Just a few years ago the speed limit on Vineyard Drive was 50 mph. Then, we got a minor concession from the county traffic engineers and they lowered it to 45 mph. Vineyard Drive is a RESIDENTIAL AREA! There are homes, schools, churches, bike and walking paths, and many intersecting side streets and driveways all along the Vineyard corridor. Lower the speed limit to 35 mph! Dropping the speed limit from 45 to 35 on Vineyard only adds 23 secs of driving time from Bethel Road to Highway 101.

What if a traffic light was set to only work as a light during peak hours, school times, and it was set as a stop sign the remainder of the time?

This area has very limited pedestrian access. Sidewalks along Main Street connecting to vineyard would allow students a safe way to walk to school.

The oleanders on Vineyard westbound side east of Santa Rita Road need to be cut back to the property owner's fence. Even though some trimming had been done in 2022, there is still an impaired sight line when turning left onto Vineyard from southbound Santa Rita.
As well the intersection could stand to be widened. It is a tight right turn onto Santa Rita from westbound Vineyard. Many drivers hit the raised curb a few feet in from the corner. Perhaps develop more of a turn lane.Liked 0 times -
Lengthen right turn lane on Vineyard east for vehicles turning onto Main toward THS

Auxiliary lane on Hwy101S connecting Las Tablas and Vineyard. The current plan suggests a frontage road, but it is not economically feasible because of the cost to cross Toad Creek.

Probably outside the scope of this project but is it possible to extend Bennett Way or Rossi or Main Street so they would connect from Las Tablas to Atascadero. I would be happy to avoid the Vineyard 101 interchange.

agree 100%. Bus schedules would ease traffic tremendously!

Why the hell did anyone allow Trader Joes into this peaceful little community??? Because of money. Thats why. This ridiculous shopping mall off vineyard is a disaster and sad degradation to our community. The commercial aspect that was allowed into templeton has ruined my peace. It is a nightmare to go into that part of vineyard because nobody coming onto vineyard from TJs stops at the stop. The number of near misses just trying to go into templeton downtown is too numerous to count. WTF

My lively neighbor has become a danger zone when it comes to driving onto vineyard road. The intersection at santa Rita is a disaster waiting to happen. Coming from santa Rita on the south of vineyard and attempting a right turn is taking. Your life and your families life into your own hands daily. Forget ever even trying going. Straight or , heaven forbid, making a left to go to the coast. This corridor is actually the 45 mile an hour access to the freeway. We who live here are screwed!!!

Living off of Bennett Way and trying to access the south 101 entrance is a nightmare and a severe safety hazard. Nobody stops at the actual stop line on Rossi, as drivers have to inch out to Vineyard to see the oncoming traffic. A driver attempting to access south 101 has to be aware of both left and right-hand turning vehicles who are now blocking the access to the 101 south on-ramp. Additional development in this area will only exacerbate the safety of drivers.

Lower the speed limit to 30.

Bring back the bus service from Vineyard elementary. That would knock out the traffic jams every morning and evening when families have to drop off or pick up thier children. This would also address the issue of people cutting through the vineyard development to avoid the traffic on Vineyard drive.

Lower the speed limit. Many cars stop at bethel and vineyard and then floor it to 50 mph daily.

A traffic circle will make walking across vineyard very dangerous. Put in crosswalks and lower the speed limit to 30.

Traffic circle will only encourage more people to speed when picking up or dropping off their children at school. The speed limit needs to be 30 on Vineyard drive.

The speed limit should be 30mph on vineyard from Main Street stop light to hwy 46

a 4 way stop at Santa Rita, like there is now at S. Bethel, would slow down and make safer Vineyard.

2 lanes for cars is fine, but widening for bikes/pedestrians would be good

many bikes use Vineyard, esp going over to Santa Rita Creek (old Cayucos rd). There should be clear and safe passage for them, and for pedestrians.

since traffic circles keep cars moving, pedestrian crossing is dangerous.

Bennett Way needs speed limit signs on both sides of the street. Walking/jogging/ bike riding on this street can be dangerous. Accessing Vineyard at certain times of the day can be frustrating due to traffic. Live off of Bennett and could not see how any further development in this corridor is possible with the current traffic issues at Vineyard/101/Rossi.

Please decrease the speed limit. I read through many comments and most people are concerned about safety and are bringing up lights. In some of the intersections we need people to stop, but to help safety over all we need people to drive more slowly in this area. It may have originally been countryside and large country properties, but at this point it is a busy road with a lot of traffic that is required to be used to go to school. It just doesnt make sense anymore to keep the speed so high.

I like both of those ideas except for that I see no way of the separate bridal trail happening without taking land as Im not sure if theres enough space. Our property is on Vineyard so it would affect us should property need to be taken/bought/etc. Aside from not wanting to lose land, I have a well established hedge which would have to be removed that is a home to many wild animals. This hedge is also a helpful sound barrier. Losing it would suck. Incorporate the existing plants if possible.
