 Welcome to the SR90 Extension Project and Admiralty Way Improvements Project website. Both of these projects are subject to review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). To this end, an Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) is being prepared to identify and disclose the anticipated effects of each project. Public comments on the scope of these studies are welcome. The best ways to become involved in the EIS/EIR process are described below.
About the Projects
Two projects are being evaluated in the EIS/EIR: the SR 90 Extension Project, and the Admiralty Way Improvements Project. These projects are both located in Marina del Rey in the County of Los Angeles.
The Proposed SR 90 Extension Project would realign 1,250 feet of SR 90 between Mindanao Way and Lincoln Boulevard (SR 1), and would construct a Connector Road between SR 1 and Admiralty Way. As part of this project, new traffic signals would be constructed at the SR 90/Lincoln Boulevard intersection and the SR90 Connector/Admiralty Way intersection. One of the aims of this Project is to provide a direct entrance into Marina del Rey, and three Build Alternatives that would meet this aim are currently under consideration.
The Admiralty Way Improvements Project would alter all or a portion of Admiralty Way between Fiji Way and Via Marina. Alternatives under consideration for this project include restriping Admiralty Way and relocating the median within the existing roadway right-of-way; widening Admiralty Way to permit an additional one or two travel lanes; creating a triple left turn configuration at the Admiralty Way/Via Marina intersection; and/or creating a continuous flow configuration at the Admiralty Way/Via Marina intersection. These alternatives will be evaluated as stand-alone alternatives but also, where feasible, in combination with each other. Some property acquisitions may be necessary to accommodate the Proposed Project, as well as utility relocations (including, but not limited to, electric, signal, communications, gas, water, sewer, and storm systems). br>
As a requirement of NEPA, a No Action Alternative is being considered for each project. Under the No Action Alternatives, SR 90 would not be extended and no Improvements to Admiralty Way would occur. There would be no change to the existing conditions of the project area.
How to provide your input
There are a number of ways to become involved with the environmental review process for these projects.
1. Stay Informed: This website will include regular updates about the progress of the EIS/EIR for the SR 90 Extension and Admiralty Way Improvements. You can use the links on the left to visit the Information Page where updates will be posted regarding the progress of the projects.
2. Sign up: You can use the Comment Page to sign up to the mailing list to be notified of upcoming project events. Two public scoping meetings were held in March 2006 and a further meeting was held in May 2006, to receive input from interested parties regarding the scope and content that should be included in the EIS/EIR. Further meetings will be held once the Draft EIR/EIS is released for comment, which is anticipated to occur in Spring 2007.
