| |
| | | | | | | | | SUMMARY: | | The goal of the State Route 156/Castroville Blvd Interchange project is to improve safe travel, local circulation, and reduce congestion by replacing the existing signalized intersection with a new interchange. This new interchange is the first of three segments of the full SR156 West Corridor project to enhance the State Route 156 corridor between Castroville and Prunedale, one of the most heavily traveled corridors in Monterey County. |

| | | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT: | | There is no financial impact to the TAMC budget associated with this item. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION: | | The SR 156 Castroville Interchange Project provides a unique opportunity to connect bike riders from Castroville Boulevard across Highway 156 towards Blackie Road. It also links Castroville Boulevard to the recently completed bike bridge over the rail line to the heart of Castroville. The presentation will familiarize Committee members with the interchange project. |
