The San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA), as the Implementing Agency, has prepared this Final Preliminary Planning Study (PPS) to evaluate the feasibility of projects and alternatives identified in the Highway 1 Safety and Mobility Improvement Study to relieve congestion, improve throughput, and enhance safety for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians along a 7-mile-stretch of Highway 1 in San Mateo County, CA. SMCTA has prepared this Final PPS in collaboration with the San Mateo County Department of Planning and Building (Sponsor). The projects covered by the Final PPS are located in unincorporated San Mateo County in the Midcoast area, which stretches from Devil’s Slide south to Mirada Road in Miramar, CA (see Attachment A). The types of improvements proposed for this section of Highway 1 include designated pedestrian crossings, left-turn lanes, acceleration lanes, and raised medians.

The improvements, from Mirada to Gray Whale Cove, were grouped as Mirada, Moss Beach, Montara and Gray Whale Cove (from south to north). Where data was available, cost estimates are included.
