Title

Talmage Road/Southbound U.S. 101 On-Off Ramps Realignment Project

Description

The original project described in the DEIR was termed the "Loop Design," which involved removing the southbound off-ramp, widening the existing loop underneath the overpass and installing a traffic signal where the loop intersects with Talmage Road. However, the City Council approved the environmentally superior design favored by the Caltrans (Alterantive 2 in the EIR) that retains the southbound Highway 101 off-ramp to westbound Talmage Road. It would be widened to include two right-turn lanes as it approaches the Talmage Road intersection. This southbound off-ramp intersection with westbound Talmage Road would be signalized and realigned to the west to increase sight distance. The southbound Highway 101 off-ramp to eastbound Talmage Road would be realigned slightly controlling right turns if queues begin accumulating on either southbound off-ramps or along the left-turn lane onto the southbound Highway 101 on-ramp. Two dedicated left-turn lanes from Talmage Road to Airport Park Boulevard would also be provided.
