Provide Students with a Safe Route to School

The project includes a new Class I bicycle and pedestrian facility, including a bridge crossing over the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. The proposed project would also connect with an existing Class I bike and pedestrian path at Castroville Boulevard. The proposed project is located in northern Monterey County, northeast of the community of Castroville, and is within the Coastal Zone, thereby requiring a Coastal Zone consistency determination. Key environmental issues include natural and wetland resources, coastal resources, cultural resources, and farmlands. LSA prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to CEQA, which was approved in February 2014. LSA will conduct the biological training and biological monitoring for construction activities.
