Dear City Council members,
I'd like to discuss the thinking that the San Luis Ranch Project will reduce the number of commuting trips and overall be
beneficial to traffic within the City and regionally.
The answer is yes for those people who are now commuting into San Luis Obispo and purchase a home in the San Luis
Ranch Project. The answer to- will the number of actual vehicle trips, vehicle miles traveled and the total amount of time
vehicle drivers spend on the road be reduce is a lot less quantifiable
The project itself creates right at 17,000 trips per day. The estimated number of commute trips per SLOCOG is 16,839
inbound between 7-9 AM and 18,759 trips outbound 4-6 PM. Obviously it depends on how many people who are
commuting into San Luis Obispo and now purchase a home in the San Luis Ranch project may reduce those commute
trips. The project, along with near term buildout is going to cause significant delays at a number of studied intersections.
It's at all possible that total trip times for all drivers in the region actually increase. Current trip times will increase for
all traffic along the City's road segments including commuters who now reside at San Luis Ranch. If the
So it's a lot more difficult to say that this project will have beneficial impacts for drivers within the region and more
importantly the City as whole.
Sincerely,
Brett Cross
