Reasons for Exemption
Reasons why project is exempt: Section 15301{b) specifically refers to existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities. The proposed installation of the camera and solar panel mounted to an existing traffic signal pole involves no ground disturbance and constitutes a minor alteration of an existing facility within the roadway right-of-way. The footprint of the proposed installation is very minimal compared to the other classes of activities listed in Section 15301(b). As such, the project involves a minor alteration of an existing facility under Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines and no further CEQA review is required.
