Document Description
The City, in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), proposes to construct a segment of the LCIRT which includes a pedestrian overcrossing spanning West Stockton Boulevard, SR 99, and East Stockton Boulevard; a multi-use trail east of the pedestrian overcrossing; and a pedestrian bridge spanning Whitehouse Creek. The proposed segment of the LCIRT consists of a Class I bikeway that will connect to an existing segment of the LCIRT which currently terminates at West Stockton Boulevard and at the northern embankment of the Laguna Creek Bypass Channel. An approximately 760-foot-long concrete overcrossing will then extend east, carrying the LCIRT over West Stockton Boulevard, SR 99 and East Stockton Boulevard where it will parallel the northern bank of Laguna Creek for approximately 980 feet. A prefabricated truss bridge with a concrete deck will then carry the LCIRT over Whitehouse Creek where it will connect with a segment of the LCIRT currently under final design and environmental permitting (previously called the Laguna Creek and Whitehouse Creek Multi-Functional Corridor Project – WDR018). The trail would be approximately 10-feet wide and paved, with 2-foot-wide unpaved shoulders. The trail would also be elevated above the existing ground surface elevation by approximately 2 feet. Post-and-cable fencing would be installed at the edges of the unpaved shoulders, to prevent entry by pedestrians into the surrounding areas.
Right-of-way acquisitions and temporary construction easements are needed where the LCIRT passes through privately-owned parcels and will be obtained during final design of the Project. Below ground and aerial utility relocations are also anticipated and would be completed prior to construction. Additionally, a Caltrans Encroachment permit will be required to accommodate the proposed overcrossing structure that will carry the trail over SR 99, which is a Caltrans owned facility. Construction is anticipated to last approximately 18 months. This Project is funded through both local and federal funds and is subject to compliance with CEQA and the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA). The lead agency for CEQA compliance is the City and the lead agency for NEPA is Caltrans, as delegated by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
