Environmental Impact Statement: Monterey County, CA

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that an
environmental impact statement will be prepared for a proposed highway
project in Monterey County.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: C. Glenn Clinton, Team Leader, Program
Delivery Team--North, Federal Highway Administration, 980 Ninth Street,
Suite 400, Sacramento, California 95814-2724, Telephone: 916-498-5020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans), will prepare an environmental
impact statement (EIS) on a proposed project to construct three
operational improvements to improve traffic flow on portions of State
Route 1 between Carmel Valley Road and the Route 1/68 interchange (a
distance of 2.2 miles), near the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea, in Monterey
County. The project is to add a northbound climbing land and a median
left turn lane from Carmel Valley Road to Ocean Avenue; add a left turn
lane for northbound traffic turning onto Handley Drive; and add an
additional northbound lane from Handley Drive to the Route 1/68
interchange. The other alternative under consideration would construct
one, two or none of the three proposed operational improvements. The
proposed project would basically be an upgrade of the existing
facility.
    There would be a public scoping meeting to discuss the proposed
project and another opportunity for public comment on the draft
environmental document during the circulation phase of the draft
environmental impact statement (DEIS).
    To ensure that the full range of issues related to this proposed
action is addressed and all significant issues identified, comments and
suggestions are invited from all interested parties. The views of
agencies that may have interest in the effects of the proposal on
historic properties are specifically solicited. Comments or questions
concerning this proposed action and the EIS should be directed to the
FHWA at the address provided above.
