SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective
July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) assigned, and
Caltrans assumed environmental
responsibilities for this project pursuant
to 23 U.S.C. 327. Caltrans as the
delegated National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) agency will prepare
a Draft Environmental Impact Statement
on a proposal for a highway project in
San Diego County, California.
The project is approximately three
miles in length and its project limits are
post miles (PM) 1.4 to 4.4 along SR–94,
PM 12.95 to 13.51 along Interstate 805
(I–805), and PM R0.655 to R3.4 along
State Route 15 (SR–15). The proposed
action includes the addition of two
dedicated HOV/BRT lanes and,
depending on the alternative, the
following additional improvements:
Relocating left-hand connectors;
constructing new interchanges and
improvements along the existing
connectors; removal, replacement, and
relocation of bridge overcrossings; and
drainage modifications within the
project corridor. Retaining/Sound walls
would also be added and new right-ofway (ROW) would be required.
Two build alternatives and one no
build alternatives are under
consideration. The No Build Alternative
assumes that no improvements would
be made along the SR–94 project
corridor and that conditions would
remain the same. No HOV/BRT lanes
would be constructed, and no other
freeway improvements would be made.
Maintaining existing conditions would
not manage the available capacity on
SR–94 and would not facilitate the use
of HOV/BRT.
Alternative 1 would provide a HOV/
BRT lane in each direction of SR–94
between I–5 and I–805. These lanes
would be constructed in the median of
SR 94. The HOV/BRT lanes also include
direct connectors at I–805 in the northwest and east-south directions and at
SR–15 in the south-west and east-north
directions. This alternative would

remove the left hand branch connectors
at the SR–94/SR–15 interchange and
replace them with right hand branch
connectors. The estimated capital cost
of this alternative is 465 million dollars.
Alternative 2 would provide a HOV/
BRT lane in each direction on SR–94
between I–5 and I–805. These lanes
would be constructed in the median of
SR 94. The HOV/BRT lanes also include
direct connectors at I–805 in the northwest and east-south directions, and at I–
15 in the south-west and east-north
directions. The I–805/SR–94 HOV/BRT
connector would stay elevated over SR–
15 and 32nd Street and touchdown west
of 30th Street. The existing left hand
branch connectors at SR–15 would be
left in place. The estimated capital cost
of this alternative is 452 million dollars.
This project will be subject to the
Section 6002 Environmental Review
process and potential final approvals for
the proposed project include, but are
not limited to, consultation with the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under
Section 7 of the Federal Endangered
Species Act; conformance with Section
404 of the Clean Water Act;
conformance with Section 4(f) of the
Department of Transportation Act of
1966; conformance under Section 106 of
the National Historic Preservation Act;
and conformance of the Clean Air Act.
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments will be sent to
appropriate Federal, State, Participating
Agencies, and local agencies, and to
private organizations and citizens who
have previously expressed or are known
to have interest in this proposal. A
public scoping meeting will be held at
the Sherman Heights Community Center
in San Diego, California on January 12,
2011 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. In addition,
a public hearing will be held. Public
notice will be given of the time and
place of the meeting and hearing. The
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
will be available for public and agency
review and comment prior to the public
hearing.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to this proposed action are
addressed and all significant issues
identified, comments, and suggestions
are invited from all interested parties.
Comments or questions concerning this
proposed action and the EIS should be
directed to Caltrans at the address
