Board adopts CEQA addendum for South Main/Soda Bay widening; approves narrow exceptions to utility undergrounding
Summary
The board adopted an addendum to the 2012 environmental review for the South Main‑Soda Bay widening and bike‑lane project (including nighttime construction analysis) and approved a measured amendment to an existing underground utilities district to allow two above‑ground utility poles at locations where cultural resources or ROW constraints make undergrounding impracticable.
The Board adopted an addendum Nov. 18 to the project’s earlier environmental document, concluding that proposed nighttime construction and other modest project refinements would not create new significant environmental impacts. County planners and public works staff said the project’s NEPA documentation had been revalidated by Caltrans and that key permits (Army Corps 404, RWQCB 401 and an imminent CDFW stream‑alteration agreement) were in hand.
