Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
a. Receive a presentation from the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) on the Marina-Salinas Multimodal Corridor Plan; and
b. Support the conceptual corridor alignment as part of the Multimodal Corridor Planning process.
SUMMARY:
The 1997 Fort Ord Base Reuse Plan (BRP) included an alignment for a multi-modal right of way from State Route One (SR1) to 8th Street and Imjin Parkway in Marina and then Blanco Road and Davis Road in Monterey County. In 2010, a revised alignment was accepted to relocate the alignment generally along Intergarrison Road to Reservation Road and then Davis Road to the Salinas city limits. The California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) and the City of Marina requested consideration of a revised alignment that avoids a path through the campus and more directly serves development in Marina.
Over the past year TAMC has been coordinating with the affected agencies, jurisdictions, and property owners to identify a preferred conceptual alignment for the multimodal corridor. On April 30, 2014 the Planning Commission received a presentation and voted to support the conceptual alignment. On May 12, 2014, the Fort Ord Committee received a presentation and authorized staff to present the conceptual alignment to the Board of Supervisors for consideration. Since that time, the City of Marina selected a preferred alternative alignment through Marina that starts on 8th Street near the Monterey Branch Line right-of-way, continues along 8th Street to 9th Street and up 2nd Avenue through the Dunes development area to Imjin Parkway, rather than running along the north edge of the CSUMB campus.
