GRANDE SELECTING ALTERNATIVE 4C WITH PHASING DEFERRAL
AND/OR REMOVAL OF SOUND WALLS AND HIGHWAY 101/EAST
GRAND AVENUE SOUTHBOUND RAMP ALIGNMENT PROJECT
COMPONENTS AS THE LOCALLY PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE FOR
THE PROPOSED BRISCO ROAD/HALCYON ROAD INTERCHANGE
MODIFICATIONS PROJECT
WHEREAS, the Brisco Road/Halcyon Road Interchange Modifications Project is
identified in the City's 2001 General Plan and the General Plan EIR identified deficiencies
and forecasted impacts from regional growth that "Even with no additional area
development, Brisco and Halcyon Roads and El Camino Real segments and intersections
will continue to experience external trip increases despite these circulation deficiencies"
and that regarding El Camino Real and Brisco/Halcyon road, "Traffic generation and
mitigation is the single most apparent significant impact issue"; and
WHEREAS, the construction of improvements is a critical component for the long term
economic sustainability of the City as the Brisco Road/Halcyon Road Interchange is
located at the City's center and allows access to the regional shopping center, the San
Luis Obispo County Regional Center, and vacant and under-utilized parcels identified for
economic development by the City; and
WHEREAS, Alternative 4Cā Roundabout has been determined to provide critical access
to both sides of Highway 101 and relieves congestion at the Brisco Road undercrossing,
and vastly improves local circulation and traffic operations; and
WHEREAS, Alternative 4C ā Roundabout has been determined to include project
components that may be deferred or removed including the soundwalls and the Highway
101/East Grand Avenue Southbound Ramp alignment, and it has been determined that
it is favorable to phase these project components at this time to reduce project costs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Arroyo
Grande hereby selects Alternative 4C ā Roundabout as described below as the locally
preferred alternative for the proposed Brisco Road/Halcyon Road Interchange
Modifications Project:
Alternative 4C proposes closure of the US 101 northbound on- and off-ramps at
Brisco Road and construction of new northbound ramps and an adjacent
intersection at West Branch Street across from Rodeo Drive. This intersection
would include a single-lane roundabout, as described in Section 5B and
Attachment C of the Draft Project Report.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council will phase/defer the soundwalls and
Highway 101/East Grand Avenue southbound on ramp alignment.
