During the design phase of the project, Caltrans <br />identified the need for a highway easement parcel over the City's real <br />property at the north end of the bridge (Exhibit 1). During recent <br />investigations into right of way ownership near the bridge, Caltrans <br />staff determined that the Caltrans did not acquire the subject highway <br />easement from the City. <br /> <br />Caltrans has been maintaining the bridge since its construction and has <br />indicated it plans to continue maintaining the bridge. In order to <br />continue this practice, Caltrans has requested the City grant the <br />easement as intended in the early 1980's. City staff has been working <br />with Caltrans and supports the donation of the highway easement. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br /> <br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the <br />proposed action is exempt from further review. Categorical Exemption ER <br />No. 2006-172 will be filed for this project. <br /> <br />251-1 <br />
