Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15601(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
The Project will implement new pedestrian and bicycle facilities that will improve safety, access, or mobility, including new facilities, within the public ROW; improve customer information and wayfinding for transit riders, bicyclists, or pedestrians within the public ROW; and is transit prioritizing. Additionally, the analysis of environmental resources determined that the Project would not result in significant impacts and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Project may have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, the "common sense" exemption would apply to this Project.
