••• Caltrans is trying to do something about Highway 101 congestion in Pismo Beach:
Caltrans District 5 in cooperation with the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) is now accepting public comments on the proposed US 101 Pismo Congestion Relief Project. This project would create a part-time travel lane on southbound US Highway 101 from north of Avila Beach Drive to just south of Hinds Avenue. This new lane would be constructed along the existing left shoulder near the center median and would be open daily during periods of heavy afternoon traffic as well as for special events. This project also proposes to add a new Park and Ride lot in Pismo Beach.
A virtual Public Meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 20 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm via Zoom. [More info here.] Public comments can be emailed to [email protected] by Tuesday, Nov. 17.
