Turtle Bay to Downtown Gap Completion Project JO# 2486-20

The City of Redding is implementing the Turtle Bay to Downtown Gap Completion Project, identified as job number 2486-20, to enhance non-motorized access between the downtown area and existing trail facilities. The project scope includes the construction of 1,900 feet of shared use path, a two-way cycle track, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks, along with the installation of raised crosswalks, a raised intersection, pedestrian safety lighting, protective bollards, and barricade fencing. Construction activities will involve grading, drainage modification, utility relocation, vegetation removal, paving, striping, and sign replacement, with the potential addition of irrigation equipment and vegetation planting. The work will be performed on City streets, City property, and private property within Shasta County, specifically targeting Sundial Bridge Drive, Butte Street, and Park Marina Drive. The project is managed by Project Engineer Kristen Reagan and Environmental Compliance Manager Amber Kelley. Under the California Environmental Quality Act, the project is classified as a categorical exemption under section 15301(c) because it involves minor alterations to existing facilities with negligible expansion of use and no significant environmental impact. The project is categorized under NAICS code 237310 for highway, street, and bridge construction.
