Document Title: State Route 99 Corridor Bikeway Project (Capital Project #50166)
Document Type: NOD - Notice of Determination
Received: 12/1/2010

Document Description: The portion of the proposed project within the vicinity of Little Chico Creek is the installation of a clear-span bridge associated with the construction of the State Route 99 Corridor Bikeway Facility. The bridge and new bike path extending south would connect to existing bicycle facilities located on the north side of Little Chico Creek. The proposed clear-s[an bridge would extend 70 feet between two abutments placed on the north and south sides of the creek, outside of the active stream channel. Installation of the clear-span bridge would require trimming of vegetation within the creek channel for safety and clearance; however no trees would be removed. Some shrubs and groundcover (mostly Himalayan lackberry) within the riparian area would also be removed to accommodate the southerly approach.
