Reasons for Exemption
The project involves repair and maintenance of existing City streets. The work will not result in any expansion of the roadway beyond the boundaries of the existing right-of-way or increase the number of existing travel lanes. There is no possibility that the proposed reconstruction and resurfacing on an existing intersection and turn lane, repaving a local street, and constructing ADA compliant handicap ramps and sidewalks will have a significant effect on the environment regarding aesthetics, biological resources, hazardous materials, mineral resources, public services, utilities, agricultural resources, cultural resources, hydrology, water quality, wetlands, noise, or recreation. The project work will occur within the existing road right-of-way. The project is not increasing the number of traffic lanes or the traffic speeds in the area. There are no visual resources that will be affected by the project.
