The document discusses plans to add an express lane to Highway 101 in San Mateo County to reduce congestion. It notes growing traffic problems and outlines four alternatives, including modifying existing lanes or adding new lanes. It covers technical studies being conducted, selection criteria regarding travel times and throughput. Funding is secured for environmental review and preliminary design, but more is needed for full design and construction. Future policy questions around tolling and revenue need answers. Public outreach with meetings is planned through 2018 when environmental clearance is due.
