all users, and enhance pedestrian
infrastructure by bringing it into
compliance with Title II of the ADA.
Currently, the range of alternatives
being considered includes either taking
no action on the 3.6-mile segment of El
Camino Real, or proceeding with one of
several potential build alternatives. The
build alternatives would all involve
performing roadway rehabilitation with
upgrades to drainage, pedestrian, and
roadway infrastructure to achieve the
purpose and need of the project. The
roadway rehabilitation alternatives may
include the following: Rehabilitation
while keeping utilities overhead;
rehabilitation while relocating utilities
underground; rehabilitation while
reducing the number of travel lanes
from 4 to 2 and including a 12-foot
center-turning lane while keeping
utilities overhead; and rehabilitation
while reducing the number of travel
lanes from 4 to 2 and including a 12-foot
center-turning lane while relocating
utilities underground. Varying roadway
widths (ranging 44–46 feet), travel lane
widths (ranging 10–11 feet), and
sidewalk widths (ranging 4–6 feet) are
being considered to avoid and minimize
impacts to the Howard-Ralston
Eucalyptus Tree Rows, where feasible.
Avoidance and minimization measures
will be studied and implemented
depending upon the limits of state right
of way, Caltrans’ ability to meet state
highway design and safety provisions,
and/or other factors.
The only anticipated Federal approval
includes a permit under the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES). Other Federal administrative
activities include coordination with the
Department of the Interior under
Section 4(f) of the Department of
Transportation Act (1966) and the
Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation under Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act
(1966). Notices describing the proposed
action and soliciting comments will be
sent to appropriate Federal cooperating
and participating agencies.
Since June 2019, Caltrans has been in
consultation under Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act to
evaluate potential effects to the HowardRalston Eucalyptus Tree Rows, a
historic property listed on the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP), and
to evaluate potential effects to other
historic properties determined eligible
for the NRHP. Notifications have been
sent to appropriate State, tribal
governments, local agencies, private
organizations, and citizens who have
previously expressed or are known to
have interest in this proposal.

The project team anticipates
reviewing all public comments received
during the public scoping period and
circulating a Draft EIS. A public hearing
will be held once the Draft EIS is
completed. Public notice will be given
of the time and place of the meeting and
hearing. The Draft EIS 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 are
identified, and comments and
suggestions are invited from all
interested parties. Comments or
questions concerning this proposed
action and the Draft EIS should be
directed to Caltrans at the address
provided above.
