Summary: Wednesday, June 18, 2014 The Transportation Agency for Monterey County, or TAMC, is planning for the development of what they are calling a regional bus corridor, but the proposed corridor would also accommodate cars, bicyclists, and pedestrians. No new roads are being suggested; however, some existing roads would need to be widened in connection with the project. The recommended multimodal corridor would begin at the proposed Monterey Branch Line Light Rail station at 8th Street in Marina, then continue along 8th and 9th Streets to 2nd Avenue. The corridor would then head up 2nd Avenue to Imjin Parkway, and continue along Imjin Parkway to Reservation Road, then along Reservation Road to Davis Road. The County plans to widen Davis Road, and to construct a new Davis Road Bridge. That proposed road-widening project is in the preliminary design/environmental phase. At the intersection of Davis Road and Blanco Road, the multimodal corridor would shift East on Blanco Road to accesses Salinas via West Alisal Street and Lincoln Avenue to a downtown Transit Center. If you are familiar with this suggested route, you will understand that the proposed project could have impacts to agricultural land. TAMC is hoping to get feedback, and to address questions or concerns, at a meeting to be held this morning, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, at the Marina Community Library, 190 Seaside Avenue, in Marina.
