State Route 217



Routing
  1. From Route 101 near Ellwood to the campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB).

    Note: The state has authorized relinquishment of the portion of Route 217 from the westerly end of both the East Goleta Overhead and the Route 101/Route 217 separation structures to UCSB. Authorized by SB 532, Ch 1007, 10/10/99. This segment has not yet been relinquished, according to the CalTrans Photologs made available in 2001.


    Post 1964 Signage History

    This segment was not part of the 1963 definition of Route 217. It was added in 1965 by Chapter 1372 as “(a) Route 101 near Ellwood to the Goleta Campus of the University of California.”

    In 1968, Chapter 282 changed "Goleta Campus of the University of California" to "campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara".

     

    Pre 1964 Signage History

    This segment was not defined before 1963. The route was not signed before 1964.

     

    Status

    The route is unconstructed from Fowler Street to Route 101.


  2. From the campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) to Route 101 northwest of the City of Santa Barbara.


    Post 1964 Signage History

    In 1963, this segment was the entire route, and was defined as:

    “the Goleta Campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara to Route 101 northwest of the City of Santa Barbara.

    The commission shall allocate from the State Highway Fund the necessary funds for the construction of said route. The allocation of money provided for in this section shall be made out of moneys contained in the State Highway Fund available for construction of state highways in County Group No. 2, but which is not subject to Section 188.4; and expenditures from such allocation shall be credited against the expenditures required to be made pursuant to Section 188.4 in Santa Barbara County until June 30, 1963. This route shall be a memorial to the late Senator Clarence C. Ward of Santa Barbara County and shall hereafter be known as Clarence Ward Memorial Boulevard.”

    In 1965, Chapter 1371 deleted the text on funding, but the text was restored by Chapter 1372 that same year, which changed the funding text to refer to "Section (b) of this route" and added section (a).

    In 1968, Chapter 282 changed "Goleta Campus of the University of California" to "campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara"... and removed the funding text again.

     

    Pre 1964 Signage History

    This segment was LRN 236, defined in 1955. The route was not signed before 1964.

     

    Naming

    This section named the "Clarence Ward Memorial Boulevard". It was named by Assembly Bill 2718, Chapter 1953, in 1955. California State Senator Clarence C. Ward served the people of Santa Barbara County from 1941 to 1955.

State Route 219



Routing

From Route 99 at Salida easterly to Route 108.

 

Post 1964 Signage History

This routing in unchanged from its 1963 definition.

 

Pre 1964 Signage History

This route was LRN 13, defined in 1909. It may have originally been signed as Route 108.

 

Status

PPN 9940There are currently plans to widen this route in Stanislaus county. [May 2002 CTC Agenda, item 2.1b.(2); July 2002 CTC Agenda item 2.2c.(8)] According to the July and September 2006 agendas, the project, as currently scoped, will widen Route 219 to four lanes from Post Miles (PM) 0.1 to 4.9. In March 2005, an updated cost estimate placed R/W capital at $42 million and Construction capital at $33 million. The increase in R/W was due to the rise in property values, including the right of way needed to accommodate estimated traffic capacity based on an updated traffic analysis. Due to funding constraints, and the result of a Value Analysis Study, the Department of Transportation, StanCOG, and local officials reduced the scope of the project by splitting it into two phases. Phase 1 will extend from PM 0.1 to 2.9 and be fully programmed through construction. The scope of the work for Phase 1 includes acquiring right of way for an ultimate six- lane facility, widening the highway from two to four- lanes, and upgrading intersections with local roads. As part of the intersection improvements, an additional receiving lane and a right-turn lane will be added at the intersection of Route 219 and Sisk Road. Phase 1 will be ready for construction during the Summer of 2007. Phase 2 will extend through the remainder of the original scope, from PM 2.9 to 4.9, and be funded at a later date. In 2007, the Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA) was recommended to fund $14,760K to widen this route to 4-lanes from Route 99 to Marrow Rd, and $18,813K to widen the route to four lanes from Marrow Rd to Route 108.

The SAFETEA-LU act, enacted in August 2005 as the reauthorization of TEA-21, provided the following expenditures on or near this route:

  • High Priority Project #1230: Improve Route 219 to four-lanes in Modesto, Riverbank and Oakdale. $1,600,000.

  • High Priority Project #3801: Improve Route 219 to four-lanes in Modesto, Riverbank and Oakdale. This seems to be supplemental funding for HPP #1230. $4,000,000.

 

 


Overall statistics for Route 219:

  • Total Length (1995): 5 miles
  • Average Daily Traffic (1992): 12,200 to 14,300
  • Milage Classification: Rural: 0; Sm. Urban: 0; Urbanized: 5.
  • Previous Federal Aid Milage: FAS: 5 mi.
  • Functional Classification: Minor Arterial: 5 mi.
  • Counties Traversed: Stanislaus.

 

Pre-1964 Legislative Route

This route number appears not to have been assigned by the California Legislature before the 1963 renumbering.

State Route 220



Routing

From Route 84 on Ryer Island to Route 160.

 

Post 1964 Signage History

This routing is unchanged from its 1963 definition.

 

Pre 1964 Signage History

This was LRN 100, defined in 1933.

 

Status

There is confirmation of signs at the junction with Route 160, both on Route 220 itself and on Route 160. The route includes the J-Mack Ferry at Steamboat Slough (which is unsigned, unlike the Route 84 Ferry). The J-Mack is a cable ferry; i.e. it runs along a cable just under the water's surface.

 


Overall statistics for Route 220:

  • Total Length (1995): 6 miles
  • Average Daily Traffic (1992): 300 to 830
  • Milage Classification: Rural: 6; Sm. Urban: 0; Urbanized: 0.
  • Previous Federal Aid Milage: FAS: 6 mi.
  • Functional Classification: Collector: 6 mi.
  • Counties Traversed: Sacramento, Solano.

 

Pre-1964 Legislative Route

This route number appears not to have been assigned by the California Legislature before the 1963 renumbering.


State Shield

State Route 221



Routing

From Route 29 near Soscol Road to Route 121 at Imola Avenue in Napa.

 

Post 1964 Signage History

In 1963, Route 221 was defined as "Route 29 to Route 121 near Napa." Based on what is shown as a proposed routing on the 1963 state highway map, this was likely a planned freeway bypass N of Napa along either Trancas St or Lincoln Av. This may have been a routing for LRN 6.

In 1984, Chapter 409 completely rerouted Route 221, redefining it as "Route 29 near Suscol Road to Route 121 at Imola Avenue in Napa." This change deleted the portion between the original two termini (indicating abandonment of the proposed routing), and the portion from Route 29 near Soscol Road to Route 121 at Imola Avenue was transferred from Route 29. This is a former segment of Route 29 that was bypassed by the Napa River Bridge and the new freeway in the early 1980s. The state wanted to relinquish it; but local authorities didn't want it and it remained in the State Highway System but was renumbered Route 221.

In 1990, Chapter 1187 changed ""Suscol" to "Soscol"

 

Pre 1964 Signage History

This was part of LRN 8, defined in 1909. It was originally signed as part of Route 29. The segment was previously cosigned as Route 12/Route 29.

 

Freeway

[SHC 253.1] Entire route. Added to the Freeway and Expressway system in 1959.

 

Scenic Highway

[SHC 263.1] Entire route.

 


Overall statistics for Route 221:

  • Total Length (1995): 3 miles
  • Average Daily Traffic (1992): 21,200 to 32,500
  • Milage Classification: Rural: 0; Sm. Urban: 0; Urbanized: 3.
  • Previous Federal Aid Milage: FAP: 3 mi.
  • Functional Classification: Prin. Arterial: 3 mi.
  • Counties Traversed: Napa.

 

Pre-1964 Legislative Route

In 1947 (1st Ex Sess), Chapter 11 defined this route as “A point on [LRN 60] near Los Angeles Airport to a point on [LRN 165] between Santa Barbara and Slauson Avenues”

In 1953, Chapter 1836 relaxed the description and extended the route: “A point on [LRN 60] near The Los Angeles International Airport to a point on [LRN 165], the Harbor Freeway, between Santa Barbara Avenue and Florence Slauson Avenues

In 1959, Chapter 1062 truncated the route back to [LRN 60] (Route 1), and extended the terminus to [LRN 170] (I-605): “[LRN 60] northwest of the Los Angeles International Airport to [LRN 170] a point on [LRN 165], the Harbor Freeway, between Santa Barbara Avenue and Florence Avenue

This route runs from Route 1 to Route 605, and is most of the proposed/partially constructed Route 90 freeway. A submission of proposed freeways listed LRN 221 as running from the Ocean Freeway (LRN 60) to the San Diego Freeway, and being the Manhattan Freeway, but that doesn't correspond to the 1947 or 1959 routings.


Unsigned

Unsigned State Route 222



Routing

From Route 101 near Ukiah easterly to East Side Road in Talmage.

 

Post 1964 Signage History

In 1963, this was defined as "Route 101 near Ukiah to the west line of the grounds of the Mendocino State Hospital."

In 1981, Chapter 292 changed the definition to "Route 101 near Ukiah easterly to East Side Road in Talmadge the west line of the grounds of the Mendocino State Hospital".

In 1990, Chapter 1187 changed "Talmadge" to "Talmage"

 

Pre 1964 Signage History

This route was part of LRN 70, defined in 1925. It was unsigned.

 

Status

There are no state signs, but the route does have postmiles. The primary justification for this route being in the system was the State Hospital, which is now a Buddhist Temple.

 


Overall statistics for Route 222:

  • Total Length (1995): 2 miles
  • Average Daily Traffic (1992): 4,350 to 8,500

  • Previous Federal Aid Milage: FAU: 2 mi.
  • Functional Classification: Minor Arterial: 2 mi.
  • Counties Traversed: Mendocino.

 

Pre-1964 Legislative Route

In 1947 (1st Ex Sess), Chapter 11 defined LRN 222 as “[LRN 165] near Adams Street to [LRN 205] near Elysian Park in Los Angeles”. This routing remained unchanged until the 1963 renumbering. The route ran from US 6 (later I-110) near Adams Street to US 66 near Elysian Park in Los Angeles. This was part of the proposed "East Bypass" routing along a route slightly E of Main Street. It was part of the 1964-1965 incarnation of Route 241. It was never constructed, and is not currently part of the state highway system.

In the 1955 trafficways plan, it was shown as "Deleted, pending further study".

Between 1968 and 1972, this route was Route 241 (note that LRN 222 was the 1964-1965 Route 241).
