Project Description:  The project involves Lower Sycamore Creek and the Punta Gorda Street Bridge.  The project begins at the north side of the U.S. Highway 101 Sycamore Creek Bridge and extends upstream to a point approximately 75 feet beyond the Punta Gorda Street Bridge.  The project includes the replacement of the Punta Gorda Street Bridge and a creek restoration plan. The southerly portion of the project is located within the Caltrans right-of-way.  Only the improvements located north of the Caltrans right-of-way line are analyzed in the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration and are under consideration by the Architectural Board of Review (ABR) on April 30, 2012.  The improvements that are located within the Caltrans right-of-way are being evaluated and processed separately, under the existing Highway 101 Operational Improvements Project Coastal Development Permit.
