Location

Hale Ave (from Main Ave to Spring Ave)

Project Description Construct Hale Avenue between Main Avenue and DeWitt Avenue. This portion of the larger Santa Teresa corridor does not currently exist but would provide a north-south arterial roadway alternative west of Monterey Road through the downtown. The Hale Avenue extension is designed as a two lane (one in each direction) multi- modal roadway. The project is 85% designed. To complete the project it will be necessary to finish the design, purchase the necessary right-of-way, complete the CEQA processing, and build the roadway. In FY 15/16, the City hired a consultant to prepare the necessary CEQA studies for the project. They are expected to be complete in January 2017. For FY 16/17, staff will focus on finalizing the design and purchasing right of way from willing sellers. This project falls on the "Needed But Not Funded" list due to a shortfall of funding. Available Traffic Impact funds will provide only 30% of required funding. To complete the project, a supplemental funding source will be necessary. The project is being positioned to be a candidate for an eligible project in a County-wide transportation ballot measure in November 2016. Should that measure succeed, proceeds will be available to provide the 70% funding gap to complete the project. Staff will be utilizing Traffic Impact Funds to get the project as "shovel ready" as possible. The timing of construction is dependent on the results and terms of the proposed ballot measure.
