Install/upgrade signs, channelizers, delineation, pavement markings, and retroreflective markers

Caltrans District 7 in Los Angeles County is seeking to implement a Minor B project on State Route 405 from post mile 42.2 to 44.9. The project scope involves installing and upgrading signage, channelizers, delineation, pavement markings, and retroreflective markers at various on- and off-ramp locations. The work area begins near Van Nuys and extends north toward North Hills and Panorama City. The primary objective is to improve roadway safety and reduce the frequency and severity of collisions based on Table C reports, monitoring programs, and district investigations. This state-only funded project is categorized as a forecast under solicitation EA 2Q110 with NAICS code 237310. All activities will be performed within the Caltrans right of way and include a maximum soil excavation depth of 4.5 feet for sign installation, with no requirements for vegetation removal or trimming. The project has been granted a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Class 1(c) as it consists of minor improvements to existing public structures without expanding their use.
