Santa Cruz Route 1 CAPM

proposed

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to rehabilitate 8.3 lane miles of flexible Class 2 pavement using Capital Preventive Maintenance strategies. Capital Preventative Maintenance strategies include but are not limited to digouts (repair of more distressed areas of pavement through partial depth replacement), profile grinding, cold planing 0.15 foot of pavement, and placing 0.15 foot of Rubberized Hot Mix Asphalt overlay. The anticipated design life of the new pavement is 10 years. The roadway would be re-striped upon completion. The existing dike would be removed and replaced, and shoulder backing would be placed to manage erosion and weathering at the edge of the pavement. The project also proposes to remove nonstandard guardrails and install the Midwest Guardrail System with appropriate end treatments. Embankments would be modified as necessary to reflect the changes to the Midwest Guardrail System and terminal end features. Additionally, the project would replace 16 large signs and 14 small signs, upgrade 51 Americans with Disabilities Act curb ramps and replace 40, replace 0.10 lane mile of Class 2 bike lanes (from post mile 18.15 to post mile 18.25), add guide striping and signage for pedestrians and cyclists, and enhance the visibility of 40 crosswalks at 18 intersections. The project would create two new bus stops (on the northbound and southbound sides) at the intersection of State Route 1 and Western Drive. Ten bike box delineations would also be added at six intersections, and five pedestrian islands would be enhanced at three intersections.
