Caltrans Accepting Public Comments for Bridge Project

Source: Caltrans

Caltrans District 5 will accept public comments on the San Antonio Creek Bridge Scour Mitigation Project on State Route 1 in Santa Barbara County from Friday, October 19 until Monday, November 19. The public may also review the Caltrans Initial Study/Environmental Assessment with a Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration at the following locations:

Santa Barbara County Planning Office at 123 East Anapamu Street in Santa Barbara.
Santa Barbara Public Library in Buellton at 140 West Highway 246.
Lompoc Public Library at 501 East North Avenue.
Santa Maria Public Library at 421 South McClelland Street.
The study is also available for review at: www.dot.ca.gov/d5/

Caltrans has found that this project will not significantly affect the quality of the environment. This project would prevent further scour damage on the south/western bent of the bridge.

Public comments or a request for a public hearing can be sent to Caltrans Senior Environmental Planner Matt Fowler at matt.fowler@dot.ca.gov or (805) 542-4603 by Nov. 19.
