Project Update 10-30-2024
Project design is complete and the project has received a Local Coastal Development Permit from the City of Pacifica Planning Commission. The current schedule is to bid the project for construction bids in November 2024, open bids in December 2024, and commence construction in winter/spring 2025.
The Sharp Park Priority Development Area (PDA) Pedestrian Improvement Project (Project) will close sidewalk gaps, improve sidewalk to current ADA standards, install new ADA compliant driveways and corner curb ramps, install curb and gutter to improve storm water management, remove and replace failed pavement, install Bicycle Boulevard (Paloma) and pedestrian crossing striping, and resurface roads with slurry seal along Paloma Avenue, Carmel Avenue and Santa Maria Avenue from Francisco Boulevard to Beach Boulevard.
The new driveways and sidewalks will provide an ADA compliant path of travel within the project area and provide a vital link for pedestrians and bicyclists from the eastern residential neighborhood of Pacifica to the Sharp Park district, Palmetto business area, Pacifica Civic Center, two schools, the Sharp Park Library, and the popular Sharp Park Beach and Pacifica Pier. Furthermore, the pavement improvements will aid bicyclists and pedestrians by remove tripping hazards while also installing up to date and improved pavement striping for a safer overall experience.
The project is being funded by the City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) of San Mateo County through Measure M, approved by San Mateo County voters in 2010, and with federal funding through the One Bay Area Grant program administered by Caltrans.
