Interchange flip flop?
Manteca may proceed with McKinley/120 design
Placeholder Image
The McKinley Avenue interchange at the 120 Bypass is back on the radar.Just a month after voting to tell the federal government thanks but no thanks for $2.8 million to proceed with design work for the interchange, the Manteca City Council could possibly change its collective mind.Mayor Willie Weatherford is asking the council Tuesday to reconsider its actions of Oct. 18 to reject a no-cost cooperative agreement with Caltrans to provide oversight and independent quality assurance for design work that would be done by Rajappan & Meyer Consulting. That vote was expected to set in motion the return of $2.8 million in federal funds to Uncle Sam that Richard Pombo helped obtain in 2005 when he was still in Congress. The action would also have eliminated the need for the consultant’s services.
