Expressway Plan 2040 Fact Sheet

Expressway Plan 2040
Fact Sheet
Expressway Plan 2040 is the successor to the 2003 Comprehensive County Expressway Planning Study and 2008
Update. The 2003 Study developed and documented consensus for capacity and operational enhancements,
pedestrian and bicycle facilities, sound walls, and landscaping. The Study also addressed maintenance and
operational needs. In 2008, the Santa Teresa Boulevard-Hale Avenue corridor in South County was added to
the Study.
Expressway Plan 2040 takes a fresh look at the needs of the expressways and the Santa Teresa/Hale Corridor
based on city land use plans, projected 2040 traffic growth, and Complete Streets planning. Expressway Plan
2040 will also identify new challenges and positive developments or opportunities, recommend any necessary
policy changes, and revise funding requirements and implementation strategies.
