2018 Changes

November 2018:

After two updates that added maps to every route page, it's time to do a regular update. As I've written before, I'm do some remodeling around here. Over the past year, the site has been moved to HTTPS: all the time, and (as noted) maps will be added. I've gotten a book on Responsive Design, and after I read it, I'll be moving the site to a responsive design, together with some basic graphic changes of the headers and menus. I have no plans to change the content or my method of content generation. As always, I'm on the lookout for a good WSYWYG with "Tags Mode" HTML editor that I like (both of the ones I use, HoTMetaL Pro and Amaya are abandonware). You can see my thoughts on what I would like from the redesign here; it also explains how the site is generated.

Moving on to the updates: Updates were made to the following highways, based on my reading of the papers (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum. This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research⁽¹⁾, contributions of information or leads (via direct mail) from Tom Fearer​ (​Max Rockatansky)⁽²⁾, Andy Field⁽³⁾, Mark F_/AARoads⁽⁴⁾, Gonelookin_/AARoads⁽⁵⁾, Alex Nitzman⁽⁶⁾, Joe Rouse⁽⁷⁾, Chris Sampang⁽⁸⁾, Sparker_/AARoads⁽⁹⁾, Jim Umbach⁽¹⁰⁾, Joel Windmiller⁽¹¹⁾: Route 1^(1,2), Route 2⁽¹⁾, Route 4^(1,2), I-5^(1,2), US 6⁽²⁾, Route 8^(1,2), Route 9^(1,8), Route 11⁽¹⁾, Route 12^(1,2), Route 14⁽¹⁾, I-15^(1,9,6,10), Route 16^(11,8,9), Route 20⁽²⁾, LRN 23⁽²⁾, Route 24^(11,8,9), Route 25⁽¹⁾, Route 26⁽²⁾, Route 28⁽²⁾, Route 29⁽¹⁾, Route 30⁽⁸⁾, Route 31⁽⁹⁾, Route 32⁽¹⁾, Route 33^(2,9), LRN 34⁽²⁾, Route 36⁽¹⁾, Route 37⁽¹⁾, Route 41⁽¹⁾, Route 42⁽¹⁾, Route 44⁽⁸⁾, Route 49^(1,2), US 50^(1,2,5), Route 51^(2,9,7), Route 52⁽¹⁾, Route 57⁽¹⁾, Route 58^(1,2,8), Route 60⁽¹⁾, Route 61⁽¹⁾, Route 65^(1,2), Route 74 (including the Mid-County Parkway)⁽¹⁾, Route 76⁽¹⁾, Route 79⁽¹⁾, I-80^(1,2,9,7), Route 82^(1,8), Route 84⁽¹⁾, Route 85⁽¹⁾, Route 88⁽²⁾, Route 89^(1,2), Route 92⁽⁸⁾, US 97⁽²⁾, Route 99^(1,2,11,9), US 101^(1,9), Route 108^(1,2), Route 110⁽¹⁾, Route 111⁽¹⁾, Route 118^(1,9), Route 122⁽⁹⁾, Route 128⁽¹⁾, LRN 129^(1,2), Route 132^(1,2,9), LRN 136^(1,2), Route 138⁽¹⁾, Route 141⁽⁶⁾, Route 155^(1,2), Route 156⁽¹⁾, Route 161⁽²⁾, Route 163⁽¹⁾, Route 166⁽¹⁾, Route 174⁽²⁾, Route 188⁽²⁾, Route 190^(1,2), Route 196⁽⁹⁾, Route 198⁽¹⁾, Route 201⁽¹⁾, Route 202⁽²⁾, I-210⁽¹⁾, I-215⁽¹⁾, Route 211^(1,2), I-215⁽¹⁾, Route 216⁽¹⁾, Route 221⁽¹⁾, Route 229⁽²⁾, Route 237⁽¹⁾, Route 238^(1,9), Route 241^(1,4), Route 249⁽⁹⁾, Route 263⁽¹⁾, Route 267⁽²⁾, Route 275⁽¹⁾, Route 276^(1,2), Route 283⁽¹⁾, Route 299^(1,2), US 395⁽¹⁾, Route 371⁽¹⁾, I-380⁽¹⁾, I-405⁽¹⁾, US 466⁽²⁾, I-580⁽¹⁾, I-680⁽¹⁾, I-710⁽¹⁾, I-780⁽⁶⁾, County Sign Route E2 - Capitol Southeast Connector^(3,8), County Sign Route E15⁽²⁾, County Sign Route E18⁽²⁾, County Sign Route G1⁽²⁾, County Sign Route J16⁽²⁾, County Sign Route J22⁽²⁾, County Sign Route J28⁽²⁾, County Sign Route J29⁽²⁾, County Sign Route J37⁽²⁾, County Sign Route J41⁽²⁾, County Sign Route N2⁽¹⁾, County Sign Route N3⁽¹⁾.

Noted the useful responses to an AAroad query for when I move to the "one highway per page" as part of Phase 3 of the site refresh.

Updated the Chronology based on the Caltrans chronology.

Noted a change in the definition of a Landscaped Freeway. In January 2018, the California Assembly voted unanimously to endorse a plan that could raise $500 million annually for each billboard classified as a digital billboard. The revenue could be applied for road work in the state. Sponsored by Assemblywoman Blanca Rubio, D-Baldwin Park, the bill would convert the state’s signage definition from static signs to include digital billboards. AB3168 would also clarify and limit what can be considered as a landscaped highway. The change would permit existing billboards to be relocated along highways. The digital billboards would also be taller than existing billboards. State and federal law are set up to protect landscaped areas along highways. Changes to allow affected digital billboards in the Golden State would also require federal approval. Failure to enforce federal law could result in the loss of 10 percent of federal highway funds. California receives $3.5 billion annually from the feds, which equates to the possibility of losing out on $350 million for failure to comply with the federal billboard rule. The bill was approved by the governor 9/29/2018, Chapter 926, Statutes of 2018.

Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the new California Legislature site. As usual, I recommend to every Californian that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their legis-critters are doing. I noted the passage/veto of the following bills and resolutions (for some of these, I've highlighted key phrases in red):

• AB 91 (Cervantes) High-occupancy vehicle lanes.
  Existing law authorizes the Department of Transportation to designate certain lanes for the exclusive or preferential use of high-occupancy vehicles. When those exclusive or preferential use lanes are established and double parallel solid lines are in place to the right thereof, existing law prohibits any person driving a vehicle from crossing over those double lines to enter into or exit from the lanes, and entrance or exit from those lanes is authorized only in areas designated for these purposes or where a single broken line is in place to the right of the lanes, except as specified.

  This bill would require the department to report to the transportation policy committees of the Legislature, on or before January 1, 2020, on the feasibility and appropriateness of limiting the use of high-occupancy vehicle lanes to high-occupancy vehicles and eligible vehicles, as defined, only during the hours of heavy commuter traffic on both Route 91 between I-15 and I-215 in the County of Riverside, and Route 60 in the County of Riverside.
  09/18/18 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 468, Statutes of 2018.

• AB 2272 (Mayes) State highways: relinquishment.
  This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the City of Palm Springs any portion, or the entirety, of Route 111 within its city limits, upon terms and conditions the commission finds to be in the best interests of the state, if the department and the city enter into an agreement providing for that relinquishment.
  09/17/18 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 433, Statutes of 2018.
• AB 2473 (Bonta) State Highway Route 185: relinquishment: City of San Leandro.
  Existing law authorizes the commission to relinquish all or a portion of Route 185 in the City of Hayward to that city, as specified, and to relinquish all or a portion of Route 185 in the County of Alameda to that county, as specified.

  This bill would additionally authorize the commission to relinquish all or a portion of Route 185 in the City of San Leandro to that city, as specified.
  09/10/18 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 321, Statutes of 2018.

• AB 2535 (Obernolte) High-occupancy toll lanes: notice of toll evasion violation.
  Existing law requires an issuing agency or a processing agency to forward a notice of toll evasion violation to the registered owner of a vehicle that is found, by automated devices, visual observation, or otherwise, to have evaded tolls on a toll road or toll bridge within 21 days of the violation, except as specified. Existing law requires the notice of toll evasion violation to set forth the violation, including reference to the code section violated, the approximate time thereof, and the location where the violation occurred. Existing law also requires the notice of toll evasion violation to include the vehicle license plate number, a clear and concise explanation of the procedures for contesting the violation and appealing an adverse decision, and, if practicable, the registration expiration date and the make of the vehicle.

  This bill would also require the notice of toll evasion violation to include a copy of photographic evidence on which the toll evasion determination was based if the vehicle was found, by automated devices, to have evaded the toll through failure to meet occupancy requirements in a high-occupancy toll lane. Because this bill would require an issuing agency or a processing agency to include additional materials in the notice, it would impose a state-mandated local program.

  The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

  This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
  09/17/18 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 435, Statutes of 2018.

• AB 2548 (Friedman) Commute benefit policies: Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
  Existing law declares that the fostering, continuance, and development of public transportation systems are a matter of statewide concern. Existing law creates the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, with various powers and duties with respect to transportation planning, programming, construction, and operations.

  This bill would authorize the authority to adopt, and revise as necessary, a commute benefit ordinance that requires covered employers operating within the authority’s area with a specified number of employees to offer certain employees commute benefits, as specified, except that the bill would prohibit the ordinance from affecting employers covered by certain South Coast Air Quality Management District rules or regulations. The bill would require the ordinance to specify certain matters, including any consequences for noncompliance. The bill would, if the authority adopts a commute benefit ordinance, require the authority, before January 1, 2022, to submit a report to the transportation policy committees of each house of the Legislature and the Senate Committee on Environmental Quality that includes specified elements.
  08/20/18 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 173, Statutes of 2018.

• AB 2615 (Carrillo) State highway system: parks and recreation: accessibility for bicycles and pedestrians.
  Existing law provides that the Department of Transportation has full possession and control of all state highways and all property and rights in property acquired for state highway purposes, including any portion of a state highway within a state park. Existing law also authorizes the department and any county having a park commission to enter into and carry out cooperative agreements for the grading, development, planting and maintenance of roadside areas, including a roadside park, along any state highway and within the right of way of that state highway. Existing law also authorizes the department to enter into any agreement with the United States or any federal department or agency when the construction of any federal facility or any feature of that facility requires construction, relocation, or other change in any state highway or bridge.

  This bill would, to the extent possible, and where feasible and cost effective, require the department to partner with appropriate public agencies, including, but not limited to, the Department of Parks and Recreation, any federal department or agency, and any regional or local public entity, to develop strategies and plans to improve access for bicycles and pedestrians to federal, state, regional, and local parks adjacent to or connected to the state highway system.
  09/18/18 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 496, Statutes of 2018.

• AB 2734 (Frazier) California Transportation Commission.
  Existing law establishes in state government the Transportation Agency, which includes various departments and state entities, including the California Transportation Commission. Existing law vests the California Transportation Commission with specified powers, duties, and functions relative to transportation matters. Existing law requires the commission to retain independent authority to perform the duties and functions prescribed to it under any provision of law.

  This bill would exclude the California Transportation Commission from the Transportation Agency, establish it as an entity in state government, and require it to act in an independent oversight role. The bill would also make conforming changes.
  09/14/18 Vetoed by Governor. Veto Message: I signed legislation in 2012 that affirmed the Commission's independent authority to perform its duties and no evidence has been presented which would suggest a need to now change the existing framework.

• AB 2865 (Chiu) High-occupancy toll lanes: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority.
  Existing law authorizes the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) to conduct, administer, and operate a value pricing high-occupancy toll (HOT) lane program on 2 corridors included in the high-occupancy vehicle lane system in the County of Santa Clara and on Route 101 in the County of San Mateo in coordination with the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority, as prescribed.

  This bill would authorize the Santa Clara Transportation Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) to apply to the commission pursuant to the above-described provisions to conduct, administer, and operate HOT lanes or other toll facilities on Route 101 and a specified portion of Route 280 in the City and County of San Francisco if the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) approves the facilities before VTA submits an application to the commission for approval. The bill would require VTA to conduct, administer, and operate the facility in coordination with SFCTA. The bill would require SFCTA, in collaboration with the department and VTA, to develop the expenditure plan and would require the governing board of SFCTA to review and approve the expenditure plan and any updates.

  Existing law authorizes VTA to conduct, administer, and operate a value pricing high-occupancy toll (HOT) lane program on 2 corridors included in the high-occupancy vehicle lane system in the County of Santa Clara and on Route 101 in the County of San Mateo in coordination with the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority, as prescribed. For the value pricing program authorized on Route 101 in the County of San Mateo, existing law requires all remaining revenue generated by the program after specified expenditures are made to be used in the corridor from which the revenues were generated exclusively for certain purposes.

  This bill would provide that those remaining revenues may also be used for projects that benefit the corridor, as specified. The bill would make other nonsubstantive and minor substantive changes.
  09/18/18 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 501, Statutes of 2018.

• AB 3075 (Berman) Office of Elections Cybersecurity.
  Existing law establishes the Secretary of State as the chief elections officer of the state.

  This bill would create within the Secretary of State the Office of Elections Cybersecurity to coordinate efforts between the Secretary of State and local elections officials to reduce the likelihood and severity of cyber incidents that could interfere with the security or integrity of elections in the state, and to monitor and counteract false or misleading information regarding the electoral process that is published online or on other platforms and that may suppress voter participation or cause confusion and disruption of the orderly and secure administration of elections.

• SB 957 (Lara) Vehicles: high-occupancy vehicle lanes.
  Existing state law authorizes the Department of Transportation to designate certain lanes for the exclusive use of high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs). Existing law also authorizes, until January 1, 2019, ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEVs), and until September 30, 2025, or until the date federal authorization expires, or until the Secretary of State receives a specified notice, whichever occurs first, super ultra-low emission vehicles (SULEVs), enhanced advanced technology partial zero-emission vehicles (enhanced AT PZEVs), or transitional zero-emission vehicles (TZEVs), as specified, that display a valid identifier issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles to use these HOV lanes. Existing law makes it a crime to drive one of those vehicles in an HOV lane without properly displaying the issued identifier and having the vehicle registration with the vehicle, or to operate or own a vehicle displaying an identifier if the identifier was not issued for that vehicle. Existing law makes identifiers for ULEVs valid until January 1, 2019, and makes identifiers for SULEVs, enhanced AT PEZEVs, and TZEVs valid until January 1, 2019, January 1, 2022, or January 1 of the 4th year after the year in which they were issued, as specified. Existing law, except as specified, prohibits a vehicle from being issued an identifier more than once.

  This bill would authorize an identifier to be issued commencing January 1, 2020, until January 1, 2024, to SULEVs, enhanced AT PEZEVs, and TZEVs for a vehicle that had previously been issued an identifier and would make that identifier valid until January 1, 2024, if the applicant for the identifier has a household income at or below 80% of the state median income. The bill would require the Department of Motor Vehicles to report to the Legislature the number of identifiers issued pursuant to those provisions, and would require the report to be issued after January 1, 2023, but before June 1, 2023. The bill would prohibit a person who obtained an identifier for a vehicle prior to January 1, 2017, from obtaining another identifier pursuant to those provisions, notwithstanding the person’s qualifying income. The bill would also make a conforming change and technical, nonsubstantive changes.
  09/13/18 Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 367, Statutes of 2018.

• SB 989 (Wieckowski) State highways: relinquishment.
  Existing law provides that the Department of Transportation has full possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a process for adoption of a highway on an authorized route by the California Transportation Commission. Existing law authorizes the commission to relinquish to local agencies state highway segments that have been deleted from the state highway system by legislative enactment or have been superseded by relocation, and in certain other cases.

  This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the City of Fremont a specified portion of Route 84 within its city limits, upon terms and conditions the commission finds to be in the best interests of the state, if the department and the city enter into an agreement providing for that relinquishment.
  09/17/18 Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 461, Statutes of 2018.

• SB 1259 (Nielsen) Signage: tourist oriented directional signs.
  Existing law authorizes the Department of Transportation to administer a program for the placement of tourist oriented directional signs for businesses, attractions, or facilities near state highways in nonurbanized areas. Existing law specifies various requirements for placement of these signs, including a requirement that the maximum distance from a highway intersection to an attraction or facility may not exceed 10 miles, except as provided.

  This bill would exempt signs to facilities or attractions located in the County of Tehama that are directly related to an American Viticultural Area located in that county from this requirement. The bill would also express the intent of the Legislature to authorize the County of Tehama to place wayfinding signage on state highways in support of an American Viticultural Area located in the county.

  This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of Tehama.
  07/20/18 Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 156, Statutes of 2018.

• SB 1289 (Committee on Judiciary) Maintenance of the codes.
  This bill would make nonsubstantive changes in various provisions of law to effectuate the recommendations made by the Legislative Counsel to the Legislature (including to the Streets and Highways Code).
  07/09/18 Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 92, Statutes of 2018.
• SB 1328 (Beall) Mileage-based road usage fee.
  Existing law requires the Chair of the California Transportation Commission to create a Road Usage Charge (RUC) Technical Advisory Committee in consultation with the Secretary of the Transportation Agency. Under existing law, the purpose of the technical advisory committee is to guide the development and evaluation of a pilot program to assess the potential for mileage-based revenue collection as an alternative to the gas tax system. Existing law requires the technical advisory committee to study RUC alternatives to the gas tax, gather public comment on issues and concerns related to the pilot program, and to make recommendations to the Secretary of the Transportation Agency on the design of a pilot program, as specified. Existing law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2019

  This bill would extend the operation of these provisions until January 1, 2023. The bill would, in addition, require the technical advisory committee to continue to assess the potential for mechanisms, including, but not limited to, a mileage-based revenue collection system, to use as alternative methods to the existing gas tax system for generating the revenue necessary to maintain and operate the state’s transportation system. The bill would, instead, require the committee to gather public comment related to the assessment of those mechanisms.

The project will remove and dispose of slide debris and hazardous trees, support ongoing geotechnical investigations, and repair roadway. Supplemental work that consists of temporary shoring, excavation, guardrail repair, and construction of Hilfiker Welded Wire retaining wall is needed to address additional slides (PM 3.0 and PM 15.8) that are in proximity to existing work limits. Additional supplemental work necessary to complete drainage work at PM 16.21, 16.24, and 43.42. This supplemental will also allow for the completion of work while maintaining the route open to traffic at PM 31.4.
• $19,700,000 Mendocino 01-Men-1 75.5/76.5: Route 1 Near Westport, from 0.6 mile to 1.4 miles north of Blue Slide Gulch. Heavy rainfall in March 2016 caused sudden movement in the Westport Landslide Complex, causing substantial settlement and cracking of the roadway. This project will reconstruct the roadway, repair drainage, install a geotechnical monitoring system, and install erosion control measures. The work is necessary to prevent further roadway deterioration and pavement loss and provide a safe alignment for the traveling public while providing time for a more permanent repair strategy. Supplemental work is necessary to construct solider pile ground anchor walls.
• $1,100,000 San Bernardino 08-SBd-15 160.8/161.1: Route 15 Near Baker, at Valley Wells Safety Roadside Rest Area (SRRA). Four years of drought have lead to a reduction in groundwater and water quality at the Valley Wells SRRA, forcing this heavily used facility to be closed to public use. An adjacent SRRA is also closed for similar reasons resulting in a very large section of isolated Route 15 without these types of services for the traveling public. This project will abandon the existing failing well, drill a new well, and connect to the existing system, allowing the facility to be reopened.
• $14,044,000 Lake 01-Lak-175 R25.0/27.5: Route 175 Near Middletown, from 0.1 mile east of Putah Creek Bridge to Dry Creek Bridge.

Outcome/Output: Improve safety by realigning roadway curves, widening shoulders, adding new guardrail, and constructing a gabion-style retaining wall. This project will reduce the number and severity of collisions.
• $10,982,000 Riverside 08-Riv-74 37.7/44.7 Route 74 In and near Hemet, from 0.1 mile west of West Acacia Avenue to Ramona Expressway. Outcome/Output: Improve safety by constructing raised curb median, left turn pockets, and widening outside shoulders. This project will reduce the number and severity of collisions.
• $2,715,000 San Bernardino 08-SBd-62 41.0/41.5 Route 62 Near Twentynine Palms, from 0.7 mile to 1.2 miles east of Godwin Road and from 5.6 miles to 6.1 miles east of Ironage Road. Outcome/Output: Widen shoulders and construct rumble strips. This project will increase safety and reduce the number and severity of collisions.
• $1,339,000 San Bernardino 08-SBd-127 28.0/R28.5 Route 127 Near Baker, 28.0 miles north of Route 15 to 1.2 miles south of Saratoga Springs Road. Outcome/Output: Construct shoulders and install ground-in rumble strips. This will reduce the number and severity of collisions.
• $1,625,000 San Bernardino 08-SBd-247 39.5/40.0 Route 247 Near Lucerne Valley, from 0.1 mile south to 0.4 mile north of Camp Rock Road. Outcome/Output: Improve safety by constructing shoulders and installing shoulder and centerline rumble strips. This project will reduce the number and severity of collisions.
• $15,171,000 San Bernardino 08-SBd-395 35.5/39.1 US 395 Near Adelanto, from 1.0 mile south of Kramer Hills to 2.6 miles north of Kramer Hills. Outcome/Output: Widen median and shoulders and construct rumble strips. This project will increase safety and reduce the number and severity of collisions.
• $4,711,000 San Diego 11-SD-94 29.4/29.7: Route 94 Near Dulzura, from 0.3 mile east of Grande Creek Bridge to 0.1 mile west of Marron Valley Road. Outcome/Output: Roadway realignment, curve improvement, and shoulder widening. This project will increase safety and reduce the number and severity of collisions.
• $14,800,000 Orange 12-Ora-22 R5.6/R10.9 Route 22 In the cities of Garden Grove, Orange and Santa Ana, from 0.1 mile west of Brookhurst Street to Bedford Road. Outcome/Output: Improve safety and enhance traffic flow by reconfiguring collector-distributor roadway channelization and connector ramps to Route 5 and Route 57, and adding auxiliary lane. This project will reduce the number and severity of collisions.

October 2018:

Phase 2 of the site refresh is done -- the second half of the "Mapping Project Phase". In this phase, maps illustrating each route were added to the County Sign Route pages. This uncovered loads of errors in the database, and loads of errors in Google Maps. It also shows much more visually the rhyme and reason behind the county sign routes. It is a shame that the counties have not done a better job signing these routes or calling attention to them -- many of them look quite useful and interesting to drive. It is also interesting that many counties do not choose to participate in the program, or do so only sparingly.

Next up: A normal update, processing headlines, legislative actions, and CTC minutes.

July 2018:

July was not a normal update: It was phase 1 of the site refresh, also known as the "Mapping Project Phase." In this phase, maps illustrating each route were added to the pages. Future phases in this project will include:

• Adding maps to the county highways, and conversion of the county pages away from the "table" format.
• Potentially adding some more historical maps for the pre-1964 routes, although Tom Fearer​/​Max Rockatansky/Challenger 66 may be doing this on some of his blogs, and I may just point there.
• Reworking of the site to have one highway per page, instead of the present eight per page.
• Adapting the site for responsive design.

June 2018:

OK, OK. I said I wouldn't let too much time elapse between updates. Life got away from me. Deal.

I'm starting to get the urge to do some remodeling around here. I've already gotten the site moved to HTTPS: all the time, both on the blog side and on the highways side. Next up will be moving to a responsive design, together with some basic graphic changes of the headers and menus. I have no plans to change the content or my method of content generation. Rather, the use of icons as a menu with no text is very out of date; I'd rather go to a more accessible and understandable approach with some drop-down menus, and perhaps a nice graphic header. I did explore using a different CMS for the highway side and integrating my generation approach, but I've come to realize that is quite likely overkill. The problems I've got are (a) finding a good WSYWYG HTML editor that I like (both of the ones I use, HoTMetaL Pro and Amaya are abandonware). Second is learning how responsive design works and having the time to do it (this site was started in the earliest days of the web). So comment if you have suggestions (or wish to volunteer to help with the top level design), and be prepared for a new look at some point in the future. You can see my thoughts on what I would like from the redesign here; it also explains how the site is generated.

Moving on to the updates: Updates were made to the following highways, based on my reading of the papers (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum. This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research⁽¹⁾, contributions of information or leads (via direct mail) from Michael Ballard⁽²⁾, bing101_/AARoads⁽³⁾, DTComposer⁽⁴⁾, Tom Fearer​/​Max Rockatansky_/AARoads⁽⁵⁾, Andy Fields⁽⁶⁾, Ray Mullins⁽⁷⁾, Alex Nitzman⁽⁸⁾, Sparker_/AARoads⁽⁹⁾, Miosh_Tino_/AARoads⁽¹⁰⁾, Don Williams⁽¹¹⁾, Joel Windmiller⁽¹²⁾: Route 1^(1,8), Route 4⁽¹⁾, I-5^(1,2,8,3,9), US 6⁽⁵⁾, I-8⁽⁸⁾, Route 9⁽⁵⁾, I-10⁽¹⁾, Route 11⁽⁸⁾, Route 12⁽¹⁾, Route 14⁽¹⁾, I-15^(1,8), Route 16⁽⁸⁾, Route 17^(1,5), Route 18⁽¹⁾, LRN 21⁽⁵⁾, Route 24^(5,8), Route 25⁽⁸⁾, Route 28⁽⁵⁾, Route 32^(1,5), Route 33^(5,7,11), Route 34⁽¹⁾, Route 35^(1,5), Route 36^(1,5), Route 37⁽⁸⁾, I-40⁽¹⁾, US 40⁽⁵⁾, Route 41^(1,5), Route 46^(1,5), Route 49⁽⁵⁾, US 50^(1,5,3), Route 51⁽¹⁾, Route 52⁽⁸⁾, Route 57⁽¹⁾ Route 58⁽¹⁾, Route 59⁽⁵⁾, Route 60⁽¹⁾, Route 62^(1,5), Route 65^(3,9), Route 66^(1,5), Route 67⁽¹⁾, Route 68⁽¹⁾, Route 70^(1,5,9), Route 71⁽¹⁾, Route 75⁽¹⁾, Route 76⁽¹⁾, Route 77⁽⁸⁾, I-80^(1,3,9), US 80⁽⁵⁾, Route 82⁽⁸⁾, Route 84^(1,9), Route 85^(1,5,10), Route 88⁽¹²⁾, Route 89⁽¹⁾, Route 91⁽¹⁾, Route 93⁽⁸⁾, US 95^(1,5), US 97⁽⁸⁾, Route 99^(1,9), US 101^(1,3,6), Route 109⁽⁵⁾, I-110^(1,8), Route 113⁽¹⁾, Route 114^(5,9), Route 119⁽⁵⁾, Route 120⁽⁵⁾, Route 121⁽¹⁾, Route 123⁽⁸⁾, Route 124⁽⁵⁾, Route 127^(1,5), LRN 127^(1,5), Route 130^(5,9,8), Route 132⁽⁹⁾, Route 135^(5,9), Route 136^(1,5,9), Route 138⁽¹⁾, Route 138/HDC⁽¹⁾, Route 140⁽⁵⁾, Route 141⁽⁸⁾, Route 146⁽⁵⁾, Route 147⁽¹⁾, Route 149⁽⁹⁾, Route 152⁽¹⁾, Route 153⁽⁵⁾, Route 155⁽⁵⁾, Route 156⁽¹⁾, Route 158⁽⁵⁾, Route 163⁽¹⁾, Route 165^(5,9), Route 166^(1,5,8), Route 167⁽⁵⁾, Route 172⁽⁵⁾, Route 176^(5,9), Route 178⁽⁵⁾, Route 180⁽⁵⁾, Route 184⁽⁵⁾, Route 187⁽¹⁾, Route 191⁽¹⁾, Route 192⁽¹⁾, Route 195^(5,9), Route 197⁽⁸⁾, US 199⁽⁸⁾, Route 203⁽⁵⁾, I-205⁽⁸⁾, Route 207⁽⁵⁾, Route 209⁽⁵⁾, I-210⁽¹⁾, Route 218⁽¹⁾, Route 219⁽⁵⁾, Route 222⁽⁹⁾, Route 223⁽⁵⁾, Route 227⁽⁵⁾, Route 237⁽⁵⁾, Route 241⁽¹⁾, Route 246⁽¹⁾, Route 265⁽⁸⁾, Route 268⁽¹⁾, Route 270⁽⁵⁾, Route 273⁽⁸⁾, I-280⁽¹⁾, Route 281⁽⁸⁾, Route 283⁽⁸⁾, Route 284⁽⁸⁾, Route 299⁽⁸⁾, Route 330⁽⁸⁾, Route 371^(1,8), US 395⁽⁸⁾, US 399⁽⁵⁾, I-405⁽¹⁾, US 466⁽⁵⁾, I-580⁽¹⁾, I-605^(1,4), I-680⁽¹⁾, I-710⁽¹⁾, I-780^(3,8), I-805^(1,8), Route 905⁽⁸⁾, County Sign Route A15⁽⁵⁾, County Sign Route A22⁽⁵⁾, County Sign Route A23⁽⁵⁾, County Sign Route G13⁽⁵⁾, County Sign Route G14⁽⁵⁾, County Sign Route J18⁽⁵⁾, County Sign Route J59⁽⁵⁾.

Added some extensive history to Route 710 for the period before 2006, as a result of some of my materials being used in an exhibition on the history and controversy over the Route 710 Gap Completion. Thanks also to Julia Tcharfas and Tim Ivison, the exhibition organizers, for the scans of the proposed Route 710 gap routings from the 1980s, which was in their extensive set of clippings on the subject. This also led me to write a blog post on the subject.

Added a question to the FAQ about roadside memorials.

Processed some link corrections from David Crisp, Rosanna Kull, and Will Tottle.

I've begun the slow process of adding postmile references to ensure I present highway information in order. Notable routes where this has been done includes Route 1, I-5, Route 99, and US 101. The process of doing so uncovered a few errors in the site, which have been corrected. For those who love to debate, this uncovered that there is a Route 101U, just as there was a Route 14U. There's also a Route 210U.

Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the new California Legislature site. As usual, I recommend to every Californian that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their legis-critters are doing. I noted the passage/veto of the following bills and resolutions (for some of these, I've highlighted key phrases in red):

• SCR 57 (Cannella) Memorial highways.
  (1) Designates the portion of Route 183 from Davis Road (approx 183 MON R1.908) to Espinosa Road (approx 183 MON R7.642) in the City of Salinas in the County of Monterey as the "United States Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Edward Balli Memorial Highway";

  (2) Designates the portion of US 101 from Esperanza Road (approx 101 MON 78.682) to Gould Road (approx 101 MON 82.564) in the County of Monterey as the "United States Army Specialist Ricardo Cerros, Jr. Memorial Highway";

  (3) Designates the portion of Route 183 from US 101 (183 MON 0.0) to Davis Road (approx 183 MON R1.908) in the City of Salinas in the County of Monterey as the "United States Army Specialist Vilmar Galarza Hernandez Memorial Highway";

  (4) Designates the portion of US 101 from Hudson Road near the City of Soledad (approx. 101 MON 55.935) to Espinosa Road near the City of Greenfield (approx. 101 MON 52.193) in the County of Monterey as the "United States Army Sgt. Javier Sanchez Memorial Highway".

  (5) Designates the portion of Route 218 from the junction of Route 68 in the City of Del Rey Oaks (approx. 218 MON 1.944) to the junction of Route 1 in the City of Seaside (approx 218 MON 0.0) in the County of Monterey (i.e., all of Route 218) as the "United States Army Private First Class Coronado D. Javier Memorial Highway."
  03/09/18 Chaptered by Secretary of State. Res. Chapter 21, Statutes of 2018..

I checked the CTC Liaison page for the results of the CTC meetings from January through June 2018 (January 2018, March 2018, May 2018, June2018 (Agenda)). Given all the SB1 additions, I'm not updating simple financial amendments or adjustments to project funding allocations. Agenda Item 4.4 from the March 2018 agenda is a good summary of the programs impacted by SB1 funds.

But, before we get into the Agenda Items, there's more. The following is from March 2018 Agenda Item 4.29 (Tab 25), "Adoption of the 2018 State Transportation Improvement Program", Resolution G-18-16 (note that agenda item also includes the corrections from that meeting):

This book item includes the text that was part of the Staff Recommendations. It does not include the 86 pages of spreadsheet tables and their description that comprise the remainder of the Staff Recommendations.

Here are the 86 pages of the STIP, as presented on February 28, 2018. This page has the items with any errata, and will presumably be updated. Then, of course, there is the SHOPP, which is more of a maintenance program. The DraftSHOPP proposal was 428 pages of PDF. The final adopted SHOPP, again at the March Meeting, was 413 pages (plus someearly financial allocations). Then, there's the 186 page Transportation Asset Management Plan. There was also the SB1 Project Map and Project List of over 5,000 projects. All of these required review as part of these SB1 updates. As with my normal CTC reviews, with respect to the SHOPP, my goal is not to record all changes -- especially ephemeral ones or ones that do not substantially change the routing. Translation: What I'm really interested in is the significant or new: additions of lanes, significant reroutings, new bridges with significant differences, and such. There are a number of bridge projects to establish standard vertical clearances. I'm generally not including those, especially if they don't include construction and construction support, unless they really catch my eye.

I'm not going to repeat all the details of the changes here; I'm only going to list the highways that had updates as a result of the review: Route 1, Route 2, Route 3, Route 4, I-5, I-8, Route 9, I-10, Route 12, Route 14, I-15, Route 16, Route 18, Route 20, Route 25, Route 29, Route 32, Route 36, Route 39, I-40, Route 41, Route 44, Route 46, Route 49, US 50, Route 51, Route 55, Route 57, Route 58, Route 60, Route 65, Route 68, Route 70, Route 71, Route 75, I-80, Route 84, Route 88, Route 92, Route 94, Route 96, US 99E (Route 99), Route 99, US 101, Route 108, Route 110, Route 120, Route 121, Route 128, Route 132, Route 133, Route 138, Route 146, Route 152, Route 154, Route 156, Route 164, Route 174, Route 180, Route 184, I-205, I-210, Route 217, Route 237, Route 245, Route 255, I-280, Route 299, US 395, I-405, I-680, I-710, I-805, County Sign Route G12. Note that in these descriptions: PS&E ≡Plans, Specifications, and Estimates.

Modulo the detailed STIP, SHOPP, and TAMP updates, and looking at the meetings covered in this update, the following items were of interest (note: ° indicates items that were below the level of detail for updating the specific route pages; ♠ is an indicator used to keep track of what has been added to the pages) :
