The letter is merely lawyer talk. The real action will be when the final EIR is issued and answers are generated to all the comments. Then Bohner can sue. <br />The truth of the matter is all Bohner's questions have been addressed in the in the draft eir. It's a lot of reading but the bottom line is Rt. 1 is a regional arterial, the only way out of town for south Pacifica and used by at least 18,000 Pacifica residents including, yes, Bohner and Loeb....<br /><br />http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist4/documents/route_1_calera_parkway/calera_pkwy_deir_ea110801combined.pdf<br /><br />go to page 45 of document (if you have an Adobe toolbar at bottom of doc with a counter, its doc page 100 after all initial tables and summaries) . CalTrans and trans authority already looked into this.<br />See Section 2.1.2.2 <br />Regional Transportation Plan<br />The project is listed in, and therefore consistent with, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's Transportation 2035, which is the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). It is also included in the adopted 2009 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the San Francisco Bay Area.<br />City of Pacifica Local Coastal Land Use Plan<br />The project is consistent with the City of Pacifica Local Coastal Land Use Plan, which states that highway improvements should also increase the safety of existing intersections along SR 1, including access to the quarry (opposite Reina Del Mar Avenue) and Rockaway Beach Avenue. It also states that SR 1 should be considered a multi-modal travel corridor and pedestrian, bicycle, bus transit, and emergency vehicle access should be included in any planned improvements.<br />Chapter 2<br />Affected Environment, Environmental Consequences & Avoidance,<br />Minimization, and/or Mitigation Measures<br />State Route 1/Calera Parkway Draft EIR/EA<br />Widening Project in Pacifica 46 August 2011<br />Rockaway Beach Redevelopment Plan<br />The project is consistent with the Redevelopment Plan for the Rockaway Beach Project Area, which calls for construction of right-of-way, intersection, and traffic control improvements to enhance vehicular and pedestrian circulation on Highway (SR) 1.<br />Pacifica Bicycle Plan<br />The project is consistent with the Pacifica Bicycle Plan, because the existing two-way bicycle/pedestrian path adjacent to the west edge of the highway north of Reina Del Mar Avenue would be reconstructed along the west edge of the widened highway and upgraded to a Class 1 bike path. Bicycle/pedestrian access between Reina Del Mar Avenue and Rockaway Beach Avenue is served by an alternate Class I trail that leaves the highway at the main quarry road and extends in a curving route south to Pacifica State Beach. The existing two-way bicycle/pedestrian path west of the existing highway south of Rockaway Beach would not be altered by the highway widening.<br />Pacifica General Plan<br />The project is also consistent with the general plan of the City of Pacifica, which identifies SR 1 as a major transportation facility. The <br />Pacifica General Plan contains a number of policies that are relevant to the proposed project: Circulation Element Policy #4: Provide access which is safe and consistent with the level of development. <br />The project is consistent with this policy since it proposes access and safety improvements to accommodate existing and projected traffic volumes.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-49897324790337588522013-06-08T14:43:58.427-07:002013-06-08T14:43:58.427-07:00Kathy, unsure of the quote "We should do noth...Kathy, unsure of the quote "We should do nothing" that is noted in regard to the comment from anonymous 12pm. Don't see that quote anywhere in the comment. <br /><br />The comment mentions timing lights and possibly less obtrusive projects than widening the highway. Driving Highway 1 many times a week, and rarely experiencing a traffic delay, hard to say this will save so many people so much time. How about everyone allowing a little extra time to get to where they need to go, pulling over to the side if / when there are emergency vehicles needing to get by, and enjoying what we have in this wonderful city by the sea? Cost? lots less than highway widening. Benefit? less stress and enjoyment of the scenery, priceless! Clean air... yes, love it, and we have some of the best air quality in the area here in Pacifica. Regardless, even better than speeding through Pacifica is carpooling or driving an energy efficient vehicle. Really, there ARE other solutions than highway widening.
