$250K Caltrans grant to address pedestrian safety on Highway 9
We're getting 2019 kicked off right for Highway 9.
In late December, the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) announced it has received $250,000 in grant money from Caltrans for pedestrian safety projects on Highway 9 in the San Lorenzo Valley. Crosswalks will be improved at the highway's intersections with Redwood Drive (Felton), midblock between Graham Hill Road and Kirby Street (Felton), Clear Creek Road (Brookdale), and at Forest Street and Pool Drive (Boulder Creek.) Improvements will vary by site to include installation of high-visibility striping and signage, advance warning flashing beacons, and rectangular rapid flash beacons.

The RTC will host two meetings to receive public input on the draft Highway 9/San Lorenzo Valley Complete Streets Corridor Plan, which will provide a vision, guiding principles and strategies for improving circulation in and around the Highway 9 corridor. Please join us at one or both of the following meetings:
