·                    The construction of an additional northbound lane on Route 29 through the Route 12/29 Intersection.  This lane would be provided by widening the roadway into the existing unpaved median from 400 meters (m; 1310 feet) south to 650 m (2130 feet) north of the intersection.  Pavement widening would include one 3.6 m lane and one 0.8-m (2.6-foot) paved left shoulder.

·                    The extension of the two existing southbound left-turn lanes along Route 29 north of the intersection.  These lanes would be extended by approximately 190 m (625 feet).  The lanes would be 3.6 m (11.8 feet) in width and would include a 2.2 m (7.0 foot) paved median.

·                    The relocation of existing traffic signals, electrical equipment, and signs in the median and outside of the existing shoulders to match the widened intersection.

·                    The addition of a second left turn lane from Airport Boulevard to Route 29 to provide additional capacity.

 

The proposed project would be completed within the State right-of-way.  No additional right-of-way would be required.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:  Mitigated Negative Declaration Prepared.  According to the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, the proposed project would have, if mitigation measures are not included, potentially significant environmental impacts in the following areas:  air quality, cultural resources, geology, hazardous materials, noise and traffic.
