Approving Camino Tassajara Left Turn Lane Near Blackhawk Drive Project, Blackhawk Area.
June 2, 1992
Page 2
The project includes extending the existing median island just east of Blackhawk Drive approximately
1,000 feet eastward and providing a 12 foot wide left turn lane 450 feet in length at the east end.
Widening to the south of the median island will provide a 12 foot wide eastbound through lane and
6 feet of shoulder tapering back to the original lane width. The westbound lane will be widened
approximately 14 feet at the east end of the project to provide for vehicle deceleration and right turns
into the future school site.
This project is needed to provide safe access to the school site.
The project has been determined to be in compliance with the General Plan 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.
