Mulholland Road thoroughfare classification
Summary
A Twin Rivers resident asked the commission to remove the neighborhood portion of Mulholland Road from the thoroughfare map, since the Gamble Creek Bridge was removed and the road now only serves the neighborhood. Staff said SB 250/SB 180 currently prohibits downgrading roadways, but a future board-directed amendment is possible.
