County seeks grant for Hwy 1 improvements
On the Board of Supervisors' consent agenda 6/26/12 is a resolution in support of submittal of a grant application for $5million to San Mateo County Transportation Authority for projects on Highway 1 in the Midcoast. The grant would be used for designs and construction of raised medians, left-turn lanes and safe crossings that were identified in the Highway 1 Safety & Mobility Study.
UPDATE 6/28/12: The item was removed from consent for public comment asking for continued public input in final design stages and Supervisor Horsley voicing support for that. The final amount of the grant request was reduced to $1.5million, to cover preliminary planning, environmental reviews, and other costs up to but not including construction, which funds would be applied for later.
