Public Hearing on Highway One Project?
If you want Cal Trans to have a public hearing on a project about a mile and a half north of Nacimiento-Fergusson Rd., called the Culvert Replacement Project near Limekiln Creek, we will have to request it. Send your request to matt.c.fowler@dot.ca.gov. You can request a copy of the project’s initial study and mitigated negative declaration from the same person. (Note: I saw this notice in the Pine Cone and asked the PIO about it, and she said she was sending it out the next day to the usual suspects.)
