Pedestrians should be able to cross on both sides of the street here. Other safety measures should be put in place to protect pedestrians. The street design here is such that the City of San Mateo’s new rules for reduced speeds near schools won’t apply because the road is designed for higher vehicle speeds. Changes should be made so that in both design and in law, there can be reduced vehicle speeds here.

Along ECR in downtown San Mateo from Tilton Ave to 9th Ave:
1. Automatic ped (bike) crosswalk recall
2. Minimize ped/bike conflict with turning (L & R) vehicles thru separate signals
3. Longer leading pedestrian intervals
4. Longer pedestrian cycle lengths since near schools, senior facilities, medical facilities, library and park.
5. Road Diet to address high vehicle speeds and volumes on the corridor
6. Lane-width reduction
7. Expanded sidewalks
8. Curb extensions
9. Parking-buffered bike lane on each side of the road
10. Bicycle facilities
11. Landscaping additions
12. Stormwater treatments
13. Wider tree-lined median
14. Pedestrian refuge islands
15. Pedestrian-scale street lighting
16. Yellow high-visibility continental crosswalks at schools, senior facilities, medical facilities, library and park.
17. Consolidated transit boarding islands and where cycle tracks exist, new cycle track curb cuts would be installed, with the cycle tracks running behind the transit boarding islands. This provides a safe and separated operation between transit vehicle loading, bicycles, and pedestrians at the transit stop.
18. Bus Rapid Transit corridor
19. Signal timing changes (transit signal prioritization to minimize red-light stoppage time, possible queue-jump lane at 2nd Avenue)See:

The current Peninsula Ave overpass of Hwy 101 is dangerous and uncomfortable for walking or biking, so I must drive my family the one mile to Coyote Point and the regional amenities that are walled off from active transportation. The City should do a quick-build fix since it'll be years before the US 101/Peninsula Avenue Interchange Project is complete. A fix can be adding wood planks or other material to widen the sidewalk to create a 10' Class IV bikeway with protective barriers.

There should be a dedicated bike lane on the west side of highway 1 from the ritz to downtown half moon bay. There’s a bike path that ends near Cameron’s at wave crest Blvd. it needs to be extended for safety so the southern part of the community can get downtown safely by bicycle.

Replyessential maybe but bicyclists need to adhere to the rules.Too many breeze through red light, utilize sidewalks and quite often are rude when anything is pointed out to them

It is extremely dangerous to cross at this intersection at Terrace Ave and Hwy 1 in HMB. There is no light, and traffic is moving at high speed at all times. There is no sidewalk or other way to get into Half Moon Bay without endangering your life if on bike or foot.

ReplyPlus, that is where the northbound traffic on Hwy One narrows from two lanes down to one.

I have heard of plans for yet another traffic signal but this will simply cause more bunching
of traffic which is why l already refuse to drive to shop in HMB. It’s easier to get to the
Linda Mar Shopping Center from the MidCoast because of all the traffic lights in the city limits. -
Road is collapsing here. Temporary road closure signs for months. If the road looks this bad I can help but wonder what the sewage and gas lines conditions are under here. Seems like a neigborhood disaster waiting to happen

Enforcement of traffic violations inside the tunnel needs to be done. People often use the shoulder lane or the approach shoulder to pass inside the tunnel at unsafe speeds.

ReplyAgree! The tunnel is a blessing, but there are often out-of-the-area, impatient drivers in a hurry to get somewhere while they endanger others. The non-driving lane needs yellow striping to denote that it is NOT a passing lane!

There needs to be a better parking solution for Montara state beach. The parking lot was paved and striped to hold less cars than when it was dirt. This lot needs to be bigger and parking on HWY 1 needs to be restricted and enforced. Busy weekends here cause unnecessary traffic back ups with peds crossing HWY 1 and cars backing out of spots on the dirt shoulder

Airport street needs a protected bike path. Many people (mostly service workers and residents who live in the trailer park) commute via bicycle on this road often at night with no lights to their jobs in Moss Beach. There are no street lights and this roasd can be very dangerous for cyclists during the day and evening hours

ReplyAirport Street in Moss Beach needs Street Lighting. (Big Wave LLC should pay for it as it will benefit their trips generated by the Office Park that is now going in. There have been several fatalities on this roadway since the Mid-1980’s to present.

But put the plan away in a drawer and never funded it. Now, they want to
shoe-horn in a 71 Unit Cypress Point affordable housing project in Moss Beach,
but the safety improvements on HWY One have never been funded,
despite the decades long “Connect the Coastside” Comprehensive Traffic Management Plan
that was completed during COVID.The HWY1 corridor between El Granada and Moss Beach is dangerous for bicyclists and pedestrians. Providing a direct and safe path for bike and foot traffic between El Granada would allow everyone without a car to move between these communities (children, carless adults, e-bikes). This would reduce traffic, reduce risk, allow locals to connect even during high-traffic weekends & events, and connect our communities.

No paved or protected safe bike passage from Montara to Moss Beach. This is a dangerous corridor where cars speed well over posted limits at all hours of the day while local traffic attempts to make left turns across HWY 1. Very narrow shoulder where much debris from winter storm landslides is still blocking access to shoulder.

ReplySince CalTrans closed their Coastside Corporation Yard (HMB) the January 2023 Storm debris has still never been cleared from the Gwy One Shoulders and there not even any place to pull over along Devil’s Slide because of fallen branches, bark strips, rocks and mudslide debris, even tree trunks.

On Highway 1 heading south, between Linda Mar Blvd and the Tom Lantos Tunnel, there is almost no shoulder space for bicyclists and the road is winding. Many weekend tourists drive this stretch of HWY 1 and are not expecting to find bicyclists in the vehicle lane as they navigate the curves of the road. This feels very unsafe.

ReplyThe Highway One roadway will be a choke-point between Linda Mar and the tunnel in an Emergency Evacuation like we have seen in Paradise Ca and Lahaina, on Maui. Residents fleeing the MidCoast will be trapped with no breakdown lanes, or even a sufficient bike lane.

Moonridge Apartment residents do not have a safe route into town or to schools. We need a separated bike/ped pathway on the east side of Hwy 1. It would be ideal to connect the trail to Cunha Intermediate School. Also need a bike/ped pathway along Miramontes Point Rd. back to Moonridge Apartments.

ReplyMidPen Housing should contribute to bike pathways, since the City of HMB is “broke”, and the County ignores the needs of the unincorporated residents.

There are currently no sidewalks between 92 and Kelly Ave. along Highway 1. Many people, including many schoolchildren, are forced to walk on the side of Highway 1. It is not safe. We need a sidewalk on the west side, and a separated multi-use pathway on the east side.
