OPEN HOUSE!
Downtown Atascadero
El Camino Real Traffic Calming Plan
The City of Atascadero would like to invite the public to a series of open house events over the
next couple of weeks to help us with a traffic calming plan for our Downtown. The plan will
evaluate options to reduce El Camino Real to one lane in each direction within the Downtown
between Highway 41 and Rosario Avenue. The intent is to reduce the speed of vehicular traffic in
an effort to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety, and increase the viability of downtown
businesses while providing additional parking opportunities.
This open house series will allow the public to view conceptual plans and provide input while
giving residents the opportunity to meet one on one with staff to get their questions answered and
to complete a survey regarding their priorities for El Camino Real through the downtown.
The following provides a complete list of the Open House dates, times and locations:
Historic City Hall, Lewis Ave. Entrance, Council Chambers, 4th Floor:
Thursday, April 11th, 4-7 pm
Saturday, April 13th, 9 am – 12 noon
Tuesday, April 16th, 10 am – 1 pm
Farmer’s Market Booth, across from Information Tent (Palma & East Mall):
Wednesday, April 17th, 3-6 pm
There will be no formal presentations, so come by anytime during the event to let us know what
you think. We look forward to the opportunity to share information and to listen to you! If there
are any questions, please contact Community Development at (805) 461-5035.
