LAKE COUNTY — A memorandum between the Lake Transit Authority and the County of Lake authorizes Lake County to perform construction management and inspection services for the installation of bus shelters and related bus stop improvements.
“We are taking powers that have been delegated to us and delegating some of them back,” Transit Manager Mark Wall said during Wednesday”s meeting of the Lake Transit Authority. According to Wall, county government would be responsible for transportation if it had not delegated that responsibility to the LTA.
Wall said he will be working with Carl Webb and the Clearlake Rotary Club to install some of the shelters, which are presently being housed by the Konocti Unified School District.
Some of the stops where shelters will be installed during the first phase of improvements include 5255 Old Highway 53 near Mendo Mill, 7145 Old Highway 53 across from the Clearlake Apartments, Old Highway 53 near Clearlake Community School, the southeast corner of Old Highway 53 at Austin near the Clearlake Commons Apartments, an additional shelter at Dam Road extension near Ray”s Food Place and Walmart, the northwest corner of Highway 20 and Fifth Street in Lucerne, midblock on the west side of Lakeshore Drive near the Clearlake Veterans” Clinic, 628 Highway 20 on the northwest corner near Tower Mart in Lucerne and the southeast corner of Highway 20 and Ninth Street near Lucerne Park according to a bus stop projects financial status spreadsheet.
