SCH #________

This Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) evaluates a reasonable range of project alternatives, assesses the individual and cumulative impacts resulting from the proposed project, identifies measures to minimize or avoid significant impacts, and presents the associated mitigation measures. A Corridor Management Plan (CMP) for State Route 163 (SR163) between "A" Street and the Sixth Avenue undercrossing in the City of San Diego was prepared by the the California Department of Transportation - District 11 (Department). The CMP developed a coordinated and programmatic approach to address needed safety improvements, corridor preservation and enhancement efforts on SR163. The CMP is being used as a guide for the preparation of this DEIR. Comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Report are due by February 26, 2004.
