Local Project Listing (2017)

The SR 89 Mousehole Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvement Project constructed a 12-foot wide, 120 foot long pedestrian and bicycle tunnel 22 feet under the Union Pacific Railway. Prior to the project, pedestrians or bicyclists wishing to cross under the railroad were required to use the 24-foot wide vehicle tunnel, sharing traffic with vehicular traffic and large trucks. The project also constructed Class I bike/pedestrian paths that connect to paths to the north and south, a transit shelter, and several drainage improvements. Project Benefits: • Improves safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. • Provides a bicycle and pedestrian facility along SR 89, connecting Lake Tahoe and Truckee, and Interstate 80. • Reduces congestion and greenhouse gases by promoting non-motorized travel. • Encourages a healthy, active lifestyle by providing recreational facilities. Project Innovation: The railway that travels over the project area is a major east west route and the project construction could

The City of Palo Alto’s 199 mile street network includes 131 miles of residential streets, 37 miles of collector streets and 31 miles of arterial streets. By 2010, Palo Alto’s average rating for streets was 73 and the Council appointed Infrastructure Blue Ribbon Commission (IBRC) determined that nearly 20% of Palo Alto’s streets were rated under 60. IBRC recommended that no Palo Alto streets have a PCI rating below 60 and City Council established a goal of achieving an average citywide PCI of 85 by 2021. Since 2009, Palo Alto’s PCI score has increased from 72 to 83 (December 2016) and we expect to reach a citywide average of 85 by 2019. Annual funding has increased from $1.7M to $6M for street maintenance since FY 2011 in an effort to accelerate the program. Palo Alto has been successful in leveraging grant, gas tax and vehicle registration funding to boost the

The $72 million La Pata Avenue Extension Project greatly improves regional mobility in South Orange County by extending La Pata Avenue approximately two miles through the Prima Deschecha Landfill from the Cities of San Juan Capistrano to San Clemente. The extension provides a new direct connection to retail centers, medical facilities, schools, recreational opportunities, emergency evacuation routes, residential communities, the landfill and more. The project accomplishes the following: (1) widens La Pata Avenue from three to five lanes from south of SR-74 in the County of Orange to the existing road terminus at the County’s Prima Deshecha Landfill; (2) implements a gap closure by constructing four new lanes from the existing terminus to the intersection of Calle Saluda and Avenida La Pata in the City of San Clemente; and (3) extends Camino Del Rio as a four lane roadway from its existing terminus in the Forster Ranch community to the
