RECOMMENDATION(S):

DETERMINE that the Driftwood Drive Bike Lanes project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Class 3d Categorical Exemption, and


DIRECT the Director of Conservation and Development to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk, and

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to arrange for payment of a $25 fee to Conservation and Development for processing, and a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Exemption, and

APPROVE the project, and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact to the County General Fund. The estimated project cost is $280,000 and will be funded 70% Transportation Development Act and 30% Local Road funds.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this project is to provide a continuous bikeway connection to existing bike lanes on Evora Road and Pacifica Avenue, in Bay Point, which will improve access to schools, shopping centers, and the Delta de Anza Regional Trail.

The project consists of replacing approximately 24 inlet grates with bicycle-proof grates and installing signs and striping for bicycle lanes on existing pavement in each direction of traffic on Evora Road (approximately 5 foot wide by 4,300 linear feet on each side; approx. a total of 8,600 linear feet).

The project consists of construction of limited small new structures, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines (15303 Class 3d). The project will not result in the removal of any scenic resource.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Delay in approving the project will result in a delay of design and construction of needed facility upgrades
