Tonight's Caltrans presentation on their State Route 61 Otis Dr/Doolittle Dr/Broadway pavement maintenance (CAPM) project will include updated information.
At a meeting requested by Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft, yesterday Caltrans said they are now working to incorporate the following City-requested pedestrian safety elements into the four-lane Otis Dr CAPM project design, which is slated for construction in 2026-2027:
- Pedestrian median islands at Otis/Mound and Otis/Versailles, with the planned flashing beacons at both legs of the crosswalks
- Quick-build bulb-outs at Otis/Bayview
Caltrans has also clarified that the final designs for Doolittle Dr bike lanes show a minimum 5' width throughout the project.
To address other community and City staff feedback, Caltrans is planning a future traffic calming project for Otis Dr from the Bay Farm Bridge to Broadway. They have determined that the agency can fund this project to begin planning/design work in 2028, with construction expected in the early 2030s.
Caltrans staff will present more details at the Transportation Commission tonight, with their updated presentation slides.
The Transportation Commission will hear the Caltrans presentation, receive public comment, and discuss the project. This is not an action item.
