7. Identify the project's functional classification (if applicable) and if the project is on the
designated Federal Aid System:
Caltrans has designated Route 101 as a principal arterial and Route 101 is on the designated
Federal Aid System.
L. Priority Criteria - For Reeional Proiects OnlY. address the following priority criteria (See Attachment
A; additional supporting material is encouraged):
1. Describe how the project addresses a safety/security problem (15 Pis):
According to the 1994 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), Route 101 has the highest
existing and projected peak hour traffic volume in the county through the Five Cities and Avila
segments. The more congested Route 101 becomes and the more the areas continue to
grow on each side of Route 101, the more dangerous it becomes for vehicles trying to enter
from and exit to EI Campo Road. The Project Study Report will identify feasible alternatives
that will improve safety for vehicle access within the area.
SLOCOG
SHA/STP Applications
Page 4 of 4
2. Describe the demonstrated need for the project (15 Pis):
The existing configuration of Route 101 at EI Campo Road is an at-grade intersection. Route
101 is a freeway facility for most of its length through California. Therefore, drivers traveling
on Route 101 do not expect at-grade vehicle crossings, especially through urban areas. In
addition, Caltrans continues to eliminate traffic signals and at-grade crossings on Route 101,
so the likelihood of signalizing this intersection is next to impossible. These issues clearly
identify a need for the evaluation of altemative vehicle access in the area.
3. Describe how the project addresses a multimodal need (15 Pts):
The Project Study Report will study access improvements on Route 101 near EI Campo
Road. Any access improvement will be an enhancement for transit to service the growing
residential and commercial developments in this area. Access improvements identified in
the Project Study Report may also improve bicyclelpedestrian access across Route 101
connecting proposed commercial and residential uses.
4. Describe how the project mitigates a congestion/air quality problem (15 Pts):
Vehicles are currently forced to sit idle as they wait for a break in traffic to enter Route 101
from EI Campo Road. The longer a vehicle is running, idle time included, the more
emissions it produces. In addition, improved access would enhance the area for transit
service andlor bicycles and pedestrians. The Project Study Report will identify access
improvements which will keep traffic moving, instead of sitting idle, and will allow for
enhanced alternative transportation facilities.
5. Describe the cost effectiveness of the project (15 Pis):
The best time to prepare a Project Study Report is before development occurs. The cost to
design and build major improvements, such as an interchange, is a lot less expensive when
properly planned with development, as opposed to when the area is at build-out. As this
area continues to grow, the need for improved access will only increase. It is most cost
effective to plan for improvements now rather than when major right-of-way acquisition will
be required.
6. Describe how the project will provide an equitable distribution of funding (15 Pts):
Route 101 in the main artery for San Luis Obispo County, accommodating both commuter
and tourist traffic. Any safety andlor capacity improvement to Route 101 would benefit the
entire County of San Luis Obispo.
7. Describe what local funding contribution is being provided (Describe and differentiate
between in-kind services, staff time commitments, and local funding contributions):
Proposed funding:
Utility Users Tax
Regional SHA funds
$75,000
$75.000
$100,000
As part of the local funding contribution, the City of Arroyo Grande will provide contract
administration services.

Caltranshas designated Route 101 as a principal arterial and Route 101 is on the designated
Federal Aid System. The City's Circulation Element identifies Brisco Road as a Minor Arterial
Street.
L. Priority Criteria - For Reaional Proiects Onlv. address the following priority criteria (See Attachment
A; additional supporting material is encouraged):
1. Describe how the project addresses a safety/security problem (15 Pts):
According to the 1994 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), Route 101 has the highest
existing and projected peak hour traffic volume in the county through the Five Cities and Avila
segments. The existing interchange configuration of Route 101 at Brisco Road and Halcyon
Road is substandard. The more congested Route 101 becomes, the more dangerous it
becomes for vehicles using the existing interchange, especially when traffic is already
backing up onto Route 101 at the Halcyon Road off-ramp. The Project Study Report will
identify feasible improvements that will improve safety for vehicles using this interchange.
SLOCOG
SHA/STP Applications
Page 4 of 4
2. Describe the demonstrated need for the project (15 Pts):
The existing Route 101 interchange at Brisco Road and Halcyon Road already exceeds
acceptable capacity. When vehides exiting a freeway back up onto the freeway, there is no
question regarding the need for improvement. This issue alone cleariy identifies a need for
the evaluation of interchange improvements in the area. ..
3. Describe how the project addresses a multimodal need (15 Pts):
The Project Study Report will study interchange improvements on Route 101 at Brisco and
Halcyon Roads. Any interchange improvements will be an enhancement for transit to service
the growing residential and commercial developments in this area. Interchange
improvements identified in the Project Study Report may also improve bicyclelpedestrian
access across Route 101 connecting commercial and residential uses.
4. Describe how the project mitigates a congestion/air quality problem (15 Pts):
An improved interchange would enhance the area for transit service andlor bicycles and
pedestrians. The Project Study Report will identify interchange improvements which will
keep traffic moving, instead of sitting idle and producing excess emissions (e.g., Halcyon
Road off-ramp), and will allow for enhanced altemative transportation facilities.
5. Describe the cost effectiveness of the project (15 Pts):
The best time to prepare a Project Study Report is before development occurs. However,
the Brisco RoadlHalcyon Road interchange was constructed after much of the adjacent
development was already in place. As the Arroyo Grande, Oceano and Nipomo areas
continue to grow, the need for interchange improvements will only increase. There is no
more cost effective time to identify interchange improvements than the present. Delaying
improvements to the interchange can only result in an increase in costs as more
development occurs and major right-of-way acquisition may be required.
6. Describe how the project will provide an equitable distribution of funding (15 Pts):
Route 101 in the main artery for San Luis Obispo County, accommodating both commuter
and tourist traffic. Any safetyandlor capacity improvement to Route 101 would benefit the
entire County of San Luis Obispo. In addition, Halcyon Road is a major route for vehicles
from Arroyo Grande, Oceano and the Nipomo Mesa wanting to access Route 101.
7. Describe what local funding contribution is being provided (Describe and differentiate

Minor Arterial (16). Grand Avenue is on the designated Federal Aid System.
L. Priority Criteria - For Reaional Proiects Onlv. address the following priority criteria (See Attachment
A; additional supporting material is encouraged):
1. Describe how the project addresses a safety/security problem (15 Pfs):
The pavement on Grand Avenue between Elm Street and Halcyon Road is in very poor
condition. Vehicles using Grand Avenue slow down sporadically when the pavement
becomes extremely poor or maneuver to the left or right to avoid potholes, etc. This type of
driver behavior can become extremely dangerous, especially on such a high volume road.
2. Describe the demonstrated need for the project (15 Pts):
The pavement on Grand Avenue between Elm Street and Halcyon Road is in very poor
condition. The pavement is extremely deteriorated and passible only at reduced speeds with
considerable ride discomfort. Cracking and other defects affect over 75% of the roadway
surface. Extensive need of reconstruction is evident.
SLOCOG
SHA/STP Applications
Page 4 of 4
3. Describe how the project addresses a multimodal need (15 Pts):
Grand Avenue is the main arterial used by both the local (SCAT) and regional (CCAT) buses.
'Any roadway used for these purposes should be maintained in the best condition possible
to ensure a safe, efficient facility for the service.
4. Describe how the project mitigates a congestion/air quality problem (15 Pis):
The slowing down and speeding up of vehicles produces much more emissions than vehicles
traveling at constant speeds. The reconstruction of Grand Avenue will provide a smooth,
even surface and vehicles will no longer need to slow down or weave as stated under Item
NO.1 above.
5. Describe the cost effectiveness of the project (15 Pis):
The City's approach to the Grand Avenue, Elm Street to Halcyon Road, reconstruction
project is to perform all the necessary improvements (e.g., water, sewer, drainage and
pavement) at one time. This technique has proven to be extremely cost effective to a City
as there is only one cost for items such as traffic control and contract administration. In
addition, the pavement does not have to be reconstructed if the water and sewer services
are performed at a later time.
6. Describe how the project will provide an equitable distribution of funding (15 Pis):
Grand Avenue directly services the Cities of Arroyo Grande and Grover Beach, and the
communities of Oceano and the NipomolArroyo Grande Mesa. The City of Arroyo Grande

and safety reports."; Policy C: "Improve traffic capacities of streets."; Policy D: "Improve
traffic safetv."; Policy D: "Provide for truck .emeraencv vehicle and resort traffic.".
4. Describe this project's consistency with the Regional Transportation Plan:
SLOCOG 1994 Regional Transportation Plan, Chapter 5, OBJ1: "Determine existina and
proiected roadwav capacitv deficiencies throuah the vear 2013 for all State Highways and
maior reaional routes interconnectina communities. and determine their potential for beina
addressed throuah other measures. with capacity expansion as a last reoort."
5. . Ust expected date of local govemment board approval (must be approved by December 3,
1997):
September 23, 1997, andlor October 14, 1997.
6. Describe total time frame for project completion (If funds are expected to be expended
beyond 24 months of scheduled start explain):
Begin Design:
End Construction:
November 1997
March 1998
7. Identify the project's functiorial classification (if applicable) and if the project is on the
designated Federal Aid System:
The City's Circulation Element classifies Grand Avenue as a Major Arterial.
Caltrans Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) classifies Grand Avenue as a
Minor Arterial (16). Grand Avenue is on the designated Federal Aid System.
L. Priority Criteria - For Reoional Proiects Onlv address the following priority criteria (See Attachment
A; additional supporting material is encouraged):
1. Describe how the project addresses a safety/security problem (15 Pis):
Grand Avenue carries a high volume of traffic and intersections along Grand Avenue are
frequent sites of accidents. This project will identify the causes of these accidents and
recommendations for improvement. Current safety problems may also be related to present
on-street parking conditions and numerous ingress/egress points.
SLOCOG
SHA/STP Applications
Page 4 of 4
2. Describe the demonstrated need for the project (15 Pts):
Grand Avenue services the Cities of Arroyo Grande and Grover Beach, and the communities
of Oceano and the Nipomo/Arroyo Grande Mesa. As these areas continue to grow and
tourism increases, current problems being experienced on Grand Avenue (e.g., congestion,
accidents) will also increase. Current problems along Grand Avenue need to be identified
now so that future projects can be constructed and/or implemented in accordance with an
overall goal.
3. Describe how the project addresses a multimodal need (15 Pts):
Grand Avenue is the main arterial used by both the local (SCAT) and regional (CCA T) buses.
This project will help maintain Grand Avenue in such a manner as to ensure a'safe, efficient
facility for the service.
4. Describe how the project mitigates a congestion/airqua/ity problem (15 Pts):
Currently, vehicles traveling along the Grand.Avenue corridor are slowing down and
speeding up due to pavement conditions, or stopping and starting at each traffic signal due
to a non-coordinated signal phasing system. This type of vehicle movement produces much
more emissions than vehicles traveling at constant speeds. This project will identify ways
to move vehicles in a more even flow.
5. Describe the cost effectiveness of the project (15 Pts):
This project will present an overall plan for the Grand A venue corridor. These types of plans
have proven to be cost effective, especially in the development of improvement projects.
Improvement projects constructed or implemented in accordance with a plan, are rarely
required to be reconstructed due to piece meal changes in needs and/or goals.
6. Describe how the project will provide an equitable distribution of funding (15 Pts):
Grand Avenue directly services the Cities of Arroyo Grande and Grover Beach, and the
communities of Oceano and the Nipomo/Arroyo Grande Mesa. This project will not only
provide a plan for the City of Arroyo Grande, but the entire Five Cities area.
7. Describe what local funding contribution is being provided (Describe. and differentiate
between in-kind services, staff time commitments, and local funding contributions):
The City of Arroyo Grande will act as project manager for the study, coordinating with
SLOCOG, County and other Cities' staff. Arroyo Grande staff will prepare a request for
proposal, coordinate consultant selection, and provide overall project management of the
project.

'Funding Note: Phase 1- Huasna Road at Clarence Avenue is prop.osed to be widened at an estimated cost of $160,000. The
safest widening alternative consists of a sidewalk. a bicycle lane and some new roadway section. The
proportionate share of the cost for the new roadway section is estimated to be $80, BOO. As only the widening
costs directly related to the bicycle lane and the sidewalk are eligible for Proposition 116 funding, the Cirl is

SLOCOG
SHA/STP Applications
Page 4 of4
L. Priority Criteria - For Reaional Proiects Onlv. address the following priority criteria (See Attachment
A; additional supporting material is encouraged):
1. Describe how the project addresses a safety/security problem (15 Pts):
There are no bicycle or adequate sidewalk facilities on Huasna Road between East Branch
Street and the eastem City limits. In addition, there is no direct connection to Paulding
Middle School for students living south of Arroyo Grande Creek. This project would provide
bicycle lanes and routes, and a portion of sidewalk on Huasna Road to provide for safe
bicycle and pedestrian travel.
2. Describe the demonstrated need for the project (15 Pts):
Huasna Road is the only road that connects the City and County residents living east of East
Branch Street to Paulding Middle School. Students living in this area who bicycle to school
have no other routes available to them. Arroyo Grande, Oceano and Grover Beach students
living south of Arroyo Grande Creek have no direct connection to Pualding Middle School and
are forced to use East Branch Street which has no bicycle facilities.
3. Describe how the project addresses a multimodal need (15 Pts):
This project will provide safer facilities for at least three modes of transportation: bicycles,
pedestrians and vehicles.
4. Describe how the project mitigates a congestion/air quality problem (15 Pts):
Bicycle and pedestrian modes of travel produce no emissions. If adequate facilities are
provided, parents may be more apt to allow their children to bicycle and walk to school
instead of dropping them off by vehicle. This would lower existing vehicle emissions.
5. Describe the cost effectiveness of the project (15 Pts):
The City's approach to the Bicycle Project One project is to perform all the necessary
improvements (e.g., bicycle laneslpath, sidewalk, roadway widening) at one time. This
technique is extremely cost effective as there is only one cost for items such as design,
traffic control and contract administration.
6. Describe how the project will provide an equitable distribution of funding (15 Pts):
Paulding Middle School services students from the Cities of Arroyo Grande and Grover
Beach, Oceano and the County of San Luis Obispo. Any improvements for access to the
school will be a benefit to the entire Five Cities region.
7. Describe what local funding contribution is being provided (Describe and differentiate
between in-kind services, staff time commitments, and local funding contributions):
$222,760
$ 13,946
$126 300
$363,006
As part of the local funding contribution, the City of Arroyo Grande will provide in-house
services to include design & survey, contract administration and on-site inspection.

3. Describe this project's consistency with Local adopted plans:
Arroyo Grande Circulation Element (1988), Section III, Altemative Travel Modes: "The most
imoortant effort that could be undertaken to enhance biCYcle travel would be imoroved
maintenance and uoaradina of existina roads that are used reoulam bv bicvclists."; "The first
priority for bike routes is connections to schools, public and private."; "Prioritv three routes
are: ...Branch Mill Road...".
Arroyo Grande Circulation Element (1988), Section V, Goal :J. Policy A: "Provide for
adeauate and safe altemative access to schools. Darks and shocDina areas within the Citv.":
Policy C: "Provide and maintain adeauate shoulders of City stree:s where biCYcle traffic is
heavy and there are safety concems.".
4. Describe this project's consistency with the Regional Transporr=don Plan:
SLOCOG 1994 Regional Transportation Plan, Chapter 6, OBJ 1: .Create a reaianal bikewav
svstem to orovide far efficient and safe transoortation for biC'/c:e commuters."; OBJ 1, 1 a:
"Promote develooment of a coordinated and connected recienal bikeway system with
emohasis on Iinkina aaos on the reaional system where bikewavsdo not exist."; OBJ1, 1c:
"Pursue all available fundina altematives for the use or acauis~ion of riaht-of-wavs and
easement to be used for bikewavs.": OBJ2: "Provide safe travel fer both the commuter and
the recreational rider."; OBJ6: "Provide fundina to local iuristic:ions for biC'Vcle facilitv
imorovements and oroarams."
5. Ust expected date of local govemment board approval (must be =p.oroved by December 3.
1997):
September 23, 1997, andlor Oclober 14, 1997.
6. Oescribe total time frame for project completion (If funds arEi expected to be expended
beyond 24 months of scheduled start explain):
Begin Scoping I Preliminary Design I Right-of-Way issues:
End Construction:
August 1998
June 1999
7. Identify the project's functional classification (if applicable) =r;d if the project is on the
designated Federal Aid System: .
The City's Circulation Element classifies Branch Mill Road as a ~lIector Street..
L. Priority Criteria - For Reaional Proiects OnlY. address the following priority criteria (See Attachment
A; additional supporting material is encouraged):
1. Describe how the project addresses a safety/security problem 115 Pis):
There are no bicycle facilities on Branch Mill Road between Eas; Cherry Avenue and the
eastern City limits. However, Branch Mill Road is still being used by both commuter and
recreational bicyclists who are forced to share the travel lanes with vehicles. This project will
construct Class II bicycle lanes to provide a safe facility for both cicyclists and vehicles.

2. Describe the demonstrated need for the project (15 Pfs):
Branch Mill Road is the main road that connects the County residents living east of the City
and south of Arroyo Grande Creek to the City of Arroyo Grande and the rest of the Five Cities
area. There are currently no biCycle facilities available to these residents and to recreational
users who prefer to use bicycling as their mode of transportation.
3. Describe how the project addresses a multimodal need (15 Pfs):
This project will provide safer facilities for at least two modes of transportation: bicycles and
vehicles.
4. Describe how the project mitigates a congestion/air quality problem (15 Pfs):
Bicycle travel produces no emissions. In addition, if adequate facilities are provided,
residents and recreational users may be more apt to take a bicycle ride into the Village or out
into the countryside instead of going for a car ride. This would lower the amount of vehicle
emissions currently being experienced.
5. Describe the cost effectiveness of the project (15 Pfs):
The best time to widen any facility is before adjacent development occurs. The cost to
design and build improvements; such as bicycle lanes, is a lot less expensive when properly
planned with development, as opposed to when the area is at build-out. As this area
continues to grow, the need for safe bicycle access will only increase. It is most cost
effective to provide improvements now rather than when right-of-way acquisition may be
required.
6. Describe how the project will provide an equitable distribution of funding (15 Pfs):
Branch Mill Road services both the residents of the City of Arroyo Grande and the County
of San Luis Obispo. Any bicycle improvement that provides safe travel to and from the
CitylFive Cities area will be a benefit to the entire east Arroyo Grande/Huasna area.
7. Describe what local funding contribution is being provided (Describe and differentiate
between in-kind services, staff time commitments, and local funding contributions):
Regional SHA funds (proposed)
$136.500
$136,500
The City of Arroyo Grande will provide scoping, design, survey, contract administration and
on-site inspection services.
