As the City press release below explains, a routine CalTrans Hwy 1 paving project was affected by several accidents and presumably finished late. The resulting backup was several miles long and lasted past 9PM.
CalTrans apparently did not notify the City work was to be done.
Since
Pacifica BACPAC is involved in policy issues in town, we ask
both legislative members to sponsor legislation to require CalTrans to
consult with, and give advanced warning to, any locality where CalTrans
work will occur.
Additionally,
we ask you both to facilitate the expected CalTrans-Pacifica meeting to
review the details of the Highway 1 Improvement project delay and move
forward with an immediate solution.
As
you know, Highway 1 is a critical regional state highway. Hwy 1 is the only
way in and out of town for 50% of Pacifica residents and a large portion
of the south coast-side.
Hwy
1
is the lifeline for our tourism business, commuters, and emergency
vehicles. This particular stretch of road has been a historic
bottleneck that is currently being planned for widening. Any
uncoordinated road work only makes the
situation worse.
Thank you

What took ya so long? Anyone not see this letter coming?
Thank you Jim.
Hahahaha, Mike, you crack me up, hahaha... ahhhhhh
Trump fired his strategist, didn't he?
It's interesting to note that the request for notice of work is on the agenda tonite. Glad someone out their is paying attention rather than making inane comments on this blog.
Glad I could humor you Todd.
Probably nothing in this town has ever hit an agenda faster. Council was dissed and pissed! And tonight, an army of outraged Pacificans, a few mind-bending excuses, and some amazing connect-the-dot work. You think CalTrans will send an emissary?
If Caltrans does send someone I want to know who he or she angered in a previous life to get the assignment
