From Cal Trans Engineer, the same one in charge of the viaduct a couple years ago:

Hi Kate,

I’m working on a project on Highway 1 between Hurricane Point and Rocky Creek (about 1.5 miles in length).  It’s main purpose is to improve safety by widening the lanes and shoulders to 12’ and 4’ respectively.  A hearing for the Coastal Development Permit is scheduled for Thursday, May 10, 2018at the County Administration Center Board of Supervisors Chambers, 575 Administration Dr., Santa Rosa, CA 95403.  The meeting agenda and the Coastal Commission’s “Staff Report” can be found at the following site:

Information about the environmental impacts can be found at the following Caltrans site:

I was wondering if you could help me get the word out and emphasize that now is the time to comment or ask questions on the project or permit.  Below is a photo of the notice that was recently posted at the proposed project site.  It has some additional contact information:

If the permit is approved I estimate construction would start around March of 2019.  Thank you!
