Graduate and undergraduate students from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo are collaborating with the City of Atascadero's planning department and San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) to develop a vision for the future of Atascadero’s El Camino Real, from Santa Rosa Road to Highway 41.

 

El Camino Real has been a major contributor to the growth and development of Atascadero since the early twentieth century, but the current conditions of its southern stretch are not living up to economic and social potential. It lacks identity and does not welcome community interaction. Currently, its design does not comply with the new State of California’s "Complete Streets Act". Students hope their proposals will help make South El Camino Real more pedestrian and bicycle friendly, and more comfortable for motorists while improving safety, livability, and economic revitalization.

The City asks for your input in the initial research and outreach of this project. The students from Cal Poly have created a survey to help their research and guide some initial concepts. You can access the survey by clicking this link.

The Students will be holding a visioning workshop on Saturday, April 21 at 10am at City Hall Council Chambers. We encourage your attendance. This will hopefully be the first workshop of many to come to help shape the future vision for the South El Camino Real Corridor.
