San Lorenzo Valley / Highway 9 Corridor Plan
Would you walk and bike on Highway 9 if it were safer? The Regional Transportation Commission has drafted a plan to do just that. They're proposing improvements on the section of Highway 9 that connects the towns of Felton, Ben Lomond, Brookdale, and Boulder Creek and parallel and connecting streets, roadways, and paths.
The following list is the SLV / Hwy 9 Corridor Plan identified projects, each with potential variations.
- Improved bicycle and pedestrian connection – Henry Cowell State Park to Felton
- More organized parking/frontage in downtown Felton
- Bicycle and pedestrian access at Graham Hill Road intersection
- Bicycle and pedestrian connection to SLV schools from central Felton
- Transit and sidewalk access improvements SLV school entrance to Fall Creek Drive
- Improved bicycle and pedestrian connection from schools north to El Solyo Heights Drive
- Crossing and Pedestrian Improvements at/to Mill Street/Highway 9 in Ben Lomond
- Pathway on SW side of SR 9 from Quality Inn/bridge south to Mill Street in Ben Lomond
- Add crosswalk bulb-outs in downtown Boulder Creek
- Sidewalk seating and storefront improvements in downtown Boulder Creek
