VIDEO. From the Midcoast Community Council (MCC) meeting on Wednesday, June 14th, 2023 at 7:00pm, as a hybrid meeting.
6/14/23
To: Midcoast Community Council
From: Montara resident
“I recommend that the MCC become familiar with and provide input to the multi-agency study: “Moss Beach State Route 1 Congestion & Safety Improvements Project”. Here’s a link to the project on the San Mateo County website: https://www.smcgov.org/planning/moss-beach-sr-1. This project (study) is funded and is currently in the “Project Initiation” phase (began in Sept 2022, expected to conclude Nov 2023). The agencies conducting the project (study) are The County of San Mateo and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority (TA), in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
From the project webpage: “The goal of this project is to improve traffic flow and safety within the project area, which includes three major intersections: SR-1/16th Street, SR-1/California Avenue, and SR-1/Cypress Avenue. Improvements for the intersections and surrounding project area may include roundabouts, signals, dedicated turn lanes, high-visibility crosswalks, pedestrian walkways, bus stop enhancements, and bike lanes.”
In regards to the current “Moss Beach SR-1 Congestion & Safety Improvements Project”: I’d like the MCC to request that a feasibility study regarding a pedestrian tunnel underpass across State Route 1 (SR-1) in Moss Beach be included in the scope of the study.
The “Connect the Coastside: the San Mateo County Midcoast Comprehensive Transportation Management Plan”, adopted April 2022, has recommendation No. Pe1: New and Improved Crossings of Highways 1 and 92 : “Improve existing and add new pedestrian crossings on Highways 1 and 92 including marked crossings with flashing beacons, overcrossing of Highway 1 / south of Carlos St, and improve Highway 1 / Coronado St.” The Connect the Coastside process never addressed the issue of a Moss Beach underpass in any detail, only by a very general response to public comment.”
Could there be an underpass at Furtado, as well?!
