Highway 65 Corridor Aesthetics Master Plan
Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA), along with the Cities of Lincoln, Rocklin, Roseville, County of Placer, United Auburn Indian Community, and Caltrans District 3, completed a corridor aesthetics master plan for Highway 65 from Interstate 80 to Lincoln Boulevard (start of the Lincoln Bypass).
The Highway 65 corridor aesthetics master plan is intended to provide guidance for individual projects along this 8-mile corridor to ensure aesthetic continuity. The improvements will be made over many years and will involve several agencies and public input. This document is intended to establish a general approach to the design of the corridor but also have flexibility to allow each community to express their identity when designing specific elements such as community identification signage and local roadway connections.
