Port Chicago Highway at Willow Pass Road Intersection Improvements Project
October 12, 1993
Page Two
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The project includes modifying existing median islands, traffic signals and striping to install a
second left turn lane from Port Chicago Highway onto Willow Pass Road. Sidewalk will be
installed at the northwest corner of the intersection and along the south side of Willow Pass
Road to conform to existing improvements. Minor storm drain improvements will be constructed
to improve drainage of the intersection. Landscaping will also be installed within the project
area.
The additional left turn lane is needed because traffic currently backs up on Port Chicago
Highway due to motorists using this road as a bypass around Highway 4. The landscaping and
other improvements will improve the appearance at this intersection as it leads into Bay Point.
The project has been determined to be in compliance with the General Pian and is exempt from
CEQA because it consists of minor alterations of existing public facilities involving no expansion
of use per Section 15301 of the CEQA guidelines.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project will result in a delay of design and construction and may
jeopardize funding.
