The project would widen and <br /> add lanes to SR 84 (hereafter simply Woodside Road),reconstruct all ramp connections to US <br /> 101, and construct direct-connect flyover ramps between US 101 and Veterans Boulevard. The <br /> project would also construct additional pedestrian and bicycle facilities throughout the project <br /> area and improve the intersections of Woodside Road with Veterans Boulevard, Broadway, and <br /> Bay Road to the south of US 101, and Seaport Boulevard/East Bayshore Road/Blomquist Road <br /> to the north of US 101. The project extends for 1.9 miles along US 101 and 0.4 mile along <br /> Woodside Road. The total project length is 2.3 miles. <br /> The Department is the National Environmental Policy Act(NEPA) lead agency per assignment <br /> of responsibilities by the Federal Highway Administration(FHWA)pursuant to Title 23,USC, <br /> Section 327. The Department is also the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) lead <br /> agency for the project. <br /> The purpose of the project is to alleviate peak-hour congestion at the US 101/Woodside Road <br /> interchange; improve traffic operations within the project limits at the local street intersections <br /> of Woodside Road with Veterans Boulevard,Broadway,Bay Road,and Seaport <br /> Boulevard/Blomquist Street/East Bayshore Road; and improve bicycle and pedestrian access <br /> across US 101 within the project limits. <br /> This Draft Initial Study/Environmental Assessment(IS/EA) addresses the proposed project's <br /> potential to have adverse impacts on the environment. Potential impacts and avoidance, <br /> minimization, and mitigation measures are summarized in Table S-1. <br /> US 101/Woodside Road Interchange <br /> Improvement Project i March 2016 <br />
