WHAT:
Celebrate the conclusion of the Half Moon Bay Highway Improvement Project.

WHEN:
10 a.m., Tuesday, Sept. 9

WHERE:
The event will be held in the parking lot of the New Leaf Community Market shopping center, located at the intersection of Highways 92 and 1.

WHY:
Highway 92 crosses two main arterials at the entrance to Half Moon Bay – Main Street and Highway 1. This project reconfigured these busy intersections.

At the intersection with Main Street, Highway 92 was widened from two to four lanes. A second right-turn lane for traffic turning onto Main Street was added to eastbound Highway 92. A new right-turn lane also was added to westbound Highway 92 for traffic turning onto North Main Street. A second left-turn lane was added to Highway 1 for traffic turning onto Highway 92. In addition, bike lanes and sidewalks were added to Main Street.

The improvements are the result of a partnership between Half Moon Bay and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority, which provided more than $12 million in Measure A half-cent sales tax funding for the improvements.

WHO:
Speakers include:
Rosanne Foust, chair, San Mateo County Transportation Authority
Bonnie McClung, mayor, Half Moon Bay
Deborah C. Gordon, chair, C/CAG
