Public meetings set for 2023 to address potential upgrade to Mission Boulevard
Q: Maybe this question has been asked many times before and beaten to death.
Why can’t Caltrans construct a signal-free connector between Interstates 680 and 880? This would be similar to 238 connecting 580 and 880, but much shorter.A: There is a project in the planning stages to upgrade Mission Boulevard, or State Route 262, as it is also known, to a freeway that would eliminate needing to have regional traffic stop at traffic signals at Warm Springs and Mohave in Fremont.
Caltrans has approved a concept plan for the project that includes having SR 262 either elevated over the local streets or placed in a trench below the local streets. An environmental review of the project and an alternative analysis is underway. Public meetings are expected to occur in 2023. Fremont supports the project because the wall of traffic along Mission Boulevard limits the local circulation of people walking, bicycling, using transit and driving in the area. This road is also a hot spot for traffic crashes. There have been four fatalities in the area in the recent past, with two pedestrian fatalities occurring at the Warm Springs/Mission intersection.
Q: Yikes! Returning from a Big Bike Build in Pleasanton on Saturday around 1:30 p.m., we came upon a field of taillights on 680 south, approaching the Sunol Grade. Caltrans trucks with flashing lights passed traffic on the shoulder. When we got closer, the two right lanes were coned off, there were several CHP officers on the scene, numerous tow trucks and a lot of disabled cars on the shoulder. The cause? A huge pothole probably 2 x 4 feet and a couple of feet deep.
