Title

Santa Ysabel Casino Roadway Improvement Project

Description

Caltrans proposes to issue an Encroachment Permit to the Santa Ysabel Band of Diegueno Indians (Tribe) for the widening and improvement of approximately 2,900 feet of SR-79 to improve the Santa Ysabel Casino access intersection. The roadway intersection improvements will include a deceleration lane on northbound SR-79 for traffic turning right into the proposed casino driveway. A left turn striped median will also be included in the center of the Highway for left turns into the proposed casino driveway. Improvements will also be made to the intersection of the private driveway with SR-79, opposite the casino driveway, to assist turning motions into and out of the driveway. These improvements include a northbound left turn lane into the driveway and a southbound deceleration lane for right turns into the driveway. Drainage improvements include constructing curb inlet structures and connecting storm drain to existing storm drainpipes. Highway drainage will drain the edge of the shoulder. No hardscape (signage, lighting, decorative features, etc.) is proposed within Caltrans' right-of-way (ROW). Shoulders will be provided on both sides of SR-79 for the length of the roadway intersection improvements. Shoulder widths will vary from 2 feet to 8 feet, with 8 feet provided wherever feasible given ROW and topographic constraints. All work will occur within State ROW, post mile 25.00 to 25.55.
