Implementing the Regional
Vision Along Multi-Modal, Multi-Jurisdictional Corridors
Funded, in part, by
grants from Caltrans and the Haas Foundation, ABAG, with local partners, is
exploring opportunities to improve the transportation/land-use connection and
achieve the regional Vision along three major Bay Area corridors: East
14th/International Boulevard, El Camino Real, and San Pablo Avenue. This work
is an example of the important role regional planning agencies can play in
networking local initiatives in coordination with regional objectives. ABAG
staff (Janet McBride and Christy Riviere) will describe the intent,
organization and operation of the regional corridors program. Local partners
will talk about opportunities and issues for each corridor and report progress
to date. Speakers include Assemblywomen Loni Hancock (San Pablo Avenue);
Walter Martone, representing the San Mateo City/County Association of
Governments (El Camino Real); and Stuart Cohen from the Transportation Land
Use Coalition (East 14th /International Boulevard).

Planning Program approved by the JPC at its last meeting along with a
