It's a good thing that the speed limit was lowered from 40 to 35 starting at Palisade up to Rodman. I've already noticed a big difference in the slower traffic flow. But, that 40 mph sign at the MDO signage just past Rodman needs to be 35 as well in both directions. Why on earth wasn't the speed limit lowered all the way to MDO? It's a narrow winding road with no room on either side for bikes or people and is extremely dangerous to navigate.

Drivers speeding through town rarely stop or even slow down for pedestrians in crosswalk regardless of flashing crossing lights. There are near misses on a daily basis and have witnessed close calls with children, moms with strollers, bike riders, families and individuals including myself. Speed needs to be lowered through town and on El Camino Real before the bend coming in from Atascadero.

This section is outrageously dangerous for cyclists. The speeds of cars are well over 65 and there is little room for bicycles. And certainly not for walking! The 55 mph is a joke. Very few people follow it.

We have hundreds of new homes going in as part of the Santa Margarita ranch development, but no handle on traffic or issues along El Camino Real. These homes mean increased use and traffic.
We also need walking trails. Safe walking. So we don't have to get in the car and drive to somewhere and walk.

Coming into town from the outskirts there is a hill right before a crosswalk to an elementary school. It's a blind spot. Also people are speeding here. A stop sign, some speed bumps, something to slow traffic and get peoples attention.

Two speed cameras one in each direction on El Camino Real would pay for itself in a week.
We cannot get any patrolling here so this is the best and most efficient option. No more human hours needed or officers. Set these up and 90% of the traffic problems will cease.Liked 2 times -
The speeding through town is epidemic. There is no enforcement of the speed limits through town, and also there is an inconsistency of speeds, it should all be under 35mph. There are residences all along El Camino Real through town and everyone walks here. The crosswalks are dangerous. The trucks are big and speeding. Very few follow existing speed limits. One constant patrol car here or a speed monitor giving online tickets would solve the problem 100%

The crosswalk at El Camino and Encina in Margarita needs improvement. I have seen (and experienced) several near hits there as people driving El Camino from Atascadero are going 55 (or faster) and when they get to Margarita, where the speed limit drops to 35 they do not slow down and frequently speed through the crosswalk, even when yellow lights are flashing and people are trying to cross the street. Starting the 35 mph speed limit prior to entering town could be one solution.

Negotiate with SP to allow some parking right here at the entrance of the campground and a day use area where people can park, unpack, and WALK to the beach. When the beach will be vehicles-free, parking will be essential. You better believe that it will happen sooner or later. So, start planning for it NOW, so that you don't have to redo Pier Ave. again in a few years.

We need a pedestrian crossing with a traffic light somewhere. I am not sure where the best place would be. Maybe here.

We need bicycles racks all along Pier Ave but especially here by the beach to encourage people NOT to drive to the beach.

Pier Ave is the downtown of Oceano Beach. It should have a plaza at the end of it, with benches, picnic tables, a look out deck, some ADA parking, and bicycles racks. Pier should be only one way in towards the plaza and one way out to maximize space and reduce speed. No vehicles should be allowed to drive or park on the beach. Pier should be a complete street with sidewalks and bike lanes on both directions, and diagonal parking in the middle.

Your introduction to this survey contains a false statement: "Pier Avenue is a small stretch of roadway less than half a mile long, but it serves as a vital connection to the Oceano Dunes State Recreation Area... " In fact, State Parks is using Pier Avenue as an access to the ODSVRA unlawfully. Please delete it.

Recently a pedestrian was killed crossing El Camino Real, a situation made possible by the wide, high-speed design of the road. El Camino Real within the Atascadero city limits should be revitalized with traffic calming measures and multi-modal improvements. With 100' of ROW, there are huge opportunities to expand pedestrian and transit spaces while leaving room for cars. Attached is just one possible design for a revitalized transit corridor.

Please extend Rosina through the field so it connects to the Library/community center. This will eliminate biking and Pedestrian traffic on this busy section of road.

From Palisades down to Monarch Grove there should be a center turn lane AND a reasonable bike path. When residents are stopped to turn left it creates an unsafe situation.

Underground overhead electrical and telecommunication lines. Consider this as a "scenic" road. Yes it will be expensive and take a long time to get it done so start planning now.

Plan to make bike paths totally separated from roadway. Our culture does not work well when mixing cars travelling at higher speeds and bikes.

This PG&E hi-voltage electrical transmission tower will be a problem with the road is ever widen in this direction. It would take many years to move this tower, just be aware.

An equestrian crossing light is needed here so horses and pedestrians can cross safely. Problems are 3 way stop, blind curve, excessive speeds.

County needs to reduce the number of vehicles allowed on the beach. This will reduce traffic problems, congestion, pollution.

To reduce traffic and congestion have the county designate Pier as Exit Only from Oceano beach. Relieve traffic and congestion.
