US 101 South County Multimodal Strategy: Draft Existing Conditions Report

The TA is accepting comments from August 1, 2025 to August 15, 2025.

The San Mateo County Transportation Authority (TA) is developing the South County Multimodal Strategy as part of the 101 Corridor Connect program which will identify projects that best meet the needs for all types of transportation options. The South County area includes the jurisdictions of Redwood City, Atherton, Menlo Park, East Palo Alto, and portions of unincorporated San Mateo County including North Fair Oaks. The project corridor includes a one-mile buffer along both sides of US 101. 

Below, you can view the draft Existing Conditions Report and provide input. The report is a summary and assessment of existing conditions from the perspectives of the transportation networks, population and socioeconomic characteristics, and travel patterns of the residents and workers in the South County area.

Suggestion
it worth mentioning the reason. ticket price, availability of discounted fares, etc.

Malahat Aug 19 2025 at 12:00AM on page 19

Question
connections from where?

Malahat Aug 18 2025 at 11:26PM on page 15

Please note that there was a major cut in services to schools in 2023.

Malahat Aug 18 2025 at 11:25PM on page 15

can you rewrite this sentence?

Malahat Aug 18 2025 at 11:21PM on page 15

Question
from where?

Malahat Aug 18 2025 at 11:19PM on page 13

Suggestion
Woodside Rd is a Vision Zero corridor in the City's adopted plan.

Malahat Aug 18 2025 at 11:18PM on page 13

Suggestion
Whipple is a Vision Zero corridor in the city's local adopted plan.

Malahat Aug 18 2025 at 11:15PM on page 11

Suggestion
when Caltrans repaired the Maple bridge in summer 2024, they did not put back the sharrow signs on the bridge.
It would be great to evaluate or mention the quality of crossings. Maple has a very narrow sidewalk on one side and currently no bike facility on the bridge.

Malahat Aug 18 2025 at 11:13PM on page 10

Suggestion
In Redwood City: Whipple, Brewster, Broadway, Maple, Main, Chestnut

Malahat Aug 18 2025 at 11:12PM on page 10

Suggestion
Please explain how it is impacted. The gate downtime creates back up traffic on the adjacent roadway, etc.

Malahat Aug 18 2025 at 11:09PM on page 10

Question
what does this sentence mean?

Malahat Aug 18 2025 at 11:07PM on page 10

Question
What is the am peak for freeway congestion evaluation?

Malahat Aug 18 2025 at 11:06PM on page 10

Question
congestion in which direction?

Malahat Aug 18 2025 at 10:52PM on page 6

Suggestion
lower posted speed

Chanda Singh Aug 18 2025 at 2:32PM on page 40

Suggestion
I think the takeaway here is that the HIN is accurate ..? And perhaps that investment into improvements on the HIN has a high potential to reduce KSI collisions?

Chanda Singh Aug 18 2025 at 2:31PM on page 39

Question
Is each trip taken individually or is there any way to distinguish short trips that are chained? E.g., home to school to an afterschool activity etc . vs home to school and back?

Chanda Singh Aug 18 2025 at 2:29PM on page 31

Suggestion
Could you add a sentence here explaining why NFO or other areas were excluded from the study?

Chanda Singh Aug 18 2025 at 2:21PM on page 29

Question
Are these the tracts (or blocks) within the Study Area or for entire jurisdiction?

Chanda Singh Aug 18 2025 at 12:59PM on page 27

Suggestion
Consider rephrasing the first two sentences to use the word "consideration" fewer times

Chanda Singh Aug 18 2025 at 12:54PM on page 26

Suggestion
Would be helpful to have a map showing various jurisdiction boundaries for what this data represents, since I'm assuming portions are outside of the 101 Corridor study area

Chanda Singh Aug 18 2025 at 12:52PM on page 24

Suggestion
Middlefield has bike lanes from 5th Ave to RR tracks/Northside Ave/Hurlingame
in reply to Chanda Singh's comment

Chanda Singh Aug 18 2025 at 12:50PM on page 24

Suggestion
And sharrows from Waverly to El Camino Real

Chanda Singh Aug 18 2025 at 12:50PM on page 24

Suggestion
I think this is 5th Avenue? 5th Ave has bike lanes between Waverly and Railroad tracks

Chanda Singh Aug 18 2025 at 12:47PM on page 24

Suggestion
Woodside CAPM project (led by Caltrans) implemented bike lanes on most of Woodside Road between 280 and 101. link

Chanda Singh Aug 18 2025 at 12:44PM on page 24

Suggestion
Suggest making labels transparent to see underlying facility

Batool Aug 14 2025 at 3:23PM on page 24

Suggestion
Class III bike lanes were installed on East Bayshore from Cooley Avenue up until Clarke Avenue.

Batool Aug 14 2025 at 3:16PM on page 24

Suggestion
Class III bike lanes have been installed on Fordham from Notre Dame Avenue to Rutgers Street.
in reply to Gwen Buckley's comment

Gwen Buckley Aug 14 2025 at 12:37PM on page 7

Earlier in report it says "Project Corridor" = one mile buffer around US-101, and "South County area" = jurisdictional boundary of cities that intersect project corridor. Should be consistent with terminology.

Gwen Buckley Aug 14 2025 at 12:34PM on page 7

Question
I thought the South County Project Area was a mile buffer around US 101?

Batool Aug 14 2025 at 12:11PM on page 24

Class III bike lanes on Addison Avenue from Bay Road to East Bayshore Road have been installed.

Batool Aug 14 2025 at 12:09PM on page 24

Suggestion
East Bayshore from Holland to Euclid has Class III bike lanes. Also, Euclid from East Bayshore to Runnymede has Class III bike lanes as well as Runnymede from Euclid to Cooley Avenue.

Nick Atchison Aug 14 2025 at 11:11AM on page 40

Suggestion
Update this with the latest post-electrification number- 65%

Nick Atchison Aug 14 2025 at 11:05AM on page 18

Should be 15 for the peaks at RWC, 20 for the peaks at MPK

Nick Atchison Aug 14 2025 at 11:03AM on page 18

Suggestion
I think maybe this should be "per direction"?

Nick Atchison Aug 14 2025 at 10:54AM on page 20

Suggestion
I think it would be good to bump this comment up to the body of the report. Ridership jumped when electrification was first implemented and has been trending solidly upward ever since. I'd also recommend adding a paragraph explaining that electrification has significantly improved the frequency and speed of Caltrain, compared to the old diesel service.

Gwen Buckley Aug 14 2025 at 9:42AM on page 18

Suggestion
This is confusing to include as a separate column since it's during the AM and PM peak.

Gwen Buckley Aug 14 2025 at 9:36AM on page 16

Question
Why is BART is source here?

Gwen Buckley Aug 14 2025 at 9:35AM on page 16

Suggestion
Could just say "Caltrain Station"

Gwen Buckley Aug 14 2025 at 9:32AM on page 15

Suggestion
I'm not sure how relevant the Zones are in this context. Could share the level of service instead (RWC is served by express, limited and local trains; Menlo Park is served by limited and local.). Are both of these stations with the one-mile buffer?

Gwen Buckley Aug 14 2025 at 9:24AM on page 4

Suggestion
I think it would be helpful for this map to include more granularity so we have a better understand of the extent of the project boundary. Potentially include the Caltrain corridor and stations.

Batool Zaro Aug 13 2025 at 4:33PM on page 24

Suggestion
Class II Bike lanes have been installed on Fordham Street from Bay Road to Notre Dame Avenue.

Batool Zaro Aug 13 2025 at 4:29PM on page 24

Suggestion
Class II Bike lanes have been installed on Bay Road from Pulgas Avenue up until the Bay Trail.

Batool Zaro Aug 13 2025 at 4:26PM on page 24

Suggestion
Newbridge Avenue between Bay Road and Sarratoga has a mix of Class II and Class III bike lanes (Class to on Newbridge in the WB direction starting from Poplar Avenue).

Batool Zaro Aug 13 2025 at 4:23PM on page 24

Suggestion
Pulgas Avenue from Oakes/Gaillardia to East Bayshore Road has Class II bike lanes in the NB direction and a mix of Class II and Class III in the SB direction.

Batool Zaro Aug 13 2025 at 4:21PM on page 24

Suggestion
Pulgas Avenue has Class III bike lanes from Bay Road to O'Connor Street.

Batool Zaro Aug 13 2025 at 4:20PM on page 24

Suggestion
Clarke Avenue has Class III bike lanes from Bay Road to Tinsley Street.

Batool Zaro Aug 13 2025 at 4:18PM on page 24

Suggestion
Class II bike lanes have been installed on Pulgas Avenue between O'Connor and Oakes/Gaillardia in 2025.

Chanda Singh Aug 13 2025 at 4:13PM on page 19

Suggestion
Earlier comment if applicable - Stanford Marguerite

Chanda Singh Aug 13 2025 at 4:10PM on page 15

Suggestion
Should this section include Stanford Marguerite Line RWC? link
link

Chanda Singh Aug 13 2025 at 4:06PM on page 13

Suggestion
I'm assuming this is "primary collision factor" -- suggest using terminology from SWITRS for consistency (rather than "cause")
