Document Description
The proposed project consists of a Class II bike lane along approximately 2.5 miles of Terra Bella Street between San Fernando Rd and Wakefield Ave in the City of Los Angeles Council Districts 6 and 7. The project is part of the City's 2010 Bicycle Plan incorporated into the City's Mobility Plan 2035. This project at some segments also includes a roadway reallocation reducing the number of through vehicle lanes from two in each direction to one in each direction; removal of either two-way left turn lane or parking lane; and the addition of bike lanes. Proposed improvements will achieve calmer traffic on neighborhood streets, reduced vehicular speeds, and increased safety for all modes of travel.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1 and 4; California Code of Regulations, title 14, Section 15301 and 15304
Reasons for Exemption
State CEQA Guidelines Class 1 (Section 15301) states a project is categorically exempt if it involves the operation, repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing highways and streets, including "alterations such as the addition of bicycle facilities" like "bicycle lanes... and other similar alterations that do not create additional automobile lanes." State CEQA Guidelines Class 4 (section 15304) categorically exempts the creation of bicycle lanes on existing rights-of-way. This project adds a striped Class II bicycle lane to an existing street ("right-of-way") and does not create additional automobile lanes. None of the limitations set forth in State CEQA Guidelines 153000.2 apply.
