"Pacifica Planning Commission unanimously adopted a resolution Monday determining the city's 2015-2020 Capital Improvement Program is consistent with the general plan, with the exception of one project -- the highway widening project. For that one, they requested planning staff provide historical information and information about a CEQA lawsuit brought by the local grassroots organization, Pacificans for a Scenic Coast against Caltrans.
.... As the general plan calls for no increase in highway capacity, Public Works Director Van Ocampo told the commissioners he is describing the Calera Creek Parkway project as one that doesn't increase capacity. 'It increases capacity at that location, but not for all of Highway 1', Ocampo said." Read article.

The Council is insulated from a H1 decision by creating a anti-highway Planning Commission that will eliminate it from the General Plan. Brilliant!
So when asked if the highway widening project increases capacity (not allowed under the General Plan), Van Ocampo says, presumably with a straight face, "It increases capacity at that location, but not all of highway one."
A true statement and yet....
LMAO. Those rascally rascals. A bureaucratic solution from a council that loves bureaucracy. I think this is a very talented, very bright PC. They will do their job.
932 What's wrong with you? This is the "new" PC appointed by the "new" council. Regime change, remember? Just a few years ago.
My idea for Highway 1 is this:
From the tunnel to 280.
Make the bus stops on ramps and off ramps. Put a shoulder on both sides. Fix the manor over pass.Get rid of the light at Vallemar and try to wrap traffic behind the gorilla bbq. Buy the old Bubble Machine Chevron station empty lot. Wrap traffic over towards the waste water treatment plant and dump it over into Vallemar.
Van Ocampo isn't an engineer people, his degree is in something completely different.
649 Is that going to look like one of those gigantic corkscrew water slides?
Because I'm all in if it is.
I watched the PC to see who was new. I don't know who Cooper is but I've got a sack of hammers with more brains. And Vaterlaus makes no effort to even examine the issues. Gordon in his heart of hearts favors the widening, but the lawyer in him knows that he is bound by the general plan - so he is trying to find an out in the meaning of words - kind of like Clinton parsing "is" to prove he didn't have sex. If Gordon feels good about basing his vote on that then he certainly will have reached up to Clintonian hypocracy standards. We shall judge him accordingly.
I think Van is sweet on CalTrans. Perfectly natural.
1156, with regard to language intent of the 1980 General Plan, Jeff Cooper clearly stated he favored "flexibility and solutions" (allegedly leading to the studied and funded Highway 1 widening). Sue Vaterlaus stated she favored the same "Calera Creek project (Highway 1 widening). John Nibbelin said "findings of the Superior Court are relevant" (favoring Caltrans Highway 1 widening project, awaiting the Judge's final decision).
Chuck Evans recognizes that traffic is bogged-down, namely "between 7:30 am - 8:30 am", but questioned whether widening the highway "meets the standards of the General Plan", (a 35+ year old document).
Josh Gordon, Richard Campbell and Mike Brown meet the criteria you ascribed to that once, very public, then President Bill Clinton scandal.
The Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget, consistent with the General Plan, was passed by the Planning Commission (7-0), minus the Highway 1 widening funding of $6,000. The Highway 1 widening issue will be continued following follow-up document information from Staff.
It was John Nibbelin who suggested handling the Highway 1 widening funding issue prior to the final city council fiscal year 2015-16 budget meeting, 6/6/15. He is one very smart, savvy (possibly brilliant), pragmatic and efficient "hammer", a keeper.
They had the perfect opportunity to move it forward and they didn't. It's anybody's game.
Pacifica is the only beach town on the west coast that doesn't take advantage of being a beach tow.
The only town that people keep junk worth 100 dollars in the garage and a new car outside in the driveway.
