Changes to the California Highway Website covering March - May 2024

[cahwyguy]

The second highway page update for 2024 is done. This took a bit longer, as I had a bunch of other stuff going on.

This update covers March, April, and May 2024. Before we dive into the updates to the California Highways site, an update on the California Highways: Route by Route podcast. As always, you can keep up with the show at the podcast’s forever home at https://www.caroutebyroute.org , the show’s page on Spotify for Podcasters, or you can subscribe through your favorite podcaster or via the RSS feeds (CARxR, Spotify for Podcasters) . The following episodes have been posted since the last update:

• March | CA RxR 2.10: Route 1: The Lost Coast (incl. Route 208 and Route 211). Episode 2.10 of California Highways: Route by Route completes our exploration of Route 1, as we discuss the “Lost Coast”. This area was originally part of the last segment of LRN 56, and was to be Route 1, but some reworking of the state system made the former lateral between Usal Road and US 101 (which in 1964 became Route 208) officially Route 1, and made the “Lost Coast” portion of the route Route 211. This episode explores the Lost Coast, including the history of Route 208 and Route 211. (Spotify for Podcasters)
• April | CA RxR 2.11: Route 2: In the Flatlands (Santa Monica and Los Angeles). Episode 2.11 of California Highways: Route by Route is the first of two episodes on Route 2. In this episode we explore the general history of all things Route 2: What was the second state route defined; what was legislative route (LRN) 2, what was Sign Route 2, and what is today’s Route 2. We focus on the flatland segment: From Santa Monica to the Glendale Freeway. We do a detailed exploration of the relationship of the Pacific Electric and Santa Monica Blvd; the history of Route 2 and US 66 — and the ever changing routing in Los Angeles and Santa Monica — and the whole story of the never-constructed Beverly Hills Freeway. (Spotify for Podcasters)
• May | CA RxR 2.12: Hills and Mountains (Glendale and Angeles National Forest). Episode 2.12 of California Highways: Route by Route is the second of two episodes on Route 2. In this episode, we complete our exploration of Route 2. This time, we focus on the segments in Glendale and through the Angeles National Forest, roughly from US 101 to Route 138. We talk about the pre-freeway routing, the history of the Glendale Freeway, the proposals for an Angeles Forest Freeway, and the history of Angeles Crest Highway. (Spotify for Podcasters)

Turning to the updates to the California Highways pages: Updates were made to the following highways, based on my reading of the (virtual) papers and my research for the podcast in March and April 2024 (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the “Observations Along The Road” and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum (Ꜳ). This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research^(ℱ), contributions of information or leads (via direct mail or ꜲRoads) from Tom Fearer⁽²⁾, Mike Palmer⁽³⁾, Plutonic Panda⁽⁴⁾, Vicky S⁽⁵⁾, Joel Windmiller⁽⁶⁾: Route 1^(ℱ), I-5^(ℱ,6,4), I-10^(ℱ,2), Route 22^(ℱ), Route 24^(ℱ), Route 25^(ℱ), Route 27^(ℱ), Route 35^(ℱ), Route 37^(ℱ), Route 39^(ℱ),, I-40^(ℱ), Route 43^(ℱ), Route 47^(ℱ), Route 49^(ℱ), Route 51⁽²⁾, Route 58^(ℱ,2), US 66^(ℱ), Route 71^(ℱ), Route 74^(ℱ), Route 78^(ℱ), Route 79^(ℱ), I-80^(ℱ,6), Route 86^(ℱ), Route 90^(ℱ), Route 91^(ℱ), Route 94^(ℱ), Route 99^(ℱ), Route 101^(ℱ,2), Route 102⁽⁶⁾, I-110^(ℱ,2), Route 116^(ℱ), Route 118^(ℱ), Route 121^(ℱ), Route 125^(ℱ), Route 130⁽⁵⁾, Route 131^(ℱ), Route 150^(ℱ), Route 156^(ℱ), Route 168⁽²⁾, Route 178⁽²⁾, LRN 182^(ℱ), Route 203⁽²⁾, Route 204^(ℱ,3), Route 211^(ℱ), Route 234⁽²⁾, Route 255^(ℱ), Route 299^(ℱ), US 395^(ℱ), US 466⁽²⁾, I-580^(ℱ), I-805^(ℱ), County Sign Route S21^(ℱ).

Made updates to routes as part of the research for the end of Season 2 and the start of Season 3 of the podcast. This included changes to Part 1 of the chronology (correcting the description of the third and fourth state routes), the State Highway Types page (adding updated information on Scenic Highways), the Caltrans Resources Page (adding the Scenic Highways Guidelines), Route 3, Route 4, LRN 14, Route 21, Route 24, Route 36, LRN 40, LRN 75, Route 120, Route 155, Route 211, Route 242.

In response to discovering the Scenic Highway lists, clarified the Scenic Highway status of the following routes: Route 1, Route 2, Route 3, Route 4, I-5, I-8, Route 9, Route 12, Route 13, Route 14, I-15, Route 16, Route 17, Route 18, Route 20, Route 24, Route 25, Route 27, Route 28, Route 29, Route 30, Route 33, Route 35, Route 36, Route 37, Route 38, Route 39, I-40, Route 41, Route 44, Route 46, Route 49, US 50, Route 52, Route 53, Route 57, Route 58, Route 62, Route 68, Route 70, Route 71, Route 74, Route 75, Route 76, Route 78, Route 79, I-80, Route 84, Route 88, Route 89, Route 91, Route 92, Route 94, Route 96, US 97, US 101, Route 108, Route 111, Route 116, Route 118, Route 120, Route 121, Route 125, Route 126, Route 127, Route 128, Route 138, Route 139, Route 140, Route 142, Route 146, Route 150, Route 151, Route 152, Route 154, Route 156, Route 158, Route 160, Route 161, Route 163, Route 166, Route 168, Route 173, Route 174, Route 178, Route 180, Route 190, Route 197, Route 198, US 199, Route 203, Route 209, I-210, I-215, Route 221, Route 236, Route 239, Route 243, Route 247, Route 251, Route 254, Route 266, I-280, Route 299, Route 330, US 395, I-580, and I-680.

Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site, for bills through 2024-05-26. As usual, I recommend to every Californian that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their legis-critters are doing. As many people are unfamiliar with how the legislature operates (and why there are so many “non-substantive changes” and “gut and amend” bills), I’ve added the legislative calendar (updated for 2024) to the end of the Pending Legislation page. Mostly, this was bills working through committee. I noted the passage of the following in the period between March and Memorial Day:

• ACR 87 (Ta) “Surf City USA” interchange.
  Designates the interchange at I-405 and Route 39 in the County of Orange at Beach Boulevard as the “Surf City USA” interchange.

  04/30/24 Chaptered by Secretary of State – Res. Chapter 57, Statutes of 2024.

• ACR 92 (Schiavo) Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Hagop “Jake” Kuredjian Memorial Highway.
  Designates the portion of I-5 between the Pico-Lyons Overcrossing (~ LA R50.34) and the McBean Parkway Overcrossing (~ LA R51.514) in the City of Santa Clarita as the “Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Hagop “Jake” Kuredjian Memorial Highway.”

  04/30/24 Chaptered by Secretary of State – Res. Chapter 58, Statutes of 2024.

• ACR 93 (Dixon) Marian Bergeson Memorial Bridge.
  Designates the North Arm Newport Bay Bridge on Route 1 (Bridge № 55-0614, ORA R018.22), in the County of Orange, as the “Marian Bergeson Memorial Bridge.”

  04/30/24 Chaptered by Secretary of State – Res. Chapter 59, Statutes of 2024.

• ACR 98 (Lackey) CHP Officer Andy Ornelas Memorial Highway.
  Designates the portion of Route 14 from the Avenue 0-8 bridge (LA R62.151) to the Avenue M overcrossing (LA R64.678), in the County of Los Angeles, as the “CHP Officer Andy Ornelas Memorial Highway.”

  04/30/24 Chaptered by Secretary of State – Res. Chapter 60, Statutes of 2024.

Reviewed the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission, for the March, April, and May meetings. The following items were of interest:

• March 2024 Application No. 6-22-0196 (San Diego El Camino Real Bridge/Road Replacement, San Diego). Application of City of San Diego to demolish 2-lane bridge over the San Dieguito River and construct new 4-lane, 354 ft. long, 76 ft. wide bridge; realign and widen El Camino Real (former US 101) between San Dieguito Road and Via de la Valle; construct new intersection at El Camino Real and De la Valle Place; construct new medians, protected bike lanes, landscaping , multi-modal trail connections; and relocate the Coastal Zone Boundary up to 70 yds. inland, at El Camino Real, North City, San Diego, San Diego County. (ME-SD)

I checked California Transportation Commission page for the results of the March and May 2024 meetings of the California Transportation Commission. As always, note that I tend not to track items that do not impact these pages — i.e., pavement rehabilitation or replacement, landscaping, drainage, culverts, roadside facilities, charging stations, or other things that do not impact the routing or history, unless they are really significant. As such, the following items were of interest:

[ Note: ° indicates items that were below the level of detail for updating the specific route pages; ♠ is an indicator used to keep track of what has been added to the pages; ❧ indicates the results from the meeting, if the meeting minutes were available. ]

2.1a. STIP/SHOPP Program/Project Amendments

♠ (Mar) (1) SHOPP Amendments for Approval: Request to:

• Add 14 new projects into the 2022 SHOPP. (2.1a.(1a)) SHOPP Amendment 22H-017

Of these, the following projects/allocation were at the level of interest for the highway pages (general, these are significant new structures or changes, as opposed to repair or rehabilitation in place; additions of bike paths, pedestrian, or complete street elements; or non-visible changes). A lot of the updates were responses to: (1) storm damage; (2) repairs from wildfire damage and subsequent slides; and (3) vandalism of cables and wiring — which does not rise to the level of interest for the highway pages. If the item is more long-lasting or significant (such as the slides in the Big Sur area), then they are noted. “^⊘” indicates phase not programmed.

• #7. 07-LA-10 17.0/17.7. PPNO 07-6144; ProjID 0724000148; EA 2XL00. I-10 In the city of Los Angeles, from Alameda Street to Santa Fe Avenue. Clean up hazardous materials and debris from fire under bridge. Note: A fire broke out in the early hours of November 11, 2023 around 14^th Street, at the westbound Route 10 offramp to Alameda Street, and engulfed flammable materials such as wood pallets underneath Route 10. The fire quickly spread, and melted bridge railing and damaged concrete on bridge columns and the underside of the bridge structure. This project will remove and clean hazardous materials and debris from the project site. Abatement is being sought from the responsible party. Allocation ($ × $1000): PA&ED $0; PS&E $500; R/W Sup $0; Con Sup $500; R/W Cap $0; Const Cap: $3,000; TOTAL $4,000.

Construction temporary structural shoring beneath bridge. Note: A fire broke out in the early hours of November 11, 2023 around 14^th Street, at the westbound Route 10 offramp to Alameda Street, and engulfed flammable materials such as wood pallets underneath Route 10. The fire quickly spread, and melted bridge railing and damaged concrete on bridge columns and the underside of the bridge structure. This project will construct temporary structural shoring for the Santa Monica Viaduct No. 53-1301 to protect the structure in preparation for repairs. Abatement is being sought from the responsible party. Allocation ($ × $1000): PA&ED $0; PS&E $500; R/W Sup $0; Con Sup $1,250; R/W Cap $0; Const Cap: $6,000; TOTAL $7,750.

• SHOPP Safety Sub-Allocations (2.5f.(3)): $12,636,000 for two projects.
• Minor G-05-05 Allocations (2.5f.(4)): $4,871,000 for four projects.

Of these, the following were of interest for the highway pages:  Uninteresting projects included emergency storm damage mitigation that was primarily repairs; repairing damage from unhoused; and damage from accidents.

• (1) #7. $30,750,000. 05-Mon-1 20.9/42.2. PPNO 05-3145; ProjID 0523000074; EA 1Q770. Route 1 Near Big Sur, from Limekiln State Park to 0.9 mile south of Castro Canyon Bridge.  The Big Sur coastal area  experienced multiple large storm events from December 2022 through January 2023.  The heavy rain along with high winds resulted in multiple landslides and debris flows which impacted the highway, drainage systems,  rockfall drapery, and embankments.  The Paul’s Slide complex became unstable and requires mitigation to restore functionality and emergency access.  This project will remove slide material, reconstruct fill, restore or  replace culverts, restore damaged highway and embankment portions, restore rockfall barrier systems, and implement erosion control. This supplemental is needed to address additional cost due to this continued active slide.  The additional work is to remove additional debris, realign roadway above the original roadbed, install drainage systems, construct new roadway embankment and structural section, and adjust schedule to 7-day  workweeks to increase stabilization efforts. The realignment is intended to reduce the required amount of excavated material and increase capacity for a stabilized buttress fill. Initial G-11 Allocation  03/13/2023: $55,600,000. Supplemental G-11 Allocation  12/19/2023: $30,750,000. Revised Allocation: $86,350,000 (Additional $100,000 was allocated for Right of Way purposes.)
