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
Utica Park
Utica Park has several projects that are currently underway. Please click HERE for more detailed information, schedules, and how you can be a part of its new legacy.
Concept Design
The concept design was developed in 2019 with extensive outreach across all ages and needs and was included with the grant application for the Rural Recreation and Tourism Grant. Being a concept design means that as constraints are identified, some structures may be moved to accommodate site and budget issues.
Wayfinding Signs
Visitors need directions to find our businesses and to ensure they don’t just drive right through our charming City! The Wayfinding sign project will help with that. This project is a coordinated project between the County of Calaveras and the City of Angels, with the County taking the lead.
Currently, the County is awaiting approval from Caltrans on one last design document and they should be putting this out to bid sometime in September/October 2023.
This is a County Wide project being organized by the County of Calaveras. To see the sign website, please refer here.
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 (fall 2023) and we will be working through Right of Way and then on to construction in the 2024/25 fiscal year.
MACT Museum
The M.A.C.T. Health Board is building a two-story administrative and cultural building with an outdoor cultural park including a roundhouse, bark houses, public restrooms, parking, and bus parking. Click here for more information.
Habitat for Humanity – Eureka Oaks
The largest workforce housing development the City has seen is about to break ground. This would include 107 homes and range in size (up to 1,436 square feet). The units will be either two, three, or four bedrooms and will be under a homeowners association.
The units will be energy efficient and easy to maintain. Income requirements will be up to $104,650 for a family of four, and the future homeowners must commit to contributing up to 500 “sweat equity ” hours. Mortgages will be no more than 30% of their gross monthly household income.
For more information, be sure to visit here. Continue to check back for progress and next steps for this development.
East Trunk/Vallecito Rd Sewer Phase 1
This project will mitigate future hazards, in addition, to upsizing and rehabilitating the City’s trunk sewer and trunk mains. Slated to be completed 2023.
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.
