I was looking up the Stevens Creek Trail and found this brochure from 1961 that also happens to show proposed CA 85: http://www.stevenscreektrail.org/Resources/1961_SCC_brochure_map.jpg

It looks a lot like 85 does today between I-280 and US 101. North of US 101, this proposed CA 85... keeps going. There's another interchange at San Antonio Road Extension, then 85 ends at the Outer Bayshore Freeway, on the opposite side of Moffett NAS.

The "Outer Bayshore" is probably the proposed CA 87 "Bayfront Freeway" that would have paralleled US 101 to the east all the way up the Peninsula. But the "Outer Bayshore" name was new to me. There's basically one other citation online: http://www.almanacnews.com/news/show_story.php?id=4569

She had become interested in a number of local matters, including the county-wide master plan and regional planning, as well as environmental issues, such as Save the Bay, and a proposal to extend Willow Road in Menlo Park as a freeway through Portola Valley and Woodside and on to the coast.

...

The "Freeway Revolt" stopped the extension of Willow Road to the coast; the proposed outer Bayshore Freeway was never built; and a plan was scuttled to "level" the top of San Bruno Mountain to provide fill for proposed development in and around San Francisco Bay.

The "Willow Road" project is CA 84.

On the other end of things in San Jose...was a proposed Santa Teresa/Almaden route, a Route 87 extension?  that I've only seen here:
