Mariposa Road and Escalon-Bellota Road Specific Plan Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration

San Joaquin County proposes to improve safety and traffic operations along the Mariposa Road–Escalon-Bellota Road corridor through a series of near- and long-term roadway improvements identified in the Mariposa Road–Escalon-Bellota Road Specific Plan. Near-term improvements would include traffic-calming measures, turn lanes, pavement markings, rumble strips, radar speed signs, and stop signs to reduce vehicle speeds and improve roadway safety. Long-term improvements would be implemented as funding becomes available and would include intersection realignments, additional traffic controls, roundabouts, and roadway widening. The Specific Plan identifies alternative designs and a preferred design for each long-term improvement location.
