Sierra College Boulevard Widening Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration The Town of Loomis is proposing to widen a segment of Sierra College Boulevard between Brace Road and Taylor Road from four lanes to six lanes, and to construct sidewalks and bicycle lanes along Sierra College Boulevard. These improvements have been identified as a Town-funded Capital Improvements Project since 2019. As a capacity increasing project, the improvements were tied to the proposed Costco Environmental Impact Report as a necessary mitigation measure. All work will be constructed in existing public right of way. An IS/MND was prepared and concluded that implementation of the Project could result in a significant effect on the environment and identified mitigation measures that would reduce the significant effect to a less-than-significant level. The IS/MND (SCH#2019129052) was prepared and circulated for public review from December 16, 2019 through January 17, 2020. Mitigation measures were included in the IS/MND under a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Three comment letters from regulatory agencies were received; none of which resulted in the need to modify the IS/MND. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Conduct a public hearing and receive public input on the proposed Sierra College Boulevard Widening Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH#2019129052); and 2. Adopt Resolution #23-01 recommending Town Council approval and adoption of the Sierra College Boulevard Widening Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration.
