History
|
Barney Avenue between Camino al Lago and Valparaiso Avenue, and Camino de los Robles between Altschul Avenue and Alameda de las Pulgas, are the next two streets on the West Menlo Park road priority list adopted by your Board that are proposed for reconstruction.
|
|
|
The street segments to be reconstructed and the standards to be used were based on the results of property owner surveys, and your Board subsequently authorized the Department to proceed with the design work.
|
|
|
Discussion
|
Plans and specifications for the work have now been prepared.
|
|
|
The San Mateo County Planning Department has determined that this project is exempt from the requirements for preparation of an EIR under Section 15301, Class 1, of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and we have filed a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk.

We are now recommending that your Board authorize calling for bids for the proposed work.

A resolution has been approved as to form by County Counsel.
