The Holly Street/US 101 Interchange — Fixing the City's Most Dangerous Intersection
active• sancarlos
The Holly Street/Highway 101 interchange is San Carlos's most notorious safety failure — a notorious bottleneck and pedestrian hazard that sits at the gateway between the Caltrain station, downtown San Carlos, and the Bay shoreline. A midterm plan to address the safety concerns at the Holly Street/Highway 101 interchange was recommended by the San Carlos Planning Commission and identified by City Council as a key priority for 2026, with Interim City Manager Nil Blackburn emphasizing progress as a specific strategic goal. The city has previously sought Active Transportation Program funding for a dedicated pedestrian and bicycle overcrossing — a project that would dramatically improve safety by eliminating all roadway intersections for pedestrians and cyclists crossing US 101 at Holly Street, providing a safe route to the Caltrain station, Redwood Shores, and the Bay Trail — but full funding has remained elusive. The Northeast Area Specific Plan's buildout will add thousands of new residents east of US 101, making the interchange fix even more urgent.
