Location 17 Mile Drive/Holman Highway 68/Highway 1 City or County Responsible for Project City of Monterey Category Roads: Efficient and Sustainable Road Maintenance, Construction and Reconstruction Projects. Author Andrea Renny, PE, PTOE Organization City of Monterey Address 580 Pacific Street – Monterey, CA 93940 Phone (831) 646-3705 Project Description The Holman Highway 68 Roundabout was designed to relieve congestion at the busy intersection of Holman Highway 68, southbound Highway 1 ramps, and 17 Mile Drive near the entrance to Pebble Beach and the area’s only Community Hospital. The selected improvements featured two closely spaced roundabouts, one of which is a “teardrop” roundabout located at the access point to 17 Mile Drive. The roundabout solution addressed all of the unique characteristics of the area including congestion mitigation leading to reduced vehicle idling times and Greenhouse Gas Emissions due to eliminating traffic signals and stop signs. It improved response times and access

Location Mansell Street from Dublin St to University St City or County Responsible for Project San Francisco Category Complete Streets Projects Author David Froehlich Organization San Francisco Public Works Address 30 Van Ness Ave, 5th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94102 Phone 415-558-4041 Project Description Mansell Street was conceived in the 1950’s as part of a never-completed cross-town freeway. By design, Mansell Street primarily served motorized vehicles. The width of the traffic lanes and three different speed limits posted encourage speeding. Pedestrians had to walk on the street or climb over a guard rail and walk along an informal path to access different park facilities or to commute between neighborhoods. Bicyclists also had to share the road with vehicles travelling at speeds up to 45 MPH, and public transit users had to wait on the street for a bus. Mansell Street from University Street to Brazil Avenue, and continuing onto Persia

Location Various locations City or County Responsible for Project City of Orinda Category Roads: Efficient and Sustainable Road Maintenance, Construction and Reconstruction Projects. Author Larry Theis Organization City of Orinda Address 22 Orinda way, Orinda CA 94563 Phone 925-253-4260 Project Description The City of Orinda needed to fix their failed pavements (PCI=41) with a sustainable and smart process. It was a big project with 92.7 miles of pavement. The City passed measures J & L that allowed the program to be funded. The next step was to implement the best and most sustainable technology available to fix their roads. The only solution was Full Depth Reclamation (FDR). FDR pulverizes the existing pavement section, then adds cement, water and recompacts the stabilized section into a perfect base section. It’s stronger and essentially impermeable to water intrusion. The finished product is a perpetual pavement section that only needs the wearing surfaced maintained.
