GP Revision - Reclassification of Harbor Blvd between Bastanchury Rd and Berkeley Ave

The City of Fullerton is seeking to reclassify a segment of Harbor Boulevard between Bastanchury Road and Berkeley Avenue from a six-lane major arterial to a four-lane primary arterial as part of an amendment to its Master Plan of Arterial Highways and Exhibit 6: Roadway Classifications. This change aims to align the roadway’s designation with the city's General Plan and enhance safety and active transportation by adding dedicated bike lanes and restriping the corridor. The project has been endorsed by the Orange County Transportation Authority and qualifies for a CEQA categorical exemption under Sections 15301(c) and 15304(h), indicating minimal environmental impact and eliminating the need for extensive environmental review. A Notice of Exemption has been filed, triggering public notice and recordkeeping requirements under California law. The project is led by the City of Fullerton with support from OCTA, which serves as the accepting authority for grant-related agreements, with acceptance activities centered at its headquarters in Orange, California. No formal federal contract clauses, pricing structures, or standard procurement methodologies are present; the effort is governed by municipal planning processes and local administrative procedures. The initiative does not include defined contract performance periods, delivery schedules, invoicing systems, or assigned contracting officers, reflecting its nature as a plan amendment rather than a traditional service or construction contract. Funding may derive from sources such as the EPA Brownfields Grant and Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant, though specific accounting codes or appropriation data are not provided. The project’s success hinges on regulatory compliance, public transparency, and alignment with regional transportation goals rather than competitive bidding or formal performance metrics.
