Proposed “Double Couplet” from Broadway Multimodal Corridor Plan
For over 10 years, the Humboldt County Association of Governments, the City of Eureka and Caltrans have been looking at ways to improve the Broadway corridor to make it prettier, less congested, and most importantly, safer. And, once again, the public will have a chance to comment on the latest proposed Broadway Multimodal Corridor Plan during HCAOG’s board meeting on Thursday.
Planners have looked at many different approaches to addressing Broadway’s safety and traffic issues and have identified the controversial Double Couplet Option which proposes building two new segments of one-way road to the west of Broadway as the preferred plan. One of the couplets would run between Fourth Street and Koster Avenue, passing through the area known as the Balloon Track, and the other would run between Hawthorne Street and the Bayshore Mall.
Following storms over the weekend and with more snow in the forecast for this week, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has made the call to close Monitor, Ebbetts and Sonora passes for the winter season.
The passes had been closed temporarily since early November, when the first winter storm of the season covered the roadways in snow.
âSeveral factors influence the temporary closing, opening and seasonal closures of our mountain pass roadways,â a statement from Caltrans reads. âStorms, accumulation of snow and overall road conditions are all considered in the decision-making process.â
Monitor Pass on State Route 89 is closed from its junction with State Route 4 in Alpine County to its junction with U.S. Route 395 in Mono County.
