State Route 84 Niles Canyon Safety Improvements

Safety ImprovementsCaltrans announces that it is officially reopening the review and comment period for the Environmental Impact Report for the State Route 84 (SR-84) Niles Canyon II Safety Improvement Project that was circulated for public review in June 2010. Caltrans is accepting comments until Friday, August 5, 2011 at 5:00 p.m.

As a member of the public, you are welcome to Send Comments to us about Caltrans projects at any time. However, this official comment period is an opportunity to have your comments recorded and addressed in the final Environmental Document.

While you are able to voice either your support or opposition for a project during the official comment period, the most beneficial comments include the following:

• Specific alternatives or mitigation measures that would provide better ways to avoid or mitigate any potential environmental effects of the project
• Concerns that are not previously addressed in the environmental document
• Inaccuracies or missing information
• Statistical data or facts to support your concerns

The public review process requires Caltrans to respond to these types of comments by making changes to the final environmental document or the project design. If changes are not possible, Caltrans is required to provide a detailed, good-faith, reasoned response.

Thank you for taking the time to help shape the safety and beauty of this scenic highway by providing your input.
