Document Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes a project to restore landscaping and irrigation systems damaged by fire near Livingston, California. The project zone encompasses both the northeast and southwest quadrants of the Winton Parkway on-ramps to State Route 99, stretching from 0.3 miles south to 0.1 miles north of the Winton Parkway Overcrossing (SR-99 postmiles R30.1 to R30.6), in Merced County. The purpose of this project is to revitalize the fire-damaged landscaping and irrigation systems, enhancing the aesthetics of the on-ramps and potentially improving air quality through reintroduced vegetation. The fire significantly damaged the existing landscaping and irrigation systems, leaving the area barren and potentially susceptible to erosion. Restoration efforts are necessary to return the on-ramps to a visually appealing state and potentially mitigate environmental impacts caused by the fire.
