U. S. HIGHWAY-101 CORRIDOR
Councilman Larry Tencer reported on the U. S. Highway 101 Corridor
Committee. The 101 Corridor Technical Advisory Committee October 19
consensus recommendations are:
Implement an electric powered light rail transit. system on the NWP right-of-way
from Larkspur to Petaluma by the year 2000 with a possible extension to Santa
Rosa after the year 2005 and beyond the time frame for the 101 Corridor Plan
Widen Highway 101 from 4 to 6 mixed flow lanes from. Windsor to Petaluma
Upgrade Highway 101 to a freeway from Petaluma to Novato and add two High
Occupancy Vehicle (HOV)lanes to 101 from Petaluma to Novato
Add two High Occupancy Vehicle lanes to Highway 101 through San Rafael
specifically between Sir Francis Drake Blvd. and Puerto Suello Hill, .and add two
HOV lanes to 101 between Miller Creek Road in Marinwood and Highway 37 in
Novato
Councilman Tencer recommended the City Council support construction and
utilization of HOV lanes between Petaluma and: the Marie County Line. rather
than construction of general -purpose lanes; and to support two general use lanes
between Petaluma .and Windsor. He also recommended the City Council not:
support the acquisition of right-of-way through the imposition of additional sales
tax m Sonoma County.
There was discussion about the Council making 'more formal output' on the
transportation related matters.
