Lead Agency: Chico, City of (City of Chico)
Document Title: State Route 32 Windening Project, City of Chico, Butte County, CA
Document Type: EIR - Draft EIR
Received: 2/25/2010

Document Description: The proposed project would widen and improve ~2.6 miles of SR 32, beginning at SR 99 at the west end of the project corridor and extending east past Yosemite Drive. The project would widen the highway to include a median and 4 lanes, with most of the widening to the north within existing state righ-of-way. As the project approaches Bruce Road, the widening would likely become more symmetrical around the centerline, with most of the widening to the north and some widening to the south. The project would extend 4 lanes past Yosemite Drive and would then taper back to 2 lanes east of Yosemite Drive.
