Valley Center Road Corridor Concept Plan
The Valley Center Road Corridor Concept Plan (VCRCCP) is comprehensive plan for Valley Center Road and associated right-of-way, in the area of the General Plan Villages of Valley Center, from the Woods Valley Road intersection to the Cole Grade Road intersection. The VCRCCP addresses safety and overall operations from all road user perspectives and entails requirements for many types of public and privately initiated projects along the corridor.
