The SBCAG Board authorized $60,000 in Regional Measure D funding to provide improvements to the Highway 135/Clark Avenue (West) Park and Ride Lot in Orcutt. In partnership with Caltrans, the Regional Measure D funding will be used resurface the existing spaces, provide twenty additional parking spaces, include new lighting for the existing and additional spaces and will install new bicycle lockers. Caltrans will provide the engineering and construction management staff resources for the project. The improvements are scheduled to begin in the summer of 2008.
The Route 135/Clark Avenue (West) Park and Ride Lot in Orcutt is one of many Park and Lots operated by Caltrans in District 5. The Park and Ride lot offers a convenient and safe location in Orcutt to transfer from a single passenger vehicle to the Breeze Bus, carpool, or vanpool. The Route 135/Clark Avenue (West) Park and Ride Lot is so heavily used that regular users have contacted Caltrans and SBCAG Traffic Solutions to express concern that there are times when the lot reaches maximum capacity. In fact, a member of the public submitted a petition with 35 signatures to the SBCAG Board at its January meeting requesting improvements to the lot, including additional spaces.
