ANIMAL CARE CENTER Cat adoption event to take place Friday By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter MINERAL The California De- partment of Transportation held an open house Tuesday for the public to answer questions on the upcoming State Route 36E Safety Project in the works. The project, which encom- passes a three-mile stretch near Mineral, is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2017 and be finished in the summer of 2018, said Design Project Engineer Mike Feakes. The state- and fed- erally-funded project will cost about $10 million. How an area qualifies to be- come a Caltrans safety proj- ect first involves accident data, which usually means a higher number of accidents than the state average has been noted. Caltrans then looks at the geo- metrics, or the shape of the high- way, to see where improvements can be made, Senior Environ- mental Planner Wes Stroud said. "Once we find an accident concentration, we need to fix it," Feakes said. "We're trying to get it cleaned up and make it a lit- tle more forgiving."
