Description:

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), in cooperation with the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (SCCRTC) and the County of Santa Cruz, proposes to widen State Route (SR) 1 to include auxiliary lanes, accommodate bus-on-shoulder (BOS) operations between the Freedom Boulevard and State Park Drive interchanges, and construct Coastal Rail Trail Segment 12. One build alternative and the no-build alternative are proposed for further consideration. The project is located in Santa Cruz County on SR 1 from post mile (PM) 8.1, south of Freedom Boulevard, to PM 10.7, north of State Park Drive, with 1.14 miles of trail along the SCCRTCowned Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line (SCBRL) between State Park Drive and Rio Del Mar Boulevard. The total length of the project on SR 1 is 2.6 miles, and on the SCBRL is 1.14 miles. Within the limits of the proposed project, SR 1 is a controlled access freeway with two 12-foot lanes; shoulder width varies within project limits. The average width of the inside shoulders is approximately 5 feet, and the average width of the outside shoulders is approximately 10 feet.  Within the project area, the existing railroad right-of-way is generally in the range of 40 to 55 feet wide, with the existing railroad tracks generally in the center of the right-of-way. The existing railroad has at-grade crossings at State Park Drive, Aptos Creek Road, and Trout Gulch Road, with bridges over SR 1 at two locations, Soquel Drive, Aptos Creek and Valencia Creek, and crosses under Rio Del Mar Boulevard. The SCBRL is currently an active freight railroad. The project vicinity and location are shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively. Figure 3 shows the project components.
