🛣 Changes to the California Highway Website covering Nov-Dec 2023

It’s time for the last highway page update for 2023. A number of changes here were driven by research for the last two episodes of season 2 of the podcast (which I’m writing right now), as well as from headlines. So, as always, “ready, set, discuss”. I’ll probably start on the next round of updates come Presidents Day in February.

This update covers November and December 2023, and perhaps some of January 2024, depending on how long it takes me to finish the last little bits. Before we dive into the updates to the California Highways site, an update on the California Highways: Route by Route podcast. As always, you can keep up with the show at the podcast’s forever home at https://www.caroutebyroute.org , the show’s page on Spotify for Podcasters, or you can subscribe through your favorite podcaster or via the RSS feeds (CARxRSpotify for Podcasters) . The following episodes have been posted since the last update:

Turning to the updates to the California Highways pages: Updates were made to the following highways, based on my reading of the (virtual) papers and my research for the podcast in November and December 2023 (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). This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(ℱ), contributions of information or leads (via direct mail or ꜲRoads) from Tom Fearer(2)Plutonic Panda(3)rte66man(4): Route 1(ℱ), Route 2(ℱ), Route 11(ℱ), I-15(ℱ), Route 20(ℱ), Route 24(ℱ), Route 29(ℱ), Route 31(2), Route 33(ℱ), Route 37(ℱ), Route 46(ℱ), Route 64(ℱ), I-80(ℱ), Route 94(2), Route 99(ℱ), US 101(ℱ), Route 117(2), Route 121(ℱ), Route 154(ℱ), Route 160(ℱ), Capitol Southeast Corridor (Route 148)(4), Route 199(ℱ), Route 222(ℱ), Route 258(ℱ), US 399(ℱ), I-405(ℱ), I-580(ℱ), I-710(3).

Research for Episodes 2.11 and 2.12 of the podcast, on Route 2, resulted in updates to Route 2, US 66, LRN 61, LRN 162, LRN 165, and LRN 188.

Added links to the Metro Dorothy Payne Grey Transportation Library Primary Resources blog’s series on Past Visions of Los Angeles’ Transportation Future to the History of Southern California Freeway Development page.

Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site, for bills through 2023-12-25. 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 State Assembly and Senate are still in their Fall recess, and there are no new bills introduced.

Reviewed the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission. This covered the December meeting. The following items were of interest:

  • 12b. December 2023 Application No. 1-23-0773 (Caltrans, South Broadway Complete Streets, Eureka, US 101)

I checked California Transportation Commission page for the results of the December 2023 meeting 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

♠ (1) SHOPP Amendments for Approval: Request to:
(Related Items under Ref. 2.5b.(1), 2.5b.(2), 2.5b.(3), 2.5d.(1), and 2.5e.(12))

  • Add 32 new projects into the 2022 SHOPP.  (2.1a.(1a) and 2.1a.(1b))
  • Revise 112 projects currently programmed in the 2022 SHOPP.  ((2.1a.(1d), 2.1a.(1f) and 2.1a.(1g))

Of these, the following projects/allocation were at the level of interest for the highway pages (general, these are significant new structures or changes, as opposed to repair or rehabilitation in place; additions of bike paths, pedestrian, or complete street elements; or non-visible changes). A lot of the December updates were responses to: (1) the storms in February and March 2023, and the subsequent reassessment of storm damage in August 2023 — rehabilitation of storm damaged pavement; (2) repairs from August wildfire damage and subsequent slides; and (3) vandalism of cables and wiring — which does not rise to the level of interest for the highway pages. If the item is more long-lasting or significant (such as the slides in the Big Sur area), then they are noted. “⊘” indicates phase not programmed.

  • (1a) #21. 08-SBd-127 0.89/41.47. PPNO 08-3023F; ProjID 0824000089; EA 1P700.

  1. Exploring California highways offers a window into the state’s transportation infrastructure and history. What are some notable features or milestones in California highway development that you find particularly fascinating?

    1. You can pretty well figure them out by going through the chronology of the state highway system, which you can find on the highway pages at https://www.cahighways.org/chronlgy.html . Off the top of my head, I’d say:

      1919 and the first bond bill
      1926 and the introduction of the US highway system
      1934-1935, with the introduction of state sign routes and the legislative codification of the highway system
      1959, and the creation of the freeway and expressway system
      1964, and the great renumbering
      1970s, with the introduction of the CEQA and the creation of Caltrans
