 Plan For The Roads Ahead

City of Milpitas Long Range Transportation Projects:

The Santa Clara County Valley Transportation Plan (VTP) 2020 is the countywide plan for transportation funding and service decisions for Santa Clara County for the next twenty years. The plan will include a prioritized list of transportation projects, as well as long-range strategic recommendations for land use and transportation policies. The City of Milpitas is considering the following projects to be included in VTP 2020.

CALAVERAS BOULEVARD WIDENING -

The existing two bridges between Milpitas Blvd and Abel Street would be replaced with a six-lane bridge complete with 10’ sidewalks and 6’ bike lanes. Auxillary lanes between Abel Street and I-880 together with operational improvements at the Abel Street and Abbott Avenue intersections would be added to insure smooth transitions and continuous bike lanes. Approximate cost = $40 million

DIXON LANDING ROAD WIDENING -

This facility is currently primarily four lanes wide and serves as a secondary commute corridor between the I-680 and I-880 freeways. With completion of the Dixon Landing/I880 interchange reconstruction project, scheduled in early 2004, widening Dixon Landing Road between I-880 to Milpitas Blvd to six lanes with sidewalks and bike lanes would further reduce traffic congestion. Approximate cost = $6.0 million

DIXON/MILPITAS INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS -

This facility is currently primarily four lanes wide and serves as a secondary commute corridor between the I-680 and I-880 freeways. With completion of the Dixon Landing/I880 interchange reconstruction project, scheduled in early 2004, widening Dixon Landing Road between I-880 to Milpitas Blvd to six lanes with sidewalks and bike lanes would further reduce traffic congestion. Approximate cost = $6.0 million

MONTAGUE/GREAT MALL-CAPITOL AVENUE URBAN INTERCHANGE -

This intersection has been operating at congested levels of service “F” since 1991. A grade separation of the Great Mall-Capitol through lanes over Montague Expressway would greatly enhance capacity and maintain compatibility with the existing elevated light rail structure and future BART. The resultant at-grade signalized intersection on Montague Expressway would accommodate a partial frontage road and left turn lanes. Approximate cost = $40 million
