Why Measure D Won’t Reduce Congestion on Hwy 1
-
An auxiliary lane is not a through lane. The lane ends at the next offramp.
Auxiliary
Measure D would build auxiliary lanes between Soquel Ave and State Park Dr. This is a subset of a much larger project that the Regional Transportation Commission considers unaffordable over the next twenty years. The larger project also includes rebuilding six bridges, ramp metering, and auxiliary lanes to Freedom Blvd. In an environmental review costing our County $13 million, Caltrans concluded that the larger project “would result in very slight improvement in traffic congestion.” So there are no grounds to believe that the smaller project funded by Measure D would have any significant impact on congestion. -
We believe taxpayer dollars should be spent on wellresearched projects that will address the traffic breakdown on Highway 1 as well as mobility within our communities.
Measure D Misses the Bus
Measure D would have been an ideal opportunity to adequately fund METRO. Instead leaders cut bus service 12%.
