Hale Ave (from Main
Ave to Spring Ave)
Project Description
Construct Hale Avenue between Main Avenue and DeWitt Avenue. This portion of the larger Santa Teresa
corridor does not currently exist but would provide a north-south arterial roadway alternative west of Monterey
Road through the downtown. The Hale Avenue extension is designed as a two lane (one in each direction) multi-
modal roadway. The project is 85% designed. To complete the project it will be necessary to finish the design,
purchase the necessary right-of-way, complete the CEQA processing, and build the roadway. In FY 15/16, the City
hired a consultant to prepare the necessary CEQA studies for the project. They are expected to be complete in
January 2017. For FY 16/17, staff will focus on finalizing the design and purchasing right of way from willing
sellers.
This project falls on the "Needed But Not Funded" list due to a shortfall of funding. Available Traffic Impact funds
will provide only 30% of required funding. To complete the project, a supplemental funding source will be
necessary. The project is being positioned to be a candidate for an eligible project in a County-wide
transportation ballot measure in November 2016. Should that measure succeed, proceeds will be available to
provide the 70% funding gap to complete the project. Staff will be utilizing Traffic Impact Funds to get the
project as "shovel ready" as possible. The timing of construction is dependent on the results and terms of the
proposed ballot measure.
