Welcome

Overview:

Caltrans has prepared this Initial Study , which examines the potential environmental impacts of alternatives being considered for the proposed project. The document explains why the project is being proposed, the alternatives being considered for the project, the existing environment that could be affected by the project, potential impacts of each of the alternatives, and proposed avoidance and minimization measures.

Caltrans invites you to view the draft environmental document and submit a comment. Documents are located in the right sidebar. To comment, click the blue "Continue" button at the bottom of this page or the "Participate" tab at the top of this page.
