BIG SUR HIGHWAY 1 SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT PLAN The Big Sur Coast Highway – a 100 mile majestic experience from Carmel to Hearst Castle – is experiencing travel pressures that could damage the very scenic qualities and natural beauty that make the area so precious. Caltrans is working with a stakeholder Advisory Committee, stakeholder groups from different regions along the corridor, and interested residents to develop a Sustainable Transportation Demand Management Plan. The Plan will provide a collaborative and comprehensive framework to address the increasing visitor demand along the Big Sur Coast in an efficient and environmentally-sustainable way. The plan builds upon the 2004 Big Sur Coast Highway Management Plan and the Big Sur Land Use Plan to develop a set of goals and strategies to address visitor demands along the highway. Collaboration among stakeholders to address shared Monterey issues is a key principle of the Plan. Carmel The Big Sur corridor runs from Carmel-by-the-Sea in the north Outcomes and goals of the planning effort include: to the intersection of Highway 1 and State Route 46 in the south. • Creating and meeting stakeholders’ vision and goals • Developing viable alternatives to driving • Addressing visitor needs to reduce impacts to natural and CORRIDOR Hwy scenic resources Big Sur 101 LOS PADRES • Developing parking strategies NATIONAL FOREST • Coordinating with and building from other community Slates Hot Springs and stakeholder-driven projects • Identifying potential electric vehicle charging stations Lucia Plaskett How to Get Involved Gorda Community input will be gathered via multiple outreach events MONTEREY COUNTY throughout 2019.

I I I I I I MONTEREY COUNTY GENERAL PLAN I MONTEREY COUNTY, STATE OF CALIFORNIA I I I I ADOPTED BY THE MONTEREY COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 10, 1968 I ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF MONTEREY COUNTY OCTOBER 22, 1968 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 0 N I I I MONTEREY COUNTY I I I I I I PREFACE I The Monterey County General Plan is an attempt to establish a county philosophy based on the values and desires of the people. This in turn becomes a valid basis for decisions by public bodies as well as private enterprise. Such a pro cedure is vitally needed in our rapidly changing environment. The General Plan I is a study of the ever changing pattern of Monterey County --a mirror in which to review the past, to comprehend the present, and to contemplate the future, This plan reflects years of research and study as well as many other reports such as I the continuing Facts and Figures, Recreation in Monterey County, Beach Acqui sition, and other plans which are shown as separate documents h~cause of the volume of material. I The size of Monterey County, its variety of climate, vegetation, and land forms make it imperative that only large land uses or broad proposals be used to portray geographically the objectives desired for the future development of the County. I Accordingly, in addition to the maps, greater emphasis in the General Plan is placed on the text which conveys in words the objectives as well as the princi ples and standards recommended to make them effective.

Big Sur for Other Uses, See Big Sur (Disambiguation)
www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Big Sur For other uses, see Big Sur (disambiguation). Big Sur is a lightly populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. Although it has no specific boundaries, many definitions of the area include the 90 miles (140 km) of coastline from the Carmel River in Monterey County south to the San Carpoforo Creek in San Luis Obispo County,[1][2] and extend about 20 miles (30 km) inland to the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucias. Other sources limit the eastern border to the coastal flanks of these mountains, only 3 to 12 miles (5 to 19 km) inland. Another practical definition of the region is the segment of California State Route 1 from Carmel south to San Simeon. The northern end of Big Sur is about 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco, and the southern end is approximately 245 miles (394 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". This name refers to its location south of the city of Monterey.[3] The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only 3 miles (5 km) from the ocean.[4] The name Big Sur can also specifically refer to any of the small settlements in the region, including Posts, Lucia and Gorda; mail sent to most areas within the region must be addressed "Big Sur".[5] It also holds thousands of marathons each year.
