ANOTHER MAJOR MILESTONE! On October 14, after years of planning, study and significant public outreach, the JPA Board of Directors approved the proposed general alignment for the 35-mile Capital SouthEast Connector. This follows board action in August certifying the programmatic environmental impact report (PEIR), another milestone that was years in the making. A significant next step involves each member agency’s legislative body approving the portion of the general alignment that runs through its jurisdiction. Those meetings are slated to start in October.
