Please join us on Monday, February 24 at 5:15pm at the Mt. Lassen Theatre or remotely on our new YouTube page to learn more about the Chester Main Street Community Connectivity Plan (CCP). We will hear from Jim Graham, Executive Director of Plumas County Transportation Commission on this project that is scheduled to begin in 2026. 

The Chester Main Street Community Connectivity Plan will provide a roadmap to fund and implement transportation infrastructure improvements along the Main Street corridor through the community of Chester. This Plan was initiated by Plumas County Transportation Commission (PCTC) and is funded by Caltrans’ Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program, specifically the Sustainable Communities Grant (SCG). 

The Plan has examined existing limitations to the highway’s function as a vibrant Main Street and make recommendations to reconfigure the roadway to better utilize the existing right-of-way for pedestrian and bicycle facilities, transit stops, and public spaces for community activity. The goal of this plan is to develop a corridor improvement concept to better fit the needs of the community while working with Caltrans to develop a fundable and implementable plan. Consistent with Caltrans’ planning guidance, this Plan uses Complete Streets design elements to provide safer and more comfortable mobility options for people of all ages and abilities.
