Interstate 80/ Richards Boulevard Interchange Improvements Project

Interstate 80/ Richards Boulevard Interchange Improvements Project

The City of Davis, in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), proposes to reconstruct the westbound ramps at the I-80/Richards Boulevard interchange in the City of Davis by converting from a cloverleaf to a tight diamond configuration, construct a grade-separated bicycle and pedestrian path along the west side of Richards Boulevard, close the isolated westbound off-ramp to Olive Drive, and make other related improvements to relieve existing congestion at the interchange to accommodate increased traffic demand generated by approved and/or proposed developments in the project area and to reduce conflicts between bicyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles. The City of Davis is the CEQA Lead Agency for the proposed project. Caltrans is a Responsible Agency for the proposed project. As defined in Public Resources Code Section 21069, a Responsible Agency is a public agency, other than the lead agency, which has responsibility for carrying out or approving a project. Caltrans is a participant in the City of Davis CEQA process for the proposed project and will use the City’s CEQA document when making decisions on the proposed project.
