Although the City has implemented traffic safety improvements along this corridor, such as a new traffic signal at Cleveland Street and a HAWK2 signal at Clinton Street, additional pedestrian and bicycle improvements are still needed. The Project is being coordinated with a scheduled roadway paving project along Jefferson Avenue. Combining these efforts reduces construction impacts on residents and commuters while making the most efficient use of City funding and infrastructure resources. In Fall 2024, the City initiated the Project, covering the corridor from El Camino Real to Farm Hill Boulevard. This Project supports the City Council’s Strategic Priority of Transportation to create and maintain a multimodal, safe, and accessible transportation network. Planned improvements include new bicycle facilities, pedestrian crossing enhancements, controlled crossings (new traffic signal or pedestrian hybrid beacon), Americans with Disability Act (ADA) curb ramps, and pavement overlay. To date, the City has developed design concepts, completed traffic studies, and conducted community outreach. The next steps include approval of a design alternative, completion of the final project design, and construction. The remaining project scope and construction management support is estimated at $8 million. In 2025, City received two grants for the project: MTC3’s Housing Incentive Pool Program (HIP): $1,011,000 San Mateo County Transportation Authority (TA): $500,000 This staff report summarizes the planning process for the Project and recommends a design option. City approval of a design alternative is needed to complete the final engineering design and move the Project toward construction in 2027. ANALYSIS The Project addresses mobility needs along the project corridor. The project corridor carries between 16,000 (in western segments) to 20,000 (in eastern segment) vehicles per day. The project’s design alternatives address community need for safer intersection crossings, bicycle access to major destinations, access to residential and business driveways along the corridor, and traffic queuing. The design process, detailed concept designs, traffic analysis results, and key community feedback issues are detailed in Attachment A. 2 High Intensity Activated Crosswalk 3 Metropolitan Transportation Commission 11.B. - Page 3 of 17 180
