Street Improvements | The Circulation pattern for the city was laid out in 1913. The network consists of radial routes emanating from the City Hall area supported by a series of arterial rings meant to convey traffic to outlying area. In 1954 US 101 was constructed through the rings to provide a convenient link to northern and southern California.
With over 140 miles of City maintained roads, the City has developed the Atascadero Road Program to aggressively maintain the road surface and improve the circulation.
New development will be required to construct and repair the circulation system to provide access to the site. Curb, gutter and sidewalk are required in the urban core but not in rural areas of the city. | Community Services | Education
