Pacific Coast Highway/2nd Street Improvement Project

Pacific Coast Highway/2nd Street Improvement Project

The proposed project would involve improvements to the intersection at PCH and 2nd Street to eliminate a narrowing of the roadway at the intersection and provide a consistent right of way roadway width north of 2nd Street. On the north leg of the intersection, the project would widen PCH by 18.851 feet (5.746 meters) for approx. 400 feet to add an additional southbound left turn lane and a Caltrans standard shoulder allowing right turns. With these additions, the full lane configuration would provide three northbound through lanes, a painted median, two southbound left turn lanes, three southbound through lanes and a standard shoulder. The striping on the north leg would join existing striping at the south leg of the intersection, and match the north leg striping. No new construction would occur on the south leg. To accommodate the proposed intersection improvements a narrow strip of new right of way from two private parcels (APN's 7242-021-002 and 7242-021-003) would be acquired through negotiated agreement or, upon determination of the governing body, eminent domain. The additional right of way currently consists of irrigated landscaping, sidewalks, and a portion of an existing parking lot. There will be no loss of parking since the parking lot would be restriped to provide the same number of parking spaces (26 spaces) that currently exist.
