Caltrans is proposing to construct the Traffic Operational Systems Improvement Project to improve day-to-day traffic management capabilities for Caltrans, cities, and first responders on State Route 1, between Half Moon Bay and Pacifica. Proposed improvements include:
Wireless Detection Systems sensors
Variable Message Signs, 5x12 ft -- Midcoast locations are along the airport: southbound at Coral Reef, and northbound at north end of Cabrillo Farms.
Maintenance Vehicle Pullouts (MVP)
Replace existing guardrails at project locations with the Midwest Guardrail System (current standard for safety).
Caltrans has prepared an environmental review document, Initial Study/Negative Declaration. Pages 7-14 show detail and images of Midcoast and Half Moon Bay locations. Written public comments may be submitted by the deadline, which has been extended through Oct 30, 2020. See meeting notice for more info and how to submit comment.

UPDATE: 8/26/20 meeting Video & minutes
The San Mateo County Department of Public Works encroachment permit to change the lanes on Hwy 1 at Mirada Rd, and add a K-rail barrier on the west side of Hwy 1 has been granted by Caltrans. This will separate pedestrian and bicycle traffic from motor vehicle traffic, for the duration of the detour due to the closure of the pedestrian bridge over Arroyo de en Medio.
The County is now working on a contractor and materials for the detour. They will start the work as soon as possible.
