Next Steps

Project Need & ObjectivesHow we got to this point

Project Need

– Lack of aesthetic benefits– Regional Traffic Congestion– Constraints at intersections

– Lack of connectivity– Lack of low stress routing options– Lack of public transit lanes

Project Objectives

– Reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by encouraging transportation mode shift

– Improve access to businesses along SR 29

– Improve accessibility for all modes of transportation

– Improve mobility for all users

– Improve safety for all users through Vision Zero

– Eliminate overhead utility poles

– Improve corridor aesthetics

Process & Timeline

‒ SR 29 Gateway Corridor Improvement Plan (2014)‒ SR 29 Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan (CMCP, 2020)‒ Broadway Specific PlanProject Identification

and Development

‒ Technical Studies‒ Alternative Development‒ Draft Project Study Report (PSR)‒ Final PSR

Project Initiation Phase We are here!

– Assembly Bill (AB) 32 | Mandated reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

– Executive Order (EO) S-20-06 | Directed State Agencies to implement the California Global Warming Solutions Act

– Senate Bill (SB) 375 | Reduce GHG through planning process

– Caltrans DP – 30/Other Various Policies | Caltrans internal policies to incorporate climate change into all Caltrans project

– AB 1358 | Circulation element of local government general plan must accommodate all users

– Caltrans Deputy Directive (DD) 64-R1 | Caltrans Complete Streets Policy – roads for all ages and abilities

– SB 743 | Reduction in Vehicle Miles Traveled

– Caltrans DD-R2 | Refinement of DD 64-R1

Changing Policy Parameters

l GHD[Footer text]

– SB 1 | $54 billion over ten years for roads, but cannot be used for capacity expansion projects

– EO N-19-19 | Directs CalSTA to leverage discretionary state transportation funds to reduce transportation-related GHG emissions and adapt to climate change

– EO N-79-20 | Reaffirms commitment to EO N-19-19 and sets a target date of July 15, 2021 for CalSTA to "identify near term actions, and investment strategies, to improve clean transportation, sustainable freight and transit options, while continuing a 'fix-it-first' approach to our transportation system."

– Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure (CAPTI) | Recently adopted investment strategy for achieving state goals related to transportation, climate change, and equity, which deprioritizes projects that increase VMT

Changing Funding Policy Parameters

Design ConsiderationsA deeper look at the alternatives

Balancing impacts to community‒ Access‒ Accommodate all users‒ Aesthetics‒ Impacts to right of way/private property‒ Safety‒ Transit

Balancing technical/legal requirements‒ Cost/funding requirements‒ Design requirements‒ Reduce vehicle miles traveled‒ Technical feasibility

Alternative Evaluation requires Balancing Priorities

AlternativesA look at the 3 alternatives

Alternative 1 –Multimodal improvements– Maintain SR 29 at 4 lanes, reducing lane widths to 11 feet– Separated sidewalk/bikeway in both directions. – Construct paved median– Widen shoulders to 12’ to allow for part time bus on shoulder– Reconfigure and improve intersections along the corridor– Construct pedestrian undercrossing

Alternative 2 –Multimodal improvements with roundabouts– Maintain SR 29 at 4 lanes, reducing lane widths to 11 feet– Separated sidewalk/bikeway in both directions. – Construct paved median– Widen shoulders to 12’ to allow for part time bus on shoulder– Construct 6 roundabouts– Construct pedestrian undercrossing

Notes:1. Roundabout lane configuration is 2 x 1 2. Roundabout lane configuration is 3 x 1.

Alternative 3 –Multimodal improvements with lane additions– Widen SR 29 to 6 lanes, with left and right turn pockets– Separated sidewalk/bikeway in both directions. – Construct paved median– Widen shoulders to 12’ to allow for part time bus on shoulder– Construct pedestrian undercrossing
