Morro Bay Pavement Project

proposed

The project would: Grind and overlay pavement on lanes and shoulders on State Route 1 within the project limits. Replace existing traffic stripes, pavement markings, and rumble strips in kind. Replace 12 light poles. Replace conduits for light poles if they are no longer usable. Add four new light poles to have two light poles per exit ramp, as is recommended per Caltrans' Roadway Lighting Manual. This is dependent on funding becoming available. Replace 17 sign panels and posts. Replace about 3,900 linear feet of guardrail with the Midwest Guardrail System and conduct vegetation control. Replace about 12,000 linear feet of thrie-beam median barrier. Convert part of the thrie-beam median barrier to a median concrete barrier. Install concrete barrier transitions where guardrail ends at bridge rails. Remove and replace existing dikes and overside drains. Conduct light grading and place shoulder backing in the Morro Bay Dog Beach parking lot. Place shoulder backing. Replace any Transportation Management System loops and signal loops damaged by pavement grinding. Replace 17 curb ramps, modify one curb ramp, and install one new curb ramp (for a total of 19 curb ramps). Add six additional curb ramps through a cooperative agreement with the city of Morro Bay. Install accessible pedestrian signals with speakers. Two will be installed at the intersection of State Route 1 and San Jacinto Street, and four will be installed at the intersection of State Route 1 and Yerba Buena Street. Upgrade sidewalks under the Main Street Undercrossing and the State Route 1/State Route 41 (Atascadero Road) Undercrossing from asphalt to concrete. Upgrade the sidewalk at the southeast corner of San Jacinto Street and State Route 1. Conduct minor roadway widening and relocate traffic signals at three signalized intersections to add bike lanes between through lanes and right-turn pockets. Install lighting to illuminate undercrossings with pedestrian infrastructure. Install bike parking facilities at the intersections of State Route 1/Hill Plant Road and State Route 1/Toro Creek Road. Extend node four of culvert system 49-001-02-03112 about 8 feet (16 linear feet due to the culvert system having two pipes) and remove and relocate the headwall in order to widen the roadway to place a bike lane at the signalized intersection of State Route 1 and San Jacinto Street. The slope of concrete ditches may be adjusted. Replace the right-of-way fencing in kind (6-foot chain link fence). Other types of fencing may be proposed and would need to obtain approval from maintenance. This fencing replacement is dependent on funding becoming available.
