It’s been far too long since the last update. There’s really no excuse, other than the lack of time and lack of urgency. Weekends have been filled with other interests and chores, making it difficult to find a day or two to sit down in front of a screen all day to do the updates. These updates were started while on vacation — what else should I do while I sit in the hotel room while the wife sleeps in the morning? In some ways, it’s a throwback to college days, where I would always do programming projects while sitting in the hotel room at the beach in Maui. But then work interfered… and so I’m finishing them over Memorial Day weekend. So let’s get to it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I started the year with the usual change page changover. I’ve gone back to having each year’s change page having just a link to the current year and all past years. This is much easier than editing each year at the start of a new year to update the change list.<\/p>\n
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”<\/a> and to the California Highways Facebook group<\/a>) as well as any backed up email changes. I didn’t review the the AAroads forum<\/a> this time \u2014 it hasn’t been bringing much useful information, and a third of the year would be a lot of posts to review. I’ve given up on misc.transport.road. This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(1)<\/sup>, contributions of information or leads (via direct mail) from Frank Romano(2)<\/sup>, Tom Jones(3)<\/sup>]: Route\u00a01<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, I-5<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, Route\u00a012<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, Route\u00a029<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, Route\u00a039<\/a>(2)<\/sup>, Route G10(3)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Reviewed the Pending Legislation page<\/a>, based on the new California Legislature site<\/a>. As usual, I recommend to every <\/em>Californian that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their legis-critters are doing. Noted passage of the following items:<\/p>\n I checked the CTC Liaison page<\/a> for the results of the CTC meetings through May 2014. The following items were of interest (note: \u00b0 indicates items that were below the level of detail for updating the specific route pages) :<\/p>\n FREQUENTLY USED TERMS IN CTC MINUTES<\/b>: California Transportation Commission (Commission or CTC), California Department of Transportation (Department or Caltrans), Regional Improvement Program (RIP), Interregional Improvement Program (IIP), State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP), Traffic Congestion Relief Program (TCRP), Public Transportation Account (PTA), Clean Air and Transportation Improvement Act of 1990 (Proposition 116), High Speed Passenger Train Bond Program (Proposition 1A), Highway Safety, Traffic Re-duction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006 (Proposition 1B), Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA), State Route\u00a099<\/a> Bond Program (RTE or SR 99), Local Bridge Seismic Retrofit Account (LBSRA), Trade Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF), Highway-Railroad Crossing Safety Account (HRCSA), State-Local Partnership Program (SLPP), Traffic Light Synchronization Program (TLSP), Letter of No Prejudice (LONP), Environmental Phase (PA&ED), Design Phase (PS&E), Right of Way (R\/W), Fiscal Year (FY)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s been far too long since the last update.
