SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective 

July 1, 2007, the FHWA assigned, and 

Caltrans assumed, environmental 

responsibilities for this project pursuant 

to 23 U.S.C. 327. Caltrans as the 

assigned National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) agency, has prepared a Draft 

EIS on a proposal for 3.6-mile roadway 

rehabilitation project in San Mateo 

County, California. The project limits 

extend from East Santa Inez Avenue in 

the City of San Mateo to Millbrae 

Avenue in the City of Millbrae. 

The project is needed to address the 

overall condition of the existing 

roadway by correcting the following 

deficiencies: The pavement is currently 

rated as poor, with moderate alligator 

cracking and very poor ride quality 

indicating roadway structural 

inadequacy; water ponding, and 

frequent localized flooding occurs due 

to uneven roadway surfaces and 

inadequate or impacted drainage 

systems; pedestrian access is impaired 

due to lack of updated curb ramps and 

uneven sidewalks; pedestrian 

infrastructure is not compliant with 

state and federal Americans with 

Disabilities Act requirements; existing 

sidewalks lack accessible pedestrian 

signals (APS) systems, countdown 

pedestrian systems (CPS), high-visibility 

striping, or current devices; and 

pavement markings. 

The purpose of the project is to 

preserve and extend the life of the 

roadway and improve ride quality, 

improve drainage efficiency to reduce 

localized flooding, improve visibility for 

all users, and enhance pedestrian 

infrastructure by bringing it into 

compliance with Title II of the 

Americans with Disabilities Act. 

The Draft EIS is considering either 

taking no action (No Build Alternative) 

on the 3.6-mile segment of El Camino 

Real, or proceeding with the Build 

Alternative with Design Option. The 

Build Alternative with Design Option 

would rehabilitate the roadway; upgrade 

roadway drainage facilities to address 

localized flooding; and replace 

sidewalks, install curb ramps, and 

upgrade traffic signals to meet ADA 

requirements. The Design Option 

includes the possibility of keeping 

utilities overhead or relocating them 

underground. The potential 

environmental effects under either 

option are disclosed in the Draft EIS. 

Avoidance, minimization, and 

mitigation measures are also discussed 

in the Draft EIS. 

The only anticipated Federal approval 

includes a permit under the National 

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

(NPDES). Other Federal administrative 

activities include coordination with the 

Department of the Interior under 

Section 4(f) of the Department of 

Transportation Act (1966) and the 

Advisory Council on Historic 

Preservation under Section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act 

(1966). 

Since June 2019, Caltrans has been in 

consultation under Section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act to 

evaluate potential effects to the HowardRalston Eucalyptus Tree Rows, a 

historic property listed on the National 

Register of Historic Places (NRHP), and 

to evaluate potential effects to other 

historic properties determined eligible 

for the NRHP. Notifications have been 

sent to appropriate State, tribal 

governments, local agencies, private 

organizations, and citizens who have 

previously expressed or are known to 

have interest in this proposal. 

The project team anticipates 

reviewing all public comments received 

during the public comment period. The 

Draft EIS, which was approved on June 

3, 2021, will be available for public and 

agency review and comment prior to the 

public meetings to ensure that the full 

range of issues related to this proposed 

action are addressed and all significant 

issues are identified, and comments and 

suggestions are received from interested 

parties. Caltrans will respond to all the 

public comments received in writing 

during the public comment period in 

the Final EIS, expected in Spring 2022. 

Following circulation for public 

review and consideration of comments 

received, Caltrans will issue a combined 

Final EIS and Record of Decision 

document unless statutory criteria or 

practicability considerations preclude 

such issuance. Comments or questions 

concerning this proposed action and the 

Draft EIS should be directed to Caltrans 

at the address indicated above for 

further information.
