  • Approximately 1,126 parking spots as outlined in the

current draft plans for county parks on the peninsula

General Conclusions

  • Conditions are expected to get a lot worse if development

continues as expected

  • Full package of recommendations: approximately $35M
  • To think about: We need to identify which if any of the

proposals should be acted on first – what gets the most bang for the buck and actually has a chance of being funded?

  • To think about: In pressing for changes to Rt 214, bear in mind

that improvements may help with safety BUT can also create the chance to allow more development on the peninsula

  • To think about: If development continues as expected, the

problems we have now will worsen, even if we act on the full package of recommendations

3 General Strategies

Depending on the intersection…

  • Add lanes
  • Create traffic circles
  • Add shoulders for safety
  • Next: We’ll hear more about the study’s findings and some

specifics on the 7 intersections

  • More options, and more details, are in the study itself.
