Document Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is planning to upgrade two existing speed limit signs on State Route 36/Antelope Boulevard in Tehama County, in front of Antelope School. The purpose of the project is to improve pedestrian safety of school children in the vicinity of the school. Currently, there is one school-zone speed limit sign on each side of Antelope school informing drivers of a reduced speed limit. To increase awareness of the school zone and reduced speed limit, the existing speed limit signs will be equipped with a flashing yellow light. Underground power will be supplied from existing utility box on the north side of State Route 36 / Antelope Boulevard. Power will be bored under Antelope Boulevard to avoid traffic delays. No additional right-of-way will be needed to make the improvements. A temporary construction easement for equipment staging will be acquired in a commercial parking lot on the north side of the highway. No biological or archaeological resources were identified within the limits of the project. If cultural resources are encountered during construction, work will cease and Caltrans Professional Qualified Staff will be consulted to evaluate the findings. Construction drawings and focused environmental studies are on file for this project at the Caltrans, District 2 office located at 1657 Riverside Drive, Redding, California.
