Document Description
The City of Novato is proposing to improve and widen Olive Avenue between Redwood Boulevard and Railroad Avenue to accommodate a center turn lane to
relieve traffic along the north side of the roadway, add bike lanes and sidewalks to improve public safety, rehabilitate the existing pavement along Olive
Avenue, improve sight distance approaching the railroad crossing, and place existing overhead utilities underground. The Project would also replace 660 feet
of stormwater drainage facilities and an existing culvert along Olive Avenue to help alleviate localized flooding and convey storm flows during 25- and 100-year
storm events. As mitigation for the project's impacts to Olive Ditch, a jurisdictional aquatic resource, the project would also restore a section of riparian habitat
along Pacheco Creek. This work would consist primarily of trash removal, weed management, and planting of native riparian species.
