REQUESTING SUPPORT FOR THE REASSIGNMENT OF CAPITAL FUNDS
TO FACILITATE THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
OF INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE

WHEREAS, the City Council of Petaluma has supported the CalTrans and SCTA
proposal for the provision of auxiliary lanes in the vicinity of the Highway 101, East Washington
Street Interchange; and,

tentative plans for interchange configuration improvements to the East Washington Street
interchange, including provision of a northbound free-right onramp and modifications to the
southbound on-ramp and northbound off-ramp to improve visibility and safety; and,
WHEREAS, the City recognizes the need to increase lane capacity on East Washington
Street to provide improved access to Highway 101; and,

intersections greatly exacerbates local and regional serving traffic levels of service.

provision of auxiliary lanes be reassigned to the design and construction of the above referenced
