Document Description
The County proposes to adopt a specific plan line for a future four-lane facility on Academy Avenue from Mountain View Avenue to Manning Avenue, a distance of approximately four miles. A preferred alignment for the future four-lane facility has been approved and designated by the County Board of Supervisors. Academy Avenue from Mountain View Avenue to State Highway 168 has been designated as a major north-south corridor for the County. This designation requires Academy Avenue between Mountain View Avenue and Manning Avenue be upgraded to an "Arterial" road from a "Local" road in the Transportation and Circulation Element of the Fresno County General Plan. A Specific Plan Line is proposed to provide constructive notice to landowners and others regarding the planned right-of-way for the future build-out of the Arterial roadway. The Specific Plan Line for the future four-lane facility will require a General Plan Amendment to reclassify the roadway from a "Local" road to an "Arterial" road. According to the General Plan, the ultimate right-of-way width for an Arterial road varies from 100 feet to 106 feet. Construction and right-of-way acquisition for the future four-lane facility are not included in this project. This project is funded by Measure C and federal funds are not involved.
