SAN MATEO COUNTY PLANNING MULTI-MODAL TRAFFIC STUDY. From the Midcoast Community Council website.
Moss Beach SR-1 Corridor Study
The Moss Beach SR-1 Congestion and Safety Improvements Project is sponsored by SMC Planning Dept and funded by the County Transportation Authority (TA) with $1,145,000 in Measure W funds. The project is expected to begin in spring 2022.
Scope: Preparation of a Project Study Report-Project Development Support (PSR-PDS) to implement improvements on SR-1 in unincorporated Moss Beach from 16th St. to Cypress Ave. which may include: new controlled intersections (either single- or multi-lane roundabouts or traffic signals) at 16th St., California Ave., and Cypress Ave.; dedicated turn lanes; high-visibility crosswalks; new sidewalk on the west side of SR-1 from California Ave. to Cypress Ave.; bus stop improvements for SamTrans Route 17; Class 2 bike lanes; and Class 1 multi-use path on the east side of SR-1.
The PSR-PDS describes the transportation problem, identifies the scope of the viable alternatives, and provides an estimate of the project development support resources required for the specific project. The PSR-PDS provides an opportunity to consider alternatives and context-sensitive solutions that includes community engagement and balances needs of multiple transportation modes (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, and transit).
Benefit: The Project aims to improve traffic flow, increase intersection safety, and enhance operations for vehicular travel along and across SR-1. Additionally, multimodal improvements will encourage residents and visitors to walk, bike, and use transit. The Project will create multiple new opportunities for pedestrians and cyclists to cross SR-1 where only one marked crossing currently exists in a six-mile stretch of the unincorporated Midcoast area.
