US 101/Woodside Interchange Improvement Project <br />ATTACHMENT A: PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED <br /> <br />As stated in the Project Report (Dec 2016), the purpose of the Project is to: <br />• Alleviate peak-period congestion at the US 101/Woodside Road interchange. <br />• Improve traffic operations within the Project limits at the local street intersections of Woodside <br />Road with Veterans Boulevard, Broadway, Bay Road, and Seaport Boulevard/Blomquist <br />Street/East Bayshore Road. <br />• Improve bicycle and pedestrian access across US 101 within the Project limits. <br /> <br />The US 101/Woodside Road interchange is at the junction of several closely spaced street and ramp <br />intersections where drivers experience peak-period delays. Congestion on the local streets and <br />interchange ramps causes backups for vehicles entering the Project area from and to US 101. The <br />interchange also lacks sufficient opportunities for bicycle and pedestrian access across US 101 and <br />Woodside Road. The interchange is near San Francisco Bay, UPRR tracks, a Pacific Gas and Electric <br />Company (PG&E) substation, and established land uses, which have all presented limitations to the <br />development of transportation improvements in the interchange area. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
