The San Mateo County Transportation Authority on Oct. 4 granted Pacifica $4 million for Highway 1 traffic congestion relief and $3.5 million to widen San Pedro Creek.
Pacifica’s two projects received the fourth highest total amount of funding amongst 27 applications from various cities and agencies in the count. The funds will go toward widening the existing four-lane Highway-1 to six lanes between Fassler Avenue and Reina Del Mar.
An additional $3.5 million will widen San Pedro Creek under the new bridge to eliminate flood hazards. A bike and pedestrian path will be added to the new bridge.
The Transportation Authority ultimately awarded $82.7 million for 23 projects around San Mateo County.

The broad mix of projects includes some that will begin construction within the next 18 months and others that are various stages of planning.
“By programming funds for future projects we are building a ‘pipeline’ that will set the course for our capital improvement program for the next 25 years,” said Authority Chair Carole Groom.
Funds are coming from Measure A, a voter-approved half-cent sales tax for county transportation projects and programs back in 1988.
