Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions

Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims
for Judicial Review of Actions by the
California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans), pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327.
AGENCY:
The FHWA, on behalf of
Caltrans, is issuing this notice to
announce actions taken by Caltrans, that
are final within the meaning of 23
U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to a
proposed highway project, the State
Route (SR) 85 Express Lanes Project
from Post Miles 0.0 to R24.1 on SR 85,
Post Miles 23.1 to 28.6 on United States
Highway 101 (US 101), and Post Miles
47.9 to 52.0 on US 101 in the County of
Santa Clara, State of California. Those
actions grant licenses, permits, and
approvals for the project.
DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on
behalf of Caltrans, is advising the public
of final agency actions subject to 23
U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking
judicial review of the Federal agency
actions on the highway project will be
barred unless the claim is filed on or

law that authorizes judicial review of a
claim provides a time period of less

the Environmental Analysis Branch are
8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time).
Effective
July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) assigned, and
the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) assumed,
environmental responsibilities for this
project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327.
Notice is hereby given that the Caltrans
has taken final agency actions subject to
23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing licenses,
permits, and approvals for the following
highway project in the State of
California: The SR 85 Express Lanes
Project would convert the existing HighOccupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes on SR
85 to express lanes and add a second
express lane in both directions between
SR 87 and Interstate 280 (I–280). The
conversion of the HOV lanes to express
lanes would allow single-occupant
vehicles (SOVs) to pay a toll to use the
lanes, while HOVs would continue to
use the lanes for free. The purpose of
the project is to manage traffic in the
congested HOV segments of the freeway
between SR 87 and I–280, and maintain
consistency with provisions defined in
AB 2032 (2004) and AB 574 (2007) to
implement express lanes in an HOV
lane system in Santa Clara County.
The express lanes would extend along
the entire 24.1-mile length of SR 85 and
1.5 miles of US 101 from the southern
end of SR 85 to Metcalf Road in San
Jose. The project would also convert the
SR 85/US 101 HOV direct connectors in
San Jose to express lane connectors, add
signs to 4.1 miles of US 101 north of SR
85 in Mountain View and Palo Alto and
to 1.8 miles of US 101 between Metcalf
Road and Bailey Avenue in San Jose,
and add an auxiliary lane to a 1.1-mile
segment of northbound SR 85 between
South De Anza Boulevard and Stevens
Creek Boulevard in Cupertino. The total
project length is 33.7 miles.
The actions by the Federal agencies,
and the laws under which such actions
were taken, are described in the Final
Environmental Assessment (EA)/
Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) for the project, approved on
April 20, 2015, and in other documents
in the FHWA project records. The EA/
FONSI and other project records are
available by contacting Caltrans at the
addresses provided above. The Caltrans
EA/FONSI can be viewed and
