Left Side Ramp Safety
Accident data shows superior safety compared to 5 right hand ramps –Milpas, Garden, Castillo, Carrillo, Mission
Familiarity & virtually exclusive local use keep it safe

Caltrans HOV (Carpool) Lanes
STARTS at the most constrained point
Requires a forced merge and lane elimination in less than ½ mile on a curve going into a narrow underpass

Unaddressed Safety and Congestion Issues
Olive Mill southbound on ramp short merge
San Ysidro southbound off ramp congestion
San Ysidro/Posilipo southbound on ramp safety

Community Coalition Questions – Does it:
Minimize time required for construction?
Minimize disruption to local roads & regional businesses?
Spend the money wisely?
Solve the congestion problem?

Next StepsCaltrans plan has significant and
unanswered questions – cannot go forward as presented
Request Caltrans include a full analysis of the alternative in a recirculated Draft EIR
If justified, support design exceptions for:Retention of southbound left side ramps
Relocation of the start of the HOV lane
