2026 Changes
September 2026:
This update covers July, August, and September 2026. Before we dive into
the updates to the California Highways site, an update on the California Highways: Route by Route podcast. As always, you can keep up with the show at the podcast's forever home at https://www.caroutebyroute.org , the show's page on Spotify for Podcasters, or you can subscribe through your favorite podcaster or via the RSS feeds (CARxR, Spotify for Podcasters). The following episodes have been posted since the last update on June 27,
2026:
- July | CA RxR 4.13: Route 14: The Antelope Valley Freeway. Episode 4.13 continues our exploration of Route 14, picking up from the end of
the first segment at I-5, and continuing to the junction with US 395
near Inyokern. As usual, along the way, we explore the history of the
route, the conversion to freeway, major projects on the route, and
naming along the route. This includes a detailed exploration of the
start of the route in the Newhall Pass and Solemint area. It also
includes an exploration of the “Aerospace Highway” name, and
all the firsts that occurred at Edwards AFB and the test center next to
the highway. Ep. 4.13 marks the end of the main episodes of Season 4,
although we do have a couple of bonus episodes planned for the season
break to tide you over. The first bonus episode, 4.14, covers New Idria
Road and Hites Cove Road, which are mining roads in San Benito and
Mariposa counties. (Spotify for Creators)
- July | CA RxR 4.14: Bonus: New Idria Road and Hites Cove Road. Episode 4.14 is the first of two bonus episodes. It tells the story of
the corridors of New Idria Road and Hites Cove Road. Both of these
historic highway corridors lead to mining in Central California. This
episode is based off blogs released on Gribblenation during October 2025
and May 2026. New Idria Road is an approximately 21.5-mile rural highway
located in the Diablo Range of San Benito County. It branches off of
Panoche Road, and winds its way south-ish through the Diablo range to
the ghost mining town of Idria, continuing as Clear Creek Road. Hites
Cove Road is an approximately seven-mile rural highway corridor located
in the Sierra Nevada range of Mariposa County, south of Route 140, and
west of El Portal. Hites Cove, and its successor forest and OHV trail
roads, leads to the ghost town of Hites Cove on the south fork of the
Merced River. Two interesting stories about two interesting ghost towns.
Next up: Our second bonus episode to close out Season 4: A roundtable
discussion with Adam Prince and Doug Kerr as we celebrate the 25th
anniversary of the start of Gribblenation. (Spotify for Creators)
- August | CA RxR 4.15: Bonus: 25 Years of Gribblenation. Episode 4.15 is the second of two bonus episodes. The year 2026 marks 25 years since
Adam Prince, Doug Kerr, and Brian LeBlanc started the website. This
episode features a discussion with Daniel, Tom (a Gribblenation
contributor), Adam, and Doug about the past, present, and future of
Gribblenation. Learn the story of how the site came to be, how the name
was chosen, the hiccups along the way, and where the site is today. More
importantly, learn the philosophy behind Gribblenation: To not only tell
the facts and the history of the roads, but to tell the stories behind
the roads. Next update: Coming sometime in late September 2026 will be
Season 5 of the podcast, starting with the story of Route 15 and I-15
between San Diego and Temecula. (Spotify for Creators)
- September | CA RxR 5.01: I-15 (Part 1): South of Temecula. Welcome to Season 5. We start the season with three episodes covering Route 15. The
first (this episode), covers LRN 15, Sign Route 15, and today’s
Route 15 between San Diego and Temecula. LRN 15 ran from what is now
Route 1 near Fort Bragg to what is today’s I-80 near Emigrant Gap;
it is today’s Route 20. Sign Route 15 is what became Route 7 and
later I-710, and is today’s Long Beach Freeway. We have some
interesting exploration of the ends of Sign Route 15 in Pasadena and
Long Beach. We then turn to the main focus of the episode: Route 15,
which runs from San Diego to the Nevada border, and has a complicated
history. So complicated, in fact, that this episode focuses only on the
portion between San Diego and Temecula, exploring both former Route 103
and US 395, as well as the transition from US 395 to today’s I-15
routing. Episode 5.02 will cover Temecula to Devore, and explore the
history of I-15, I-15E, I-215, Route 71, US 91, US 395, and Route 194.
Lastly, Episode 5.03 will cover Devore to Nevada, including I-15, US 395, US 66, US 91, and US 466 (with a bit of Route 195 and US 95 thrown
in). (Spotify for Creators)
Turning to the updates to the California Highways pages: Updates were
made to the following highways, based on my reading of the (virtual)
papers and my research for the fifth season of the podcast in July,
August, and September 2026 (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum (Ꜳ). This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(ℱ), contributions

Continued work on Season 5 of the Route by Route podcast. Research for
and preparation of the episodes posted or written during this period
resulted in changes and updates to the following routes: I-15, Route 16,
Route 17, Route 18, Route 19, Route 30, Route 38, US 66, Route 71, Route 79, Sign Route 83, Route 85, US 91, US 95, Route 103, Route 130, Route 163, Route 164, Route 195, Route 206, I-210, Route 214, I-215, Route 238,

Added some more GIS resources to the maps page. As a reminder: The California Highways Maps Page is often your best
starting point for map-based research into California Highways. If readers
are aware of any additional map-based resources I should add to that page,
please let me know.
Updated Chargeable and Non-Chargeable Interstates and the Introduction to Interstate Highway Types pages to discuss the current funding
formulas, and to clarify that the chargeable/non-chargeable distinction is
more historic and less applicable today. Hat tip to Rothman
on AARoads in this discussion for making me aware of the need to do another update pass on those pages.
Reviewed the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission for the July through September meetings. The following items were of interest:
- September (Weds): Agenda Item 12.a. September 2026 Progress
Report on the Caltrans Eureka-Arcata Hwy 101 Corridor Sea Level Rise
Adaptation Plan. Informational update on Caltrans District
1’s progress on preparing a comprehensive adaptation plan for
protecting, relocating, or otherwise adapting the Eureka-Arcata US 101
Corridor improvements authorized under CDP № 1-18-1078 to address
anticipated sea level rise related flooding hazards.
Note that I also reviewed the CCC archives for information related to
Camp Hess Kramer in Malibu. This was combined with other research, and led
to a blog entry: "A Pre-History of Camp Hess Kramer". This blog explores the history of camp property prior to the acquisition of the land by Wilshire
Blvd Temple, including the history of Rindge Family ownership. I'm still
looking for more information, particularly related to the history of the
Yerba Buena School, the construction of Yerba Buena Road, and the
construction of Decker Canyon Road (Route 23). The blog post also includes
information on the future of Camp Hess Kramer and its sister camp, Gindling Hilltop Camp, as well as some records research. The post is also linked on the page for Route 1.
Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site, for bills through 2026-10-01. As usual, I recommend to every Californian
that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their
legis-critters are doing. As many people are unfamiliar with how the
legislature operates (and why there are so many "non-substantive changes"
and "gut and amend" bills), I've added the legislative calendar (updated for 2026) to the end of the Pending Legislation page. This is early in the even-numbered year session, so
there's a lot of introduction of placeholder bills, and a lot of amending
of those placeholder bills (and bills that remained active from the
previous year). Noted the passage of the following bills / resolutions (I
also identified a number of errors in bills and resolutions, and submitted
comments as indicated):
- AB 686 (Berman) Elections: deceptive audio or visual media.
Existing law, until January 1, 2027, prohibits a person, committee,
or other entity, within 60 days of an election at which a candidate
for elective office will appear on the ballot, from distributing with
actual malice materially deceptive audio or visual media of the
candidate with the intent to injure the candidate’s reputation
or to deceive a voter into voting for or against the candidate, unless
the media includes a disclosure stating that the media has been
manipulated, subject to specified exemptions.
Existing law, until January 1, 2027, authorizes a candidate for
elective office whose voice or likeness appears in audio or visual
media distributed in violation of this section to seek injunctive or
other equitable relief prohibiting the distribution of the deceptive
audio or visual media; authorizes a candidate whose voice or likeness
appears in the deceptive audio or visual media to bring an action for
general or special damages against the person, committee, or other
entity that distributed the media; and authorizes the court to award a
prevailing party reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. A court
is required to place such proceedings on the calendar in the order of
their date of filing and give them precedence.
This bill would extend the repeal date of these provisions to January
1, 2031.
09/19/26 Chaptered by Secretary of State -
Chapter 334, Statutes of 2026.
- AB 1145 (Jeff Gonzalez) Vehicles: local regulation: Department of Transportation.
Existing law authorizes local authorities, for those highways under
their jurisdiction, to adopt rules and regulations by ordinance or
resolution, on various matters, including regulating traffic by means
of specified official traffic control devices and prohibiting the use
of particular highways by certain vehicles. Existing law authorizes
specified proposed ordinances or resolutions to be effective as to any
state highway or part thereof if the proposed ordinance or resolution
is submitted to the Department of Transportation for approval prior to
the enactment, as specified.
This bill would require the Department of Transportation, when
reviewing and approving or rejecting an ordinance or resolution that
has been submitted to the department for approval by a local
authority, to consider the costs of the proposed ordinance or
resolution compared to any possible alternative solution to the issue
that the proposed ordinance or resolution is addressing and to provide
written reasons and justifications for a rejection.
09/27/26 Chaptered by Secretary of State -
Chapter 511, Statutes of 2026.
- AB 1267 (Pellerin) Marriage: prohibition on minors.
Existing law authorizes an unmarried person who is under 18 years of
age to marry upon obtaining a court order granting permission and the
written consent of at least one of the parents or the guardian of each
underage party to the marriage, as specified. Existing law requires
the court, if it considers it necessary, as part of the court order
granting permission to marry, to require the parties to the
prospective marriage of a minor to participate in premarital
counseling, as specified.
Existing law provides that 2 unmarried, unrelated adults who have
chosen to share one another’s lives in an intimate and committed
relationship of mutual caring may establish a domestic partnership by
filing a declaration with the Secretary of State, if certain
requirements are met. Existing law provides that a person under 18
years of age who, together with the person with whom the person
proposes to establish a domestic partnership, meets the requirements
for a domestic partnership other than the requirement of being at
least 18 years of age, is capable of consenting to and establishing a
domestic partnership upon obtaining a court order granting permission
to the underage person or persons to establish a domestic partnership.
Under existing law, registered domestic partners have the same rights,
protections, and benefits as spouses.
This bill would repeal the authorization for a person under 18 years
of age to be issued a marriage license or to establish a domestic
partnership, thereby prohibiting a person under 18 years of age from
being issued a marriage license or from establishing a domestic
partnership. The bill would make conforming changes.
Existing law requires the State Registrar to create a document, no
later than March 1, 2020, concerning marriage certificates in which
one or both of the parties were minors at the time of solemnization of
the marriage. Existing law requires the State Registrar to update that
document annually, as specified. Existing law requires the local
registrar to submit specified information for the purposes of that
report.
This bill would repeal those provisions.
09/30/26 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Res.
Chapter TBD, Statutes of 2026. (Conf by BBC)
- AB 1338 (Solache) Department of Transportation: transferred property: City of Lynwood.
Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full
possession and control of all state highways and all property and
rights on property acquired for state highway purposes. Various
provisions of existing law specifically provide for the acquisition,
transfer, and use of property owned by the department.
This bill would, with respect to a parcel that the department
transferred to the City of Lynwood, require the department, upon
request from the city, to develop and enter into an agreement with the
city to release and remove a deed restriction imposed on that parcel
if the city agrees to transfer the deed restriction to another
specified parcel and other certain other requirements are met. If the
city and department enter into this agreement, the bill would require
the city to submit reports to the Legislature, and specified
committees of the Legislature, at prescribed intervals on the use of
this authority to develop those parcels.
This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the
necessity of a special statute for the City of Lynwood.
09/27/26 Chaptered by Secretary of State -
Chapter 516, Statutes of 2026.
- AB 1836 (Gabriel) California State Nonprofit Security Grant Program.
Existing law establishes the California State Nonprofit Security
Grant Program under the administration of the Director of Emergency
Services to improve the physical security of nonprofit organizations
that are at high risk of violent attacks or hate crimes due to
ideology, beliefs, or mission. Existing law authorizes applicants to
use grant funds for prescribed security enhancements, including
security training. Existing law makes the operation of the program
contingent upon appropriation in the annual Budget Act.
This bill would instead establish the California State Nonprofit
Security Grant Program to improve the physical security of nonprofit
organizations and events hosted by nonprofit organizations that are at
a high risk of violent attacks or hate crimes, as described above. The
bill would also authorize the grant money to be used by applicants for
security enhancements for security for onsite or offsite events hosted
by a nonprofit organization, as defined and specified. The bill would
prohibit these provisions from limiting a nonprofit organization
without a physical site from being eligible for funding for offsite
events, as specified. The bill would limit security for offsite events
to $25,000 of the grant funds awarded. The bill would prohibit the
Office of Emergency Services from imposing monetary and percentile
limits on any individual eligible security enhancement, except as
specified.
09/25/26 Chaptered by Secretary of State -
Chapter 441, Statutes of 2026.
- AB 1856 (Wicks) Age verification signals: software applications and online services.
Existing law, the Digital Age Assurance Act (DAAA), beginning January
1, 2027, requires, among other things related to age verification with
respect to software applications, an operating system provider, as
defined, to provide an accessible interface at account setup that
requires an account holder, as defined, to indicate the birth date,
age, or both, of the user of that device for the purpose of providing
a signal regarding the user’s age bracket to applications
available in a covered application store. Existing law defines the
term “user” for these purposes to mean a child that is the
primary user of a device.
This bill would, among other things, delete that definition of
“user,” would specify that the requirement of an operating
system provider to provide an accessible interface applies if an
operating system operates on a device and has an account setup
feature, and would require the signal to be provided to a covered
application store or application developer, as prescribed. The bill
would prohibit a person from requesting a signal with respect to a
particular user from an operating system provider or a covered
application store if not required to do so by the DAAA or any other
applicable law.
09/10/26 Chaptered by Secretary of State -
Chapter 184, Statutes of 2026.
- AB 2015 (Wicks) Department of Transportation: third-party navigation applications: study and report.
Existing law establishes the Department of Transportation and vests
it with full possession and control of the state highway system.
This bill would require the department, in consultation with the
Transportation Agency and relevant regional and local authorities, to
conduct a pilot study in a region or area of the state, as determined
by the department, on the impact of third-party navigation
applications on the state highway system and local street and road
networks. The bill would require the pilot study to analyze how
third-party navigation applications affect congestion displacement,
local infrastructure, safety metrics, and emergency response, as
provided. The bill would require the department, on or before January
1, 2029, to submit the study, and a report of related policy
recommendations for regulatory or legislative action to improve the
alignment between third-party navigation applications and state and
local traffic management goals, to the relevant fiscal and policy
committees of the Legislature. The bill would repeal these provisions
on January 1, 2033.
09/15/26 Chaptered by Secretary of State -
Chapter 207, Statutes of 2026.
- AB 2059 (Wilson) California Environmental Quality Act: transportation impacts: vehicle miles traveled:
mitigation.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead
agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify
the completion of an environmental impact report on a project that it
proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on
the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that
the project will not have that effect. CEQA also requires a lead
agency to prepare a mitigated negative declaration for a project that
may have a significant effect on the environment if revisions in the
project would avoid or mitigate that effect and there is no
substantial evidence that the project, as revised, would have a
significant effect on the environment.
CEQA requires the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation to
prepare, develop, and transmit to the Secretary of the Natural
Resources Agency for certification and adoption proposed revisions to
the CEQA implementation guidelines to establish criteria for
determining the significance of transportation impacts of projects
within transit priority areas, and requires the criteria to promote
the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the development of
multimodal transportation networks, and a diversity of land uses. CEQA
requires the office to recommend potential metrics, including, among
other metrics, vehicle miles traveled, to measure these transportation
impacts.
This bill would require the Department of Transportation, in
consultation with specified entities, to, on or before December 31,
2030, develop guidance on vehicle-miles-travel mitigation
measures for transportation projects in nonmetropolitan counties,
as provided. The bill would require the department to publish the
guidance on its internet website and add the guidance as an addendum
to the Transportation Analysis Framework and the Transportation
Analysis under CEQA. The bill would specify that a
transportation project for which the lead agency has issued a notice
of preparation for the project’s environmental impact report
on or before December 31, 2031 is presumed to have a less than
significant transportation impact as determined by the
vehicle-miles-traveled metric if at least 70% of the project lies
within one or more nonmetropolitan counties. Because the
bill would impose additional duties on a lead agency in its analysis
of significant transportation impacts, this bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
09/27/26 Chaptered by Secretary of State -
Chapter 576, Statutes of 2026.
- AB 2541 (Mark González) Lowrider License Plate Program.
Existing law establishes a specialized license plate program and
requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue specialized license
plates, also referred to as environmental license plates, on behalf of
a sponsoring state agency if the agency receives 7,500 applications
for that plate within a 12-month period, among other requirements.
Existing law authorizes a person who is the registered owner or lessee
of a vehicle to apply to the department for specialized license
plates. Existing law imposes a fee, in addition to the regular
registration fee, for the issuance, renewal, retention, transfer, and
duplication of specialized license plates. Existing law requires that
all revenue derived from these fees be deposited in the California
Environmental License Plate Fund.
This bill would require the Arts Council to apply to the department
to sponsor “The Lowrider” specialized license plate
program, as specified. The bill would require the design of the plate
to reflect lowrider culture and heritage. The bill would require the
council to consult with a nonprofit entity for plate design
consultation, stakeholder engagement, publicity, and community
outreach. The bill would authorize the council to accept and use
donated or licensed artwork from a nonprofit entity for these
purposes, and to use funds from nonprofit or private sources to
augment implementation. The bill would require the department, after
deducting its administrative costs, to deposit additional revenue
derived from the issuance, renewal, transfer, and substitution of the
plate into the Specialized License Plate Fund in the State Treasury.
The bill would require the council to use those funds, upon
appropriation by the Legislature, to fund projects that include, among
others, supporting lowrider arts and cultural preservation efforts.
The bill would authorize the council to use 4 to 6% of those funds to
consult with or enter into an agreement with a nonprofit entity to
support implementation of the program.
09/16/26 Chaptered by Secretary of State -
Chapter 243, Statutes of 2026.
- AB 2576 (Harabedian) Transit-oriented development: exclusions: historic sites.
Existing law provides that a housing development project shall be an
allowed use as a transit-oriented housing development if specified
conditions and requirements are met. Existing law provides that these
provisions do not apply to a local agency until July 1, 2026, unless
the local agency adopts an ordinance or local transit-oriented
development alternative plan, as defined, deemed compliant by the
Department of Housing and Community Development before July 1, 2026.
Existing law specifies that, beginning on January 1, 2027, a local
government that denies a housing development project meeting the
requirements referenced above that is located in a high-resource area
is presumed to be in violation of specified law and immediately liable
for specified penalties. Existing law specifies exclusions from the
provisions described above, including, among other sites prior to one
year following the adoption of the 7th revision of the housing
element, a site with a historic resource designated as of January 1,
2025, on a local register.
This bill would also exclude from the provisions described above, a
contributing site within a historic district included on the State
Historic Resources Inventory designated before January 1, 2025, and a
parcel individually listed as a historical resource included on the
State Historic Resources Inventory designated before January 1, 2025.
This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 65912.161
of the Government Code proposed by AB 2415 to be operative only if
this bill and AB 2415 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
[Note: As of 2026-10-01, AB 2415 had not
yet progressed to the Enrollment stage.]
09/15/26 Chaptered by Secretary of State -
Chapter 214, Statutes of 2026.
- AB 2788 (Committee on Transportation) Transportation: omnibus bill.
(1) Existing law authorizes a city or county in which a
planned transportation facility was to be located on State Highway
Route 238 in the City of Hayward and the County of Alameda to
develop and file with the California Transportation Commission a
local alternative transportation improvement program that addresses
transportation problems and opportunities in the county, and
provides for the use of revenues from the sale of excess properties
acquired for the planned state facility in order to fund the local
alternative transportation improvement program. Existing law
prohibits the commission from approving a local alternative
transportation improvement program submitted under these provisions
after July 1, 2010. Existing law requires revenues from excess
property sales for State Highway Route 238 to be deposited into a
separate account in the Special Deposit Fund, a continuously
appropriated fund, to be available for expenditure by local agencies
for projects designated in the local alternative transportation
improvement program.
This bill would authorize the Alameda County Transportation
Commission to file an amendment to the local alternative
transportation improvement program for approval by the commission,
and would authorize that amendment to propose to revise the projects
listed in the program. Before filing the proposed amendment with the
commission, the bill would require the Alameda County Transportation
Commission to obtain the approval of the amendment from the city
councils of the Cities of Hayward and San Leandro and the board of
supervisors of the County of Alameda. By authorizing the commission
to approve a revised list of projects, the bill would expand the
purposes for which continuously appropriated funds may be expended,
thereby making an appropriation.
(2) Existing law makes it a crime for a person to pilot a vessel
through the Golden Gate and into or out of a harbor in the Bays of San
Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun, unless the person has a license as a
pilot, as provided. Existing law defines “Bays of San Francisco,
San Pablo, and Suisun” as all the waters of the Bay of San
Francisco, Bay of San Pablo, and Bay of Suisun, and of the
tributaries, ports, and harbors of those bays, including the water
areas from the south end of San Francisco Bay and from the Ports of
Sacramento and Stockton to the Golden Gate Bridge. Existing law
requires a pilot that provides pilotage service in the Bays of San
Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun to be insured, as provided, and
requires a vessel, owner, operator, or demise or bareboat charterer
hiring the pilot to either defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the
pilot or provide trip insurance, as provided.
This bill would clarify that the Bays of San Francisco, San Pablo,
and Suisun includes the Ports of Sacramento and Stockton. The bill
would also clarify that those insurance provisions apply to any
portion of a vessel transit that occurs within the waters of the Ports
of Sacramento and Stockton. To the extent the bill would expand the
definition of the Bays of San Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun, it
would increase the scope of a crime and impose a state-mandated local
program.
(3) Existing law specifies standards and requirements for the
equipment of motor vehicles. Existing law generally requires motor
carriers, drivers, and vehicles to comply with the Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Regulations related to safety requirements for
commercial motor vehicle operations, subject to department
regulations. Under existing law, it is an infraction for a person to
violate, or fail to comply with, a provision of the Vehicle Code,
unless otherwise specified.
This bill would additionally require motor carriers, drivers,
vehicles, and shippers to comply with specified federal regulations
related to the transportation of hazardous materials to the extent
that they relate to transportation by highway unless the motor
carrier, driver, vehicle, or shipper is an agency of the federal
government. The bill would clarify that motor carriers, drivers,
vehicles, and shippers not subject to the federal regulations
described above are required to comply with those regulations unless
specifically exempted from that compliance pursuant to department
regulations. Because a violation of these provisions would be a crime,
the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(4) Existing law authorizes a city, county, or city and county to
establish an automated traffic enforcement system program to use those
systems to detect a violation of a traffic control signal, if the
system meets specified requirements. Existing law makes photographic,
video, and administrative records made by a system confidential and
specifies that data about the number of violations issued is not an
administrative record required to be disclosed. Existing law
establishes an administrative hearing process for notices of
violations issued under these provisions and authorizes a contestant
to seek review of the final decision by filing an appeal to the small
claims division of the superior court or the traffic division of the
superior court, as specified. Existing law provides that the conduct
of the hearing on appeal is a subordinate duty that may be performed
by a commissioner or other subordinate judicial officer, as specified.
This bill would instead specify that data about the number of
violations issued is not an administrative record prohibited from
disclosure and is subject to disclosure. The bill would delete
references to the small claims division or traffic division of a
superior court in the above-described provisions and instead authorize
a contestant to file an appeal to the superior court. The bill would
provide that the conduct of the hearing on appeal may be a subordinate
duty. The bill would also make a conforming change.
(5) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.

- SB 869 (Weber Pierson) Restaurant menus: added sugar warnings.
Existing law, the California Retail Food Code, establishes uniform
health and sanitation standards for, and provides for regulation by
the State Department of Public Health of, retail food facilities, and
requires local health agencies to enforce those provisions. Existing
law makes a person who violates a provision of the code guilty of a
misdemeanor. Existing law requires certain food facilities to provide
written notification of the major food allergens that the food
facility knows or reasonably should know are contained as an
ingredient in each menu item, either directly on its menu or in a
digital format, as specified.
This bill, on or before January 1, 2029, would require a chain
restaurant offering a standard menu beverage item with high added
sugar content, as defined, to display on its menus an added sugar icon
immediately adjacent to each standard menu beverage item with high
added sugar content, as specified. The bill would require a chain
restaurant to display a clear and conspicuous warning explaining the
added sugar icon. The bill would require a chain restaurant to display
the information directly on its drive-through menus and, additionally,
either on its physical menus or in a digital format, as specified. By
expanding the scope of an existing crime and by imposing new duties on
local health officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local
program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no
reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if
the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains
costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be
made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
09/28/26 Chaptered by Secretary of State -
Chapter 723, Statutes of 2026.
- SB 884 (Umberg) Elections in 2026, 2027, and 2028.
Existing law generally requires county elections officials to divide
the county into precincts and designate a polling place for each
precinct. As an alternative, a county elections official may conduct
any election using vote centers instead of polling places. Existing
law requires counties to provide ballot dropoff locations that are
open beginning at least 28 days before the election. Under existing
law, a vote by mail ballot is timely cast if it is postmarked on or
before election day and received in the mail by the voter’s
elections official no later than 7 days after election day. Existing
law prohibits and makes it a misdemeanor to engage in specified
electioneering activities within 100 feet of a polling place,
elections official’s office, satellite location, or an outdoor
site at which a voter may cast or drop off a ballot.
This bill, for any regular or special election, beginning with the
November 3, 2026, statewide general election, held in 2026 through
2029, inclusive, or proclaimed in 2029, would do the following: (1)
require all ballot dropoff locations to be open beginning at least 30
days before the election; (2) prohibit law enforcement officers from
making arrests within 200 feet of a polling place on election day,
except for a crime related to disrupting the operation of the polling
place or a crime against a person or property; (3) authorize a county
board of supervisors to extend the prohibition on electioneering
activities to up to 200 feet of the specified voting locations; (4)
require law enforcement officers to notify the Secretary of State and
Attorney General of a suspected, planned, or actual violation of the
prohibitions on arrests or electioneering activities near polling
places; (5) authorize the state and local governments to place
reasonable restrictions on polling places located on their property;
and (6) authorize a county elections official to extend the time for
closing the polls at any polling place if the county elections
official determines that voting at the polling place was disrupted as
a result of a violation of the prohibitions on arrests or
electioneering activities near polling places.
By increasing the duties of county elections officials, and by
expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no
reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if
the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains
costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be
made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.

Chapter 340, Statutes of 2026.
- SB 922 (Laird) Vehicles: local agency charges: use of streets or highways.
Existing law prohibits a local agency from imposing a tax, permit
fee, or other charge for the privilege of using its streets or
highways, other than a permit fee for an extralegal load unless the
local agency had imposed the fee prior to June 1, 1989.
This bill would explicitly state that a fee, charge, surcharge, or
component thereof imposed upon the provider of, or ratepayer for,
public services by or for a local agency to recover the cost of street
maintenance and repair and other costs associated with the use of its
streets, roads, or highways to provide those public services is not a
tax, permit fee, or other charge that is prohibited by the provision
described above. The bill would provide that nothing in the Vehicle
Code prohibits a local agency from imposing or collecting this fee,
charge, or surcharge. The bill would delete obsolete references and
make other technical changes. The bill would make various findings and
declarations.

Existing law requires the Department of Transportation to adopt rules
and regulations that allow the placement, near exits on freeways in
rural areas, of information signs identifying specific roadside
businesses. Existing law generally prohibits the placement of a sign
within an urban area with a population of 5,000 or more, with certain
exceptions.
This bill, until January 1, 2037, would require the department to
allow the placement of information signs along southbound State Route 395 just before the State Route 178 eastbound exit and along
northbound State Route 395 just before the South China Lake Boulevard
northbound exit, as provided.

Chapter 226, Statutes of 2026.
- SB 1087 (Cabaldon) Transportation planning: sustainable communities strategies: Road Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Program: local planning grants.
(1) Existing law requires certain transportation planning agencies to
prepare and adopt regional transportation plans directed at achieving
a coordinated and balanced regional transportation system. Existing
law requires a regional transportation plan to include a policy
element, a sustainable communities strategy prepared by a metropolitan
planning organization, an action element, and a financial element, as
provided. Existing law requires those transportation planning agencies
to adopt and submit every 4 years, except as provided, an updated
regional transportation plan to the California Transportation
Commission and the Department of Transportation.
Existing law requires a sustainable communities strategy to achieve
regional targets set by the State Air Resources Board for the
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the automobile and light
truck sector in the region for 2020 and 2035, respectively, and
requires the state board to update those targets every 8 years,
consistent with each metropolitan planning organization’s
timeframe for updating its regional transportation plan, as specified.
Existing law establishes certain procedural requirements for setting
and updating those targets and authorizes the state board to revise
the targets every 4 years based on changes in specified factors.
Existing law, to the extent the sustainable communities strategy is
unable to achieve the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets,
requires a metropolitan planning organization to prepare an
alternative planning strategy to the sustainable communities strategy
showing how the targets would be achieved through alternative
development patterns, infrastructure, or additional transportation
measures or policies. Existing law requires the state board to review
each metropolitan planning organization’s sustainable
communities strategy and alternative planning strategy to determine
whether the strategy, if implemented, would achieve the greenhouse gas
emission reduction targets.
This bill would revise and recast the requirements for a sustainable
communities strategy, including, among other things, (A) requiring a
sustainable communities strategy every 8 years with a progress report
after 4 years instead of requiring a sustainable communities strategy
every 4 years, (B) requiring the state board to provide each region
with greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for 2035 and 2045, and
(C) requiring the state board to hold technical workshops before
providing those targets. The bill would also revise the state
board’s process for reviewing sustainable communities strategies
and alternative planning strategies, as specified.
Because the bill would expand duties of local agencies, it would
impose a state-mandated local program.
(2) Existing law requires, commencing January 1, 2020, the San Diego
Association of Governments to begin developing an implementation
report that tracks the implementation of its most recently adopted
sustainable communities strategy, as provided. Existing law requires
the Sacramento Area Council of Governments to report on the regional
implementation of its most recently adopted sustainable communities
strategy, as provided.
This bill would repeal those provisions.
(3) Existing law requires the Department of Transportation to prepare
the California Transportation Plan for submission to the Governor and
the Legislature as a long-range planning document that incorporates
various elements and is consistent with specified expressions of
legislative intent. Existing law requires the plan to identify the
statewide integrated multimodal transportation system needed to
achieve statewide greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and to
attain state and national air quality standards.
This bill would also require the plan to, among other things,
incorporate performance measures into planning that informs delivery
of transportation capital projects to help achieve the goals of the
plan. The bill would, commencing with the 3rd update to the plan,
revise the information that the department is required to include in
the plan to include, among others, relevant performance measures
within each district of the department.
(4) Existing law requires certain funds appropriated by the
Legislature from the Public Transportation Account to be made
available for specified purposes, including, among other purposes, for
the department’s planning activities, mass transportation
responsibilities, and assistance in regional transportation planning,
as specified.
This bill, for any activities within the region of a metropolitan
planning organization, would require the department to limit funding
to activities that are consistent with an applicable sustainable
communities strategy or alternative planning strategy, as specified.
(5) Existing law creates the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Program to address deferred maintenance on the state highway system
and the local street and road system. Existing law provides for the
deposit of various moneys for the program into the Road Maintenance
and Rehabilitation Account. Existing law requires funds in the account
to be allocated for various purposes, including, among others,
$25,000,000, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for local planning
grants to encourage local and regional planning that furthers state
goals, as provided. Existing law requires the department to develop a
grant guide for the allocation of these grants.
This bill, for areas within a metropolitan planning organization,
would require the grant guide to encourage planning that furthers the
goals of a sustainable communities strategy or alternative planning
strategy.
(6) Existing law requires the commission, under a program commonly
known as the Trade Corridor Enhancement Program, to allocate certain
state and federal funds to infrastructure projects located on or along
specified transportation corridors. Existing law establishes the
Solutions for Congested Corridors Program and requires the commission
to allocate state funds made available to the program to projects
designed to achieve a balanced set of transportation, environmental,
and community access improvements within highly congested travel
corridors throughout the state. Under both programs, existing law
requires projects within the boundaries of a metropolitan planning
organization to be included in an adopted regional transportation plan
that includes a sustainable communities strategy determined by the
state board to achieve the region’s greenhouse gas emission
reduction targets.
For purposes of those programs, this bill would instead require, if
the metropolitan planning organization has adopted an alternative
planning strategy, the projects to meet prescribed requirements,
including that the predominant purpose of the project is to implement
a specific greenhouse gas emission reduction strategy or addresses an
impediment to achieving an applicable greenhouse gas emission
reduction target identified in the alternative planning strategy.
(7) Existing law requires funding to be available under the Solutions
for Congested Corridors Program for projects that make specific
performance improvements and are part of a comprehensive corridor plan
designed to reduce congestion in highly traveled corridors. Existing
law authorizes the department and certain regional transportation
planning agencies to nominate projects for funding through the
program.
This bill would require funding to be available under the program for
projects that, among other things, make specific performance
improvements and support the implementation of a regional
transportation plan. The bill would revise the requirements applicable
to a project nomination under the program. The bill would require the
commission to allocate program funds to projects that, among other
things, are included in an adopted regional transportation plan, as
specified.
(8) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory
provisions noted above.

- SB 1250 (Cortese) State highway system: wildlife connectivity.
Existing law vests the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) with
full possession and control of the state highway system and requires
Caltrans to improve and maintain the state highways. Existing law
requires Caltrans, in consultation with the California Transportation
Commission, to prepare a robust asset management plan to guide
selection of projects for the state highway operation and protection
program (SHOPP).
This bill would require the department, in connection with each
revision of the asset management plan, to prepare and publish a
supplemental list of wildlife connectivity improvements on the state
highway system, as specified, and would require the department to
submit the supplemental list to the commission for review and comments
before the final list is published.
Existing law declares the intent of the Legislature that Caltrans
review the full extent of the state highway system, as currently
maintained, in consultation with the Department of Fish and Wildlife
and with opportunities for the public to provide data input for
consideration, to develop a comprehensive approach to address wildlife
connectivity needs throughout the state with the goal of implementing
measures that protect, conserve, and improve the state’s unique
wildlife, landscapes, and natural resources.
This bill would explicitly require Caltrans to undertake this duty,
in consultation with the Department of Fish and Wildlife and with
opportunities for the public to provide data and input for
consideration, as specified.
Existing law requires Caltrans, in consultation with the Department
of Fish and Wildlife and other appropriate agencies, to establish an
inventory of connectivity needs on the state highway system where the
implementation of wildlife passage features could reduce
wildlife-vehicle collisions or enhance wildlife connectivity, and to
update the inventory on a biennial basis, as specified.
This bill would instead require Caltrans, in consultation with the
Department of Fish and Wildlife and other appropriate agencies, to
assess potential barriers to wildlife to establish an inventory of
connectivity needs on the state highway system where the
implementation of wildlife passage features could reduce
wildlife-vehicle collisions or enhance wildlife connectivity. The bill
would require the biennial update to the inventory to be based on an
analysis of transportation assets within priority route segments
identified by the Department of Fish and Wildlife. The bill would
require Caltrans to consult with the Department of Fish and Wildlife
on the development of each update to the inventory, as prescribed.
Existing law requires Caltrans to prepare a State Highway System
Management Plan (SHSMP), which includes a 10-year rehabilitation plan
for the rehabilitation or reconstruction by the SHOPP of all state
highways and bridges, and a 5-year maintenance plan that addresses the
maintenance needs of the state highway system, as provided. Existing
law requires the SHSMP to include specific quantifiable
accomplishments, goals, objectives, costs, and performance measures
consistent with the asset management plan described above. Existing
law requires the SHSMP to be updated every 2 years.
This bill would require Caltrans to include wildlife connectivity as
an objective in the SHSMP.

- SB 1274 (Archuleta) Industrial cities.
Existing law provides for the operation of various programs and
services.
This bill would define “industrial city” for purposes of
state programs, policies, and funding formulas that expressly
incorporate the definition.
[According to the author as explanation:
California is home to a small number of unique cities that have a
higher daytime workforce population than nighttime residential
population. In these cities, the number of jobs exceeds the number of
residents, industrial land use often dominates the municipal
footprint, and freight and commercial traffic often represent a
significant share of roadway demand. This phenomenon typically occurs
when a city is primarily zoned for industrial use and is experiencing
large numbers of workers commuting to and from the city every day. One
of the many unique challenges faced by industrial cities is the lack
of financial resources for infrastructure maintenance and
transportation. Because many transportation funding formulas rely
heavily upon a city’s residential population, industrial cities
in California are not receiving funding that reflects the reality of
roadway wear, freight demand, and infrastructure usage in their
jurisdictions.]

routine underwater inspection of the Eureka Slough Bridges was
performed, prompting a Record of Critical Finding (RCF) for the
southbound bridge. The RCF documented that the southeast end of the
pile cap under Column 3 of Bent 7 is undermined and there are six
missing piles. The likely cause of missing piles is attack by marine
borers. This bridge is a high volume and high speed utility. The
traffic has been shifted away from the affected area to reduce the
live load effects and tilt sensors have been installed. The bridge is
under continuous monitoring with a potential of full closure if the
movement exceeds tolerable thresholds. This project will construct a
work trestle parallel to and west of the bridge to perform
geotechnical investigations and to provide construction access for
potential solutions. After the completion of further analysis, a
supplemental will be submitted for project's full scope and funding.

The following projects were of interest for
the highway pages. Uninteresting projects included emergency storm
damage mitigation that was primarily repairs; repairing damage from
unhoused individuals; and damage from accidents, because all of these
eventually restore the facility to the condition it was in before the
emergency (and thus there is no new facility or significant change to
the facility).

№ 04-0022L. On April 13, 2026, a routine underwater inspection
of the Eureka Slough Bridges was performed, prompting a Record of
Critical Finding (RCF) for the southbound bridge. The RCF documented
that the southeast end of the pile cap under Column 3 of Bent 7 is
undermined and there are six missing piles. The likely cause of
missing piles is attack by marine borers. This bridge is a high volume
and high speed utility. The traffic has been shifted away from the
affected area to reduce the live load effects and tilt sensors have
been installed. The bridge is under continuous monitoring with a
potential of full closure if the movement exceeds tolerable
thresholds. This project will construct a work trestle parallel to and
west of the bridge to perform geotechnical investigations and to
provide construction access for potential solutions. After the
completion of further analysis, a supplemental will be submitted for
project's full scope and funding. Breakdown: †R/W

June 2026:
This update covers April, May, and June 2026. Before we dive into the
updates to the California Highways site, an update on the California Highways: Route by Route podcast. As always, you can keep up with the show at the podcast's forever home at https://www.caroutebyroute.org , the show's page on Spotify for Podcasters, or you can subscribe through your favorite podcaster or via the RSS feeds (CARxR, Spotify for Podcasters). The following episodes have been posted since the last update on March 27,
2026:
- June | CA RxR 4.12: Route 14, Route 64, LRN 290: The Valley Freeways that Never Happened. Episode 4.12 starts our exploration of the last route of this season: Route 14. Segment (a) of
Route 14 is the unbuilt "Reseda to the Sea" freeway, so we take this
opportunity to discuss the unbuilt freeways of the San Fernando Valley:
the Reseda Freeway (Route 14), the Whitnall Freeway (Route 64), the
Laurel Canyon Freeway (Route 170), and the freeway plans for Sunland
Tujunga, the Angeles National Forest (Route 118, Route 122, Route 249),
and the plan for the Mulholland Expressway (Route 268). We also discuss
LRN 14 (part of US 40) and Sign Route 14 (which became Route 91). We'll
discuss the built portion of Route 14 between I-5 and US 395 in the last
official season 4 episode. With respect to Tom's sound quality: It's
better. Daniel's mic has an occasional "pop" or "thump" problems; we'll
hopefully fix that in Ep 4.13. We're also working to line up 2-3 bonus
episodes during the season break. (Spotify for Creators)
- May | CA RxR 4.11: Route 13: Oakland and Berkeley. With Episode 4.11, our attention turns to Route 13. In this episode, we look
at LRN 13, Sign Route 13, and Route 13. LRN 13 was the Sonora and Mono
Wagon Road, which became today’s Route 219 and Route 108. Sign
Route 13 was short-lived, quickly being renumbered as Sign Route 17 and
Route 17, and is today’s Route 17, I-880, and I-580 N of the Bay
Bridge. The post-1964 Route 13 of today runs from Route 61 to Route 61
through Oakland and Berkeley, and is best known as the Warren Freeway
and Ashby Blvd. As for Route 61, you’ll just have to listen to the
episode. Next time: In Ep 4.12, we’ll look at Route 14 and the
unbuilt freeways of the San Fernando Valley. Lastly, note that in this
episode Tom was having microphone trouble, so his sound is a bit off
(and I don’t know Audacity well enough to fix it). (Spotify for Creators)
- April | CA RxR 4.10: Route 12: Into the Sierras. Episode 4.10 concludes our exploration of Route 12 with an exploration of the final
section of the route: From Route 99 in Lodi to Route 49 near San
Andreas. This is a segment that travels through the foothills of the
Sierras, running through Lodi, Lockeford, Clements, Valley Springs, and
San Andreas along what was originally LRN 24. We also review LRN 12,
which we visited before in our episodes on Route 8, for LRN 12 became
I-8 between San Diego and El Centro. In our next episode, our attention
turns to Route 13, and includes a discussion of LRN 13, the original
Sign Route 13 which was quickly renumbered as Sign Route 17, and
today’s Route 13 which runs through Oakland and Berkeley, although
the route is unconstructed between the Oakland Airport and I-880. (Spotify for Creators)
- March | CA RxR 4.09: Route 12: Crossing the Wetlands. Episode 4.09 continues our exploration of Route 12 through an exploration of the
middle section of the route: From Fairfield/Cordelia through the "Drive
to Stay Alive" corridor, on through the wetlands of Rio Vista, and into
the central valley and Lodi. We explore the big change in routing that
happened in Rio Vista. We also look at some major projects within this
segment, as well as some of the interesting names. We also review LRN 12, which we visited before in our episodes on Route 8, for LRN 12
became I-8 between San Diego and El Centro. Our exploration of Route 12
will conclude in Episode 4.10, which will cover Route 12 from Route 99
to the Sierra Foothill and San Andreas, where it meets Route 49. (Spotify for Creators)

Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site, for bills through 2026-06-20. As usual, I recommend to every Californian
that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their
legis-critters are doing. As many people are unfamiliar with how the
legislature operates (and why there are so many "non-substantive changes"
and "gut and amend" bills), I've added the legislative calendar (updated for 2026) to the end of the Pending Legislation page. This is early in the even-numbered year session, so
there's a lot of introduction of placeholder bills, and a lot of amending
of those placeholder bills (and bills that remained active from the
previous year). Noted the passage of the following bills / resolutions (I
also identified a number of errors in bills and resolutions, and submitted
comments as indicated):
- AB 2156 (Rivas) Holidays: Farmworkers Day.
Existing law designates specific days as holidays in this state,
including Cesar Chavez Day on March 31, and requires the Governor to
annually proclaim March 31 as Cesar Chavez Day.
This bill would instead designate March 31 as Farmworkers Day and
would require the Governor to annually proclaim March 31 as
Farmworkers Day.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.

Reviewed the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission for the April through June meetings. The following items were of interest:
- Application 6-26-0167: Installation of a suicide
deterrent system, including 8-ft.high wire mesh barrier on top of
existing 34-in.high bridge guardrails, additional substructure
maintenance walkways, replacement of ClosedCircuit Television (CCTV)
cameras, and signage. (Route 75). According to Caltrans, the proposed
deterrent system will consist of an 8-foot-high steel wire mesh barrier
suspended between posts installed on top of the existing 34-inch-high
concrete bridge guardrails. The barrier’s mesh openings are 1-inch
in size and are designed to prevent climbing over the existing bridge
guardrails. In addition, system upgrades will include updated cameras
systems, signage, and an expanded substructure maintenance walkway on
the underside of the bridge. Located within the ecologically important
San Diego Bay, the bridge is within the Pacific Flyway and has served as
seasonal nesting habitat. Construction impacts will be temporary in
nature and Special Condition № 3 requires a Nesting Bird
Monitoring and Avoidance Plan to avoid impacts to nesting birds within
the construction site. Special Condition № 4 requires various BMPs
designed to prevent inadvertent chemical and debris spills. Staff
recommended a YES vote, with conditions.

- Appeal A-4-MAL-26-0011: Appeal by Dr. Thomas G.
Diamantidis of decision of City of Malibu granting permit with
conditions for a limited term (15-18 months) pilot project involving
temporary safety improvements including lane reductions, bicycle lanes
and striping, new signage, two roundabouts (at El Matador Beach Rd &
Encinal Canyon Rd), crosswalks and flashing beacons, and safety lighting
along an approx. 1.2-mile-segment of Route 1 (Pacific Coast Highway)
between Broad Beach Road and La Piedra Beach Road in City of Malibu, Los
Angeles County. (MA-LB). The background noted the following: The Malibu
City Council approved, with conditions, a local coastal development
permit (CDP) requested by the City of Malibu Public Works Department
(City) for a limited term (15-18 months) pilot project involving
temporary traffic safety improvements on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in
the City of Malibu in Los Angeles County. The traffic calming safety
improvements are intended to reduce traffic speeds and improve overall
safety and safety for pedestrians and cyclists along an approximately
1.2-mile-long segment of the public right-of-way of PCH between Broad
Beach Road (east end) and La Piedra Beach Road (west end). The
improvements include two new roundabouts (at El Matador Beach Road &
Encinal Canyon Road), reductions in the number of lanes (5 lanes to 2
lanes) and lane narrowing, new bicycle lanes and striping, new
Quick-Kurb bollards for traffic channelization, new signage, new
crosswalks and flashing beacons, and new safety lighting. PCH is owned
by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), but these
improvements are a city-led project developed in conjunction with
Caltrans. PCH through Malibu has ongoing safety issues related to high
speeds, limited parking for residents and visitors to coastal
destinations, and limited controlled crossings, sidewalks, and bike
routes. The City has experienced a relatively high rate of fatal and
serious injury collisions compared to similarly sized jurisdictions. In
response, on Jun 22, 2015, the Malibu City Council adopted the 2015 PCH
Safety Study that the City developed in partnership with Caltrans. The
study includes recommendations for various measures to improve safety
along the highway corridor to reduce vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian
conflicts. This project brings forward some elements of the 2015 Safety
Study as a pilot project for implementation and analysis of
effectiveness. At the heart of appeal, the appellant Dr. Thomas G.
Diamantidis asserts that the project violates Malibu’s certified
Local Coastal Program (LCP) and the California Coastal Act because it
was approved without sufficient evidence, especially regarding safety,
hazards, and public access impacts. The appellant contends that lane
reductions and roundabouts will reduce traffic capacity, worsen
congestion, and create unsafe conditions along a critical coastal
corridor and primary wildfire evacuation route. He contends that the
project was approved without adequate analyses on those issues, claiming
that the approved roundabouts, particularly at Encinal Canyon Road, were
not recommended in the 2015 PCH Safety Study and the project lacks
essential studies such as traffic modeling, evacuation analysis, and
hazard assessments. The appeal further contends the project is
inconsistent with the public access and recreation policies of the
Coastal Act and the City’s LCP because reduced roadway capacity
and increased congestion could impair coastal access and discourage use
of beach access points and coastal pullouts. The CCC upheld the local
approval.

I checked California Transportation Commission page for the agenda and results of the May and June 2026 meetings of the California Transportation Commission. As always, note that I tend not to track
items that do not impact these pages — i.e., pavement rehabilitation
or replacement, landscaping, drainage, culverts, roadside facilities,
charging stations, or other things that do not impact the routing or
history, unless they are really significant. As such, the following items
were of interest:

Route 27 Near city of Los Angeles, at 1.1 miles south of Grand View
Drive. Install drainage culverts. Note: In January 2025, the Palisades
fire caused significant damage to Route 27 within Topanga Canyon.
Following the fire, heavy rainfall events resulted in slope failures,
erosion, debris flows, and clogging of drainage systems. Emergency
Director's Order 07-2XR30 was approved to address the emergency
damage. However, the work to install new culverts as part of the
original scope was unsuccessful due to the contractor's inability to
get through the existing bedrock. This project will bring in a new

♠ (May) (3) Request of
$30,438,000 for 13 2026 SHOPP preconstruction project phases for
environmental support (PA&ED phase). Note
that the CTC didn't make this one easy, just giving a table with
PPNOs, ProjIDs, EAs, and allocations. No route numbers, so I had to
search the 2026 draft SHOPP.
None of these projects were at the level of interest
for the highway pages. So why am I leaving this item in here? To explain
the process, and to explain why I keep track of things like PPNO,
ProjID, and EA. The agenda background for this agenda item contained tables of the form:
| No. |

I first used a "grep" tool (Astrogrep) to search through my HTML source files for the highway pages to see if
it found the EA, PPNO, or ProjID. Getting nothing, I was unsure the tool
was working.
Next I went out to the actual 2026 SHOPP. There I searched on the EA, and confirmed that each project was below the level of interest. So, for example, for the
project above, 1K260 is:
02-Siskiyou-96 35.66. PPNO 02-3909; ProjID
0224000078; EA 1K260. Route 96 Near Happy Camp, at 1.7 miles east of
USFS Road 15N32; also, near Horse Creek, at 0.6 miles west of Horse
Creek Road (PM 75.45). Install cable net attenuators for rockfall
protection, create catchment area, and rehabilitate drainage systems.
As you can see, this is below the level of interest
for the highway pages. I did this for each of the 13 projects in the
table.
This does make me question the utility of providing
this agenda item in the format for the members of the CTC. Are they
going to take the time to find the details on the projects they are
authorizing? Probably not; rather, they are voting without the real
knowledge. The CTC should go back to using the standard style, as used
for the pre-construction and construction phase allocations (see here
for May 2026 Agenda Item 2.5b.(2)), as that supports the commission members better.

- Emergency G-11 Allocations (2.5f.(1)): $120,190,000 for 45 projects.
- SHOPP Safety Sub-Allocations (2.5f.(3)): $13,417,000 for four
projects.
- Minor G-19-05a Allocations (2.5f.(4)): $17,569,000 for 18 projects.
The following projects were of interest for
the highway pages. Uninteresting projects included emergency storm
damage mitigation that was primarily repairs; repairing damage from
unhoused individuals; and damage from accidents, because all of these
eventually restore the facility to the condition it was in before the
emergency (and thus there is no new facility or significant change to
the facility).

0123000063; EA 0M730. Route 211 Near Ferndale, at Eel River Bridge
№ 04-0134. On December 20, 2022, an earthquake occurred near
Ferndale that caused significant damage to the Eel River Bridge. The
bridge was closed to traffic. The damage assessments indicate
structural damage to the bridge at multiple piers, columns, girders,
and bents. This project will repair the bridge, replace bridge
railing, and place erosion control. As the Department engineers
continued to assess the condition of the bridge, they discovered that
several spandrel walls at the arch abutments had separated.
Stabilizing the spandrel walls required full bridge closures for 53
hours. Additionally, the crack on Pier 2 has continued to grow and
robust repair strategy is needed. The installation of seismic gates is
also necessary to secure the bridge from future earthquakes. The first
supplemental was necessary to implement this additional scope. A
second supplemental is needed due to additional damage caused by
subsequent earthquakes, flood damage to the monitoring sensors on the
bridge, storage and disposal of contaminated water, and the need for
changeable message signs to warn the traveling public in case another
seismic event occurs. Breakdown: CON ENG $0; CONST $2,750,000.
- (1) #22. $1,278,000. 05-Mon-1 60.0. PPNO 05-3222; ProjID 0524000162;
EA 1S040. Route 1 Near Notleys Landing, at 0.2 mile south of Rocky
Creek Bridge. On March 30, 2024 a rockslide occurred resulting in
undermining the southbound lanes that required a full road closure,
isolating the community of Big Sur. This project will implement a
one-way traffic control in order to construct a temporary
stabilization of the slope until a follow up engineered solution can
be implemented to fully restore the roadway. As the work progressed,
the seawall repair are beyond the original estimate. This supplemental
will place additional concrete, reinforcing steel, scaffolding for
site access, a crane, and biological monitoring. This supplemental is
needed to closeout a contract that was accepted 1/14/26. Breakdown:
CON ENG $278,000; CONST $1,000,000.

EA 3XA30. Route 27 Near city of Los Angeles, at 1.1 miles south of
Grand View Drive. In January 2025, the Palisades fire caused
significant damage to Route 27 within Topanga Canyon. Following the
fire, heavy rainfall events resulted in slope failures, erosion,
debris flows, and clogging of drainage systems. Emergency Director's
Order 07-2XR30 was approved to address the emergency damage. However,
the work to install new 84 in. and 72 in diameter culverts as part of
the original scope was unsuccessful due to the contractor's inability
to get through the existing bedrock. This project will bring in a new
contractor to install the drainage culverts and remove that scope from
the original DO under a new supplemental. Breakdown: CON ENG $250,000;
CONST $2,500,000.

March 2026:
Before we start on the update: 2026 marks the 30th Anniversary of this website. The changelog for 1996 shows the first "official" changes in October 1996, although it notes that "Changes before early 1996 were not specifically
noted, although this site, in various forms, dates back at least as far as
1992, and possibly as early as 1986. Searching on Google Groups uncovers an early posting of the state highway list in December of 1992 to the Usenet Group ca.driving. In 1995, there was a posting of the highway list in response to a question, showing a last modified date of 1994. By October 1996, postings were being made showing the existence of the California Highways
page off of Pacificnet.The earliest capture of the site on the Wayback
Machine is in December 1998." So welcome to the start of the 30th Anniversary year, or perhaps the 40th Anniversary year, of California
Highways!
This update covers January, February, and March 2026. Before we dive into
the updates to the California Highways site, an update on the California Highways: Route by Route podcast. As always, you can keep up with the show at the podcast's forever home at https://www.caroutebyroute.org , the show's page on Spotify for Podcasters, or you can subscribe through your favorite podcaster or via the RSS feeds (CARxR, Spotify for Podcasters). The following episodes have been posted since the last update at the end
of 2025:
- March | CA RxR 4.08: Route 12: Sonoma and Napa. Episode 4.08 is the first of three episodes focusing on Route 12. We start by exploring LRN 12, which we visited before in our episodes on Route 8, for LRN 12
became I-8 between San Diego and El Centro. We then look at Sign Route 12 and Route 12, which are mostly the same route… except, of
course, in the first segment where they differ in routing between Route 1 and US 101. Episode 4.08 focuses on the first two segments of Route 12, which covers the portions between Route 1 near Valley Ford or Jenner
through Sebastapol, Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Napa, and into Cordelia. Episode
4.09 will cover Route 12 from I-80 near Suisan City through the
Sacramento Wetlands to Lodi and Route 99. Lastly, Episode 4.10 will
cover Route 12 from Route 99 to the Sierra Foothill and San Andreas,
where it meets Route 49. As usual, we’ll cover historical
routings, projects, and names along the route. (Spotify for Creators)
- February | CA RxR 4.07: Route 11: From Pasadena to the Border. In Episode 4.07, we examine Route 11. We’ll start by exploring LRN 11, which
was essentially the first state highway, running from Sacramento to
Placerville, later extended to run from Antioch to the Nevada State Line
near Lake Tahoe. Today, it is primarily US 50 with a bit of Route 160.
We then explore the original Sign Route 11, which was LRN 165 and LRN 205, and is today’s Route 110. It was also US 60, and is perhaps
better known as the Harbor Freeway and the Pasadena Freeway / Arroyo
Seco Parkway. We explore the history and various routings of Sign Route 11, including the history of the Figueroa Tunnels. Lastly, we explore
the current Route 11, which is a short route near the Mexico border that
connects the San Diego Freeway System (Route 905/Route 125) to the Otay
Mesa East port of entry. (Spotify for Creators)
- January | CA RxR 4.06: I-10: San Bernardino Freeway. Episode 4.06 continues our exploration of Route 10. Episode 4.05 covered the first
segment of Route 10: The Santa Monica Freeway between Route 1 and the
I-5/US 101 junction. This episode, 4.06, covers the second segment of
Route 10, from US 101 to the Arizona Border. Along the way, we explore
the former I-110 segment, Route 10S, and do a deep dive into the US highways that shaped this segment of I-10: US 60, US 70, and US 99. We
explore the historical routing of those highways across this segment. We
also look at some of the names on the highway, and current projects
along the highway. (Spotify for Creators)
- January | CA RxR 4.05: I-10: Santa Monica Freeway. With Episode 4.05, we turn our attention to Route 10. This first episode on Route 10 starts
with an exploration of the 10th route (the last ordinal route
we’ll do), which was the Emigrant Gap Highway, and became the
basis for LRN 37. This became part of the Lincoln Highway, then US 40,
and is now part of I-80 from Sacramento to Nevada. We look at LRN 10,
which became Route 198 from US 101 near San Lucas to Sequoia National
Park. We then explore Sign Route 10 (which we discussed in our episode
on I-5 in Los Angeles county), which ran from US 101A to US 101, later
becoming Route 42 and US 101 Bypass, and eventually I-105 and I-5.
Lastly, we turn to post-1964 Route 10, which is today’s I-10. In
this episode, we focus on the first segment: “From Route 1 in
Santa Monica to Route 5 near Seventh Street in Los Angeles”, which
is today’s Santa Monica Freeway. We look at its origins as Sign
Route 6, which became Sign Route 26 along LRN 173, LRN 166, and LRN 171.
We focus on LRN 173 (LRN 166 and LRN 171 were discussed in our episode
on I-5 in Los Angeles county, as well as our episode on Route 6), which
was Olympic Blvd. We explore the history of the Santa Monica Freeway
segment, the experiments tried along this highway, some significant
projects along this segment, and some significant names on this segment.

Turning to the updates to the California Highways pages: Updates were
made to the following highways, based on my reading of the (virtual)
papers and my research for the fourth and fifth seasons of the podcast in
January, February, and March 2026 (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum (Ꜳ). This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(ℱ), contributions

Completed work on Season 4, and started work on Season 5, of the Route by
Route podcast. Research for and preparation of the episodes posted or
written during this period resulted in changes and updates to the
following routes: I-10, Route 12, Route 13, Route 14, Route 49, Route 110,
Route 112, Route 123, Route 260, I-980, LRN 8, LRN 9, LRN 10, LRN 11, LRN 12, LRN 13, LRN 14, LRN 24, County Sign Route J5.
Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site, for bills through 2026-03-20. As usual, I recommend to every Californian
that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their
legis-critters are doing. As many people are unfamiliar with how the
legislature operates (and why there are so many "non-substantive changes"
and "gut and amend" bills), I've added the legislative calendar (updated for 2026) to the end of the Pending Legislation page. This is early in the even-numbered year session, so
there's a lot of introduction of placeholder bills, and a lot of amending
of those placeholder bills (and bills that remained active from the
previous year). Noted the passage of the following bills / resolutions (I
also identified a number of errors in bills and resolutions, and submitted
comments as indicated):
- ACR 71 (Kalra) Little Saigon Freeway.
Designates the portion of US 101 in the County of Santa Clara from
Story Road (SCL 34.224) to the junction with Route 280 and Route 680
(SCL 34.873) as the “Little Saigon Freeway”. In
August 2025, it was noted that Santa Clara leaders had shown support
for the proposal; see here.
02/20/26 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Res.
Chapter 4, Statutes of 2026.
Reviewed the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission for the January through March meetings. The following items were of interest:

towers, all located above the Albion River within the Caltrans right of
way on Route 1, Mendocino County. (MP-SF)
I checked California Transportation Commission page for the agenda and results of the January and March 2026 meetings of the California Transportation Commission. As always, note that I tend not to track items that do not impact these pages
— i.e., pavement rehabilitation or replacement, landscaping,
drainage, culverts, roadside facilities, charging stations, or other
things that do not impact the routing or history, unless they are really
significant. As such, the following items were of interest:

Boulevard to Olympic Boulevard; also on Route 5 at Sheldon Street (PM
35.83/35.98). On November 11, 2023, a large fire broke out in the
vicinity of 14th Street and Lawrence Street, engulfing
Route 10 in fire because of flammable materials stored under the
freeway. A different tenant is storing similar material at multiple
sites, has breached their lease terms, and is noncompliant, posing a
similar risk of fire. This project will secure the site and replace
fencing with hardened fence and gates. Abatement is being sought from
the responsible party. During the initial site cleanup, various
people, companies and/or entities refused to vacate the damage area
delaying cleanup. Furthermore, a court order decision allowed
occupants to be provided reasonable time to vacate the area, further
delaying the length of the project. The first supplemental required
additional CON Sup due to additional working days required to
administer and complete the project. As the work progressed, enhanced
security measures were undertaken to protect construction crews from
criminal activity during extended hours and night shifts. EarthCam
monitoring equipment was installed for 24- hour surveillance as well
as additional security staff on site to prevent arson or vandalism.
However, the Sheldon Yard property was vandalized rendering it
uninhabitable and requiring significant rehabilitation. This
supplemental will fund the additional security measures for
construction crews and rehabilitate the vandalized state property.

at China Basin Viaduct Bridge № 34-0100. During June 2025
construction activities on Highway Maintenance Program project EA
1W140, which includes scope for end diaphragm repairs, the contractor
observed a crack in the precast girder. A site inspection with partial
removal of diaphragm concrete identified a full-depth cracked girder
at Bent A20 and concerns of bearing quality of Girders 14 through 17
at Bent A17 and Girder 16 at Bent A20. The cause of damage remains
under investigation. Permit loads have been restricted on the bridge
until repairs can be made. This project will repair bridge girders and
place 3 temporary shoring bents. This supplemental is necessary to
fund additional bridge girder repair. Subsequent to the initial
director's order, the Caltrans team determined that the ends of the
girders in all spans should be exposed and evaluated to assess their
condition. Based on this evaluation, the Caltrans team found that
nearly 114 of girder ends across all spans had deteriorated and
required retrofit. This project will repair additional bridge girders.

0726000158; EA 2XW50. Route 2 In and near Wrightwood, from 0.7 mile
west of Big Pines Highway to San Bernardino County line. Also, in San
Bernardino County on Route 2, from Los Angeles County line to Spruce
Street. Heavy winter rains in December 2025 resulted in excessive
runoff that eroded shoulder, roadway and embankment slopes.
Maintenance forces implemented traffic control, including partial
closures of the shoulder and roadway, to protect the traveling public.
A required Geotechnical assessment is being conducted to determine the
slope repair strategy which may result in an additional supplemental
request. This project will reconstruct roadway and stabilize slopes.

0826000040; EA 1T330. Route 38 Near Angelus Oaks and Erwin Lake, from
0.1 mile west of Forest Home Boulevard to Lakewood Drive. On September
18, 2025, a series of intense storms caused washouts, flooding, debris
flow, and full road closure within the El Dorado Fire burn scar. A
segment of Route 38 experienced a complete roadway washout. This
project will remove debris and hazardous trees, clean drainage basins,
reconstruct roadway, repair drainage systems, guardrail, embankments,
debris barriers, roadway signs, and cable railings, stabilize slopes,
and provide slope scaling operations and traffic control. This
supplemental is necessary because debris removal and infrastructure
damage has exceeded original estimates, to the extent that debris flow
depths exceeded 40 feet, clogged the drainage system, overtopped the
highway, and altered the creek's historic flow path. This project will
provide additional repair including work to restore embankment with
rock buttress walls, construct new drainage systems, redirect runoff
flow paths, and increase working levels to a seven-day multiple shift
per day work week to reopen the road as originally scheduled.
Construction funds allocated: (1) Initial G-11 Allocation 10/07/2025:

♠ (Mar) 4.7 Adoption of the
Final 2026 State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP)
(Related Items under Ref. 2.5b.(2), 2.5b.(3), and 2.5b.(4))
Note: Reviewed the draft SHOPP that was
submitted to the meeting for projects of interest, using the same
criteria used for CTC Agenda Item 2.5b: That is, looking for projects
that have a longer-term impact for the highway pages: realignment of a
highway, addition of lanes (auxiliary, HOV, HOT), significant widening,
new wildlife crossings, roundabouts, replacement of bridges. Items that
are repairs in place (resurfacing, reconstruction, bridge rails, sign
structures or sign replacements, overlay treatments, culvert repairs,
repairs related to bridge scour, damage repairs (unless it is long term
damage, such as along Route 1 in Big Sur)), are to facilities ancillary
to the state highways (rest stops, maintenance facilities, office
buildings, performance and monitoring), or projects that are primarily
environmental mitigation splits from other projects are not interesting
for the highway pages. Additionally, SHOPP projects that are unchanged
from entries already on the highway pages are not repeated (e.g.,
projects already in the 2024 SHOPP that are carried forward, modulo
significant amendments). Lastly, projects that support complete streets
or ADA or purely active transportation projects are generally not of
interest to the highway pages, as they do not impact routing.
Roundabouts, on the other hand, are interesting. Traffic signals and
turn bays are judgement calls.
Using this rationale, the following projects had
entries in the 2026 SHOPP that rose to the level of requiring updates to
their pages (search "2026 SHOPP"): Route 1, Route 4, I-5, I-8, Route 14,
I-15, Route 16, Route 29, Route 33, Route 37, Route 39, I-40, Route 49,
Route 58, Route 59, Route 70, Route 84, Route 89, Route 96, Route 99, US 101, Route 110, Route 116, Route 120, Route 121, Route 126, Route 140,
Route 154, Route 165, Route 190, Route 198, Route 211, Route 220, Route 246, Route 254, Route 267, Route 299, Route 371. Note that projects
currently active in the SHOPP from prior fiscal years, if they were just
in the summary table at the end, were not examined as there was no new
information.
