This update covers the remainder of May that wasn’t covered in the April update, plus June and July. This took a bit longer, because I’ve also been working on getting our new podcast, California Highways: Route by Route up and running. You can visit the podcast’s forever home at https://www.caroutebyroute.org/ , or the show’s page on anchor.fm. A full sample episode and the first full episode (covering the history of California Highways through 1920) are already up. The next episode will be up shortly after these updates. Subscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcasting app or by using the RSS feed. Just search for “California Highways” and look for our logo. The podcast is a joint effort between me and Tom Fearer of Gribblenation. Our plan is to include interviews in each episode. Episode 1.01 includes an interview with Adam Prince on the Good Roads movement, and episode 1.02 will feature Joel Windmiller of the Lincoln Highway Association on the initial set of US highways in California. We’re looking for interviews for the remaining set of Season 1 episodes, as indicated. If you’ve got a lead on a speaker, please let me know.
1.03: Building a State Highway System: The 1930s: An expert on the role of the Auto Club in signing highways- 1.04: Building a State Highway System: Expanding the System: Someone to talk on the 1956 Interstate Highway Bill
- 1.05: Building a State Highway System: The Great Renumbering and New Freeways: Someone to talk on the construction boom of the 1960s and/or the impact of the great renumbering.
- 1.06: Building a State Highway System: CEPA and Reality: Someone to talk on the impact of the California EPA act on highway construction
- 1.07: Highway Numbering: State Highways: Someone to talk on how the state numbers state highways — in particular, anything official on numbering patterns, or the rules for signing things.
- 1.08: Highway Numbering: US Highways: Here I’d like someone to talk on the role of AASHTO on numbering US highways
- 1.09: Highway Numbering: Interstates: This is Interstate numbering, so again an expert on Interstates — either numbering, the federal aid highway acts, or the chargeable/non-chargeable distinction
- 1.10: Highway Numbering: County Routes: This is numbering of county highways, so anyone from a county public works department on the signed route system
- 1.11: The Naming of Highways: A state legislator on highway naming resolutions
- 1.12: The Organizations of State Highways: Someone from the California Transportation Commission on the role of the commission.
Updates were made to the following highways, based on my reading of the (virtual) papers in May, June, and July 2022 (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 (Ꜳ).

Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the 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. As many people are unfamiliar with how the legislature operates (and why there are so many “non-substantive changes” and “gut and amend” bills), I’ve added the legislative calendar to the end of the Pending Legislation page. The following bills made it out of the process:
- AB 1666 (Bauer-Kahan) Abortion: civil actions.
Existing law provides that every individual possesses a fundamental right of privacy with respect to their personal reproductive decisions. Existing law prohibits the state from denying or interfering with the right to choose or obtain an abortion before the fetus is viable, or when the abortion is necessary to protect the life or health of the pregnant person. Existing law requires an abortion to be performed by a specified licensed or certified health care provider and prohibits an abortion from being performed on a viable fetus if continuation of the pregnancy did not pose a risk to the life or health of the pregnant person.The United States Constitution generally requires a state to give full faith and credit to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. Existing law sets forth procedures by which a person may enforce a judgment for the payment of money issued by the court of a state other than California.This bill would declare another state’s law authorizing a civil action against a person who receives or seeks, performs or induces, or aids or abets the performance of an abortion, or who attempts or intends to engage in those actions, to be contrary to the public policy of this state. The bill would prohibit the application of that law to a case or controversy heard in state court, and would prohibit the enforcement or satisfaction of a civil judgment received under that law. The bill would declare these provisions to be severable.

Reviewed the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission. I reviewed the June and July agendas for the Coastal Commission meetings. The following items were of interest:
- June 2022 Application 3-19-0894 (Carmel River Floodplain Restoration and Environmental Enhancement Project (Carmel River FREE), Monterey Co.). Application of Big Sur Land Trust and the Monterey County Housing and Community Development to restore historic Carmel River floodplain function (via removing Route 1 roadbed fill, elevating Route 1 on new bridge, opening up five notches along approx. .25-mile of river levee, and restoring approx. 100 acres of historic riparian corridor), create 23-acre agricultural preserve, develop 13,550 linear ft. of public access trails, and manage site to facilitate habitat, access, agricultural, and related resources on approx. .25-mile of Route 1 and roughly 135-acre “Odello East” property just south of Carmel River in unincorporated Carmel area of Monterey County. (AM-SC). ❧ Moved to Consent Calendar, APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS
I checked California Transportation Commission page for the results of the May and June 2022 meetings of the California Transportation Commission. As always, note that I tend not to track items that do not impact these pages — i.e., pavement rehabilitation or replacement, landscaping, drainage, culverts, roadside facilities, charging stations, or other things that do not impact the routing or history, unless they are really significant. As such, 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; ❧ indicates the results from the meeting, if the meeting minutes were available. ]
2.1a. STIP/SHOPP Program/Project Amendments
♠ (May) (1) SHOPP Amendments for Approval: Request to:

Improve curves and roadway cross slope, widen shoulders, and improve drainage. Note: The environmental and R/W risks that were identified during project initiation have been realized. The impacts to large diameter redwood trees have elevated the environmental document, which has delayed the completion of PA&ED. The project also requires a permit and an acquisition from the National Park Service which has a processing time of about 24 months after completion of PA&ED. The project is delayed by two years due to these reasons. Amendment: FY
23-2425-26. - (1d) #6. 01-Hum-299 R8.0/R8.8. PPNO 01-2535; ProjID 0120000032; EA 0J801. Route 299 Near Blue Lake, from 0.9 mile east to 1.7 miles east of Blue Lake Boulevard. Restore storm damaged roadway by relocating on a new alignment
and construct retaining wall. Note: The slope repair work at one of the locations in project EA 0H431/PPNO 01-2492 overlaps with this project. Due to ongoing geologic investigations, proximity and complexity of the two locations and the evolving repair strategy, the two locations are being combined into this project. This change is reflected in revised performance measures and scope description. The cost change will be addressed in future after the scope and design is more refined. - (1d) #26. 05-Mon-1 8.7/9.1. PPNO 05-2850; ProjID 0518000106; EA 1K020. Route 1 Near Gorda, from north of White Creek Bridge to 2.0 miles south of Los Burros Road. Realign highway, replace temporary safety features with permanent safety devices, and install erosion control measures.

Route 43 In Wasco, from Route 46 to south of Gromer Avenue. Improve safety by constructing a roundabout. Note: Delay project due to acquisition of contaminated parcels required for utility relocations which need to be completed on an adjacent High Speed Rail Authority (HSR) project before this project construction can begin. Increase construction capital due to increases in asphalt quantity. Increase right of way capital to account for escalation attributed to delivery delay. Amendments ($ × 1,000): FY 22-23 ⇒ 23-24; R/W Cap: $1,100 ⇒ $1,200; Const Cap $14,900 ⇒ $11,700; TOTAL $24,560 ⇒ $21,360.

395/108 Junction. Widen shoulders, install rumble strips, install wildlife crossing and fencing and correct superelevation at three curves. Note: Add wildlife crossing and fencing scope to project and description, which increases construction capital. Decrease R/W capital due to reduced environmental impacts, resulting in lower mitigation costs. Also, increases in unit cost of asphalt and in quantities of import borrow material and a required temporary realignment results in additional construction capital cost increases. Amendments ($ × 1,000): R/W Cap $1,855 ⇒ $1,366; Const Cap $12,567 ⇒ $16,854; TOTAL $20,060 ⇒ $23,858.
