Background
The Blair Road at EID Canal Bridge Replacement Project (Project) is located in the community of Pollock Pines. The existing single-lane bridge is functionally obsolete and does not meet current traffic needs due to its narrow width. The new bridge is proposed to be two lanes in order to meet current design standards. The approaches to the new bridge will be widened along with improvements to the drainage ways along Blair Road. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2016.
The Board of Supervisors approved the CEQA document, a Mitigated Negative Declaration, on 7/15/2014 and adopted the project.
Reason for Recommendation
Transportation recommends that the Board sign the Easement Acquisition Agreement for Public Purposes for the Blair Bridge at EID Canal Replacement Project CIP#77119. These Easements are necessary to construct the project.
