Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/ 

EIS) on a proposal for operational 

improvements along State Route 67 (SR 

67) project in San Diego County, 

California. 

Caltrans, along with our partner the 

San Diego Association of Governments 

(SANDAG) are proposing operational 

improvements to SR 67 with emphasis 

on mobility and safety for the traveling 

public and goods, utilizing various 

modes of travel during typical and 

emergency highway conditions 

including emergency access, 

recreational access, and wildlife 

connectivity. Within this effort, 

deficiencies in multimodal 

transportation and recreational and 

wildlife movement will be addressed. 

Multimodal transportation includes bus 

as well as active bicycle and pedestrian 

options. Located along SR 67 (PM 

R5.48/21.35) from Maple view Street to 

Highland Valley/Dye Road in the City of 

Poway and the unincorporated 

communities of Lakeside and Ramona 

in San Diego County, California. The 

preliminary six alternatives currently 

under consideration include features 

such as: Additional lanes; auxiliary 

lanes, sliver widening; lane 

reconfiguration with two-way left turn 

lanes and/or turn pockets; median 

improvements, possible barriers, 

possible channelizers, and Intelligent 

Transportation Systems (ITS); extended 

shoulder, bus stops; bike paths and/or 

lanes; pedestrian improvements with 

sidewalks, signals, and/or bridges; 

recreational access improvements with 

additional parking lots, scenic turnouts, 

an/or paths; wildlife improvements with 

enhanced culverts and crossings. There 

is also the No Build alternative with no 

improvements proposed. 

Letters describing the proposed action 

and soliciting comments will be sent to 

appropriate Federal, State, Participating 

Agencies, Tribal governments, and local 

agencies, and to private organizations 

and citizens who have previously 

expressed or are known to have interest 

in this proposal. The Scoping period to 

submit comment is from January 14, 

2021 to February 15, 2021. Public 

scoping meeting will be held Virtually 

from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. PST on
