is estimated at $253 million, with the funding coming from the state’s Proposition 1B Highway 99 Bond Funds, the countywide Measure K sales tax and federal sources.
