The City of Angels has projects constantly occurring throughout the City. Through the coordinated efforts of City Staff, the Calaveras County Council of Governments, Caltrans, CalOES, FEMA, Housing and Development, Calaveras Foundation, and so many others, the City is striving to make intelligent choices for our residents and visitors.
Projects
Angels Creek Trail
The City of Angels 2020 General Plan defines the Angels Creek Master Plan and Trail project. Conservation and Open Space Implementation Program 4.D.c “Draft a Creek Corridor Preservation & Management Plan for Angels Creek” called for “a trail along the creek through the city limits (with potential future links to trails extending along the creek beyond the city limits).”
The proposed trail extends from the Highway 4 Bypass in the north to New Melones Reservoir in the South, approximately 5.1 miles in length. The proposed trail is broken into three phases prioritizing construction. The three phases are North, Central, and South. The phases are further divided into preferred and alternate alignments.
The Environmental and Cultural are complete (Spring 2024) and we will be working through Right of Way and then on to construction in the 2025/26 fiscal year. The environmental document is complete. The City has applied for an Active Transportation Plan (December 2026 decision) to begin Phase 1 Construction.

Highway 4 and 49 Mobility Improvement Project
Caltrans proposes to make intersection, roadway, pedestrian, and bicycle improvements and modify the intersection of State Route (SR-) 49 and SR-4 with either a roundabout or signalized intersection. The project would also improve the intersection of SR-49 and Francis Street with either a roundabout or a signalized intersection.

Caltrans Complete Streets
Not to be confused with the Mobility Project, this project ties into the Mobility project with regards to the sidewalks and bike lanes. This project is going to add sidewalks and bike lanes from the SR 4/49 section to Utica Park! Elements of this project include landscaping (think trees and bushes along the highway), stamped concrete, lighting, and additional pedestrian crossings.
Caltrans will maintain the landscaping for three years following the initial planting. The stamped concrete will match the color selection from the Downtown Main Street plan (taupe/cream). The crossing section will include brown cast metal to align with our historic look.
