Re: Council Agenda Report Item 7b—US 101/Prado Road Interchange Project Update and Award of
PS&E Design Contract
Mr. Morn Yu`
The San Luis Obispo Council of Governments is pleased that the City is progressing this important
project to the Project Specifications & Estimates phase and fully supports the award of this contract to
Consor. The Prado Road Interchange supports SLOCOG to achieve important regional goals and
objectives by supporting housing development, reducing vehicle miles travelled and greenhouse gas
emissions, and enhancing the overall multimodal ecosystem in a quickly growing part of the region. The
project will be transformative for the city and the region, but local and regional transit service
enhancements that can be supported by this project should be further evaluated.
While SLOCOG has taken recent programming actions to remove funding from the construction phase
of this project we have received Board direction to readdress our funding commitment in the 2026
Funding Cycle with the goal of restoring previous funding commitments.
SLOCOG fully supports staff's recommendations on this item and we look forward to coordinating with
you and your staff as we progress through the funding and project development process.
Sincerely,
_ n
