03-3G670 Pedestrian Safety Improvements

Caltrans District 3 is initiating the Pedestrian Safety Improvements project, identified as EA 03-3G670 and Federal Aid Project Number 0325000073, to reduce pedestrian and motorist collisions. The scope of work involves upgrading crosswalks to a high visibility ladder pattern, restriping pavement markings, and installing or upgrading road signs and posts. These improvements will be implemented across various locations in California, specifically targeting state routes in Colusa, Yolo, Sacramento, Yuba, and Sierra counties, including the cities of Colusa, Knights Landing, Elk Grove, Marysville, and Sierra City. The project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 237310 and has been granted a categorical exclusion under NEPA and a statutory exemption under CEQA, as the work involves negligible expansion of use within existing highways and intersections. Contractors must comply with specific environmental and cultural standards, including SSP 14-2.03A for archaeological resources, SSP 14-8.02 for noise control, and SSP 7-1.02C for emission reduction. Administrative oversight is provided by Environmental Planner Jordan Schmidt and Construction Liaison Trevor Garrison.
