4. Carlos Street, June 2026: Midcoast Mulitmodal Parallel Trail Gap Closure Project Feasibility Study
This Feasibility Study (Study) defines and evaluates the vision to improve bicycle and pedestrian mobility
and close the Trail gap in Moss Beach on Carlos Street. County staff pursued and were awarded support
through the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Active Transportation Technical Assistance
Program, funded through the OBAG 3 Program, for this Study. The goal of this Study is to identify
potential alternatives to be studied and carried forward into preliminary design and future project
development. This Study outlines potential benefits, challenges, and impacts of each alternative from a
technical perspective only and did not include stakeholder and community engagement, which will take
place in subsequent phases of work.
Fire Station 44 sits on Stetson Street, one street east of Carlos Street. At coordination meetings early in
this Study, staff from the Coastside Fire Protection District (CFPD) noted that their fire trucks use Carlos
Street from Sierra Street to SR 1 when responding to incidents north of the fire station. In addition, they
noted that the existing 16’ to 18’ paved roadway widths of Carlos Street were substandard. International
fire code dictates that the paved roadway width should be 20’ minimum. CFPD acknowledged that
pedestrian and bicycle improvements done outside of the roadway would be unlikely to trigger a
requirement to upgrade and expand the roadway width to meet the 20’ minimum requirement.
County of San Mateo Department of Public Works staff also acknowledged the existing sub-standard
roadway widths and expressed that the roadway should be widened to 20’ minimum if significant
improvements were to be undertaken in this area.
