08/28/2007 Finding: The changes or alterations proposed by mitigation measure TRAN-1.3 are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Caltrans and the County of San Mateo and not the City of Redwood City. Caltrans and the County of San Mateo can and should adopt proposed mitigation measure TRAN-1.3.
