CONSIDER ADOPTING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN PABLO ADOPTING THE CITY OF SAN PABLO LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN
CEQA: The Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the common-sense exemption, "where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment". The Local Roadway Safety Plan consists of information and recommendations.

The Plan does not approve a capital project plan, nor does it approve funding, permits or any other approval for specific or general capital projects within the San Pablo City limits. Future capital projects consistent with the recommendations of the LRSP may require future CEQA analysis to address any effects on the environment.
