Document Description
The City of Colton, in coordination with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), is proposing a full bridge replacement to widen the existing two-lane Mount Vernon Avenue bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) to a four-lane bridge. The proposed project is needed to ensure safety of the bridge facility, which has been determined to be structurally deficient, and ensure roadway consistency with the City’s General Plan.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
21080.13
Reasons for Exemption
The CEQA Statute (California Public Resources Code, Division 13, Environmental Quality) states under subsection 21080.13 that railroad grade separation projects which eliminate an existing grade crossing or which reconstruct an existing grade separation qualify for a statutory exemption. The proposed project would reconstruct the existing Mount Vernon Avenue/UPRR grade separation and would thus qualify for a statutory exemption.
