Public hearing for Alameda Street Widening Project on March 25, 2026.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF DRAFT IS/EA AND 
PUBLIC HEARING - ALAMEDA STREET WIDENING 
PROJECT:
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) 
and the City of Los Angeles, Department of Public 
Works, Bureau of Engineering (BOE) have prepared the 
Draft Initial Study with Proposed Mitigated Negative 
Declaration/Draft Environmental Assessment (IS/EA) for 
the Alameda Street Widening Project. Caltrans is the 
lead agency under the National Environmental Policy 
Act (NEPA), as assigned by the Federal Highway 
Administration (FHWA). The City of Los Angeles is the 
lead agency under the California Environmental Quality 
Act (CEQA). The proposed project is located on 
Alameda Street from Anaheim Street to approximately 
300 feet south of Pacific Coast Highway in the 
Wilmington community of Los Angeles. The project 
would widen Alameda Street to provide three lanes in 
each direction, with a minimum right-of-way width of 
approximately 105 feet. In addition, the project would 
reconstruct the Henry Ford Avenue/Alameda 
Street/Denni Street intersection to a standard T-
intersection configuration; upgrade railroad crossing 
facilities at the Wilmington Wye; construct a Class I 
shared-use bicycle and pedestrian path; and improve 
roadway pavement, drainage, lighting, traffic signal 
systems, and utilities. The Draft IS/EA evaluates the 
potentially significant environmental effects of the 
proposed project related to the following resource 
areas: Existing and Future Land Use; Consistency with 
Federal, State, Regional, and Local Plans and Programs; 
Community Character and Cohesion; Relocations and 
Real Property Acquisition; Utilities and Emergency 
Services; Transportation; Visual/Aesthetics; Cultural 
Resources; Water Quality and Stormwater Runoff; 
Geology, Soils, Seismicity, and Topography; Hazardous 
Waste and Materials; Air Quality; Noise and Vibration; 
and Biological Resources. With the avoidance, 
minimization, and mitigation measures incorporated, 
the proposed project would not result in substantial 
adverse impacts in any resource area. Project-level 
conformity analysis shows that the project will conform 
to the State Implementation Plan, including localized 
impact analysis with interagency consultation for 
particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and carbon 
monoxide (CO) required by 40 CFR 93.116 and 93.123. 
This project is not considered a Project of Concern 
regarding particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) as 
defined in 40 CFR 93.123(b)(1). A detailed PM10 and 
PM2.5 hot-spot analysis was not completed because 
Clean Air Act and 40 CFR 93.116 requirements are met 
without an explicit hot-spot analysis. The project 
comes from a conforming Regional Transportation Plan 
(RTP) and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). 
Comment is requested regarding the project-level 
conformity analysis. The Draft IS/EA must be made 
available for public review and comment for 30 days 
prior to making a final determination. The public 
circulation period for the Draft IS/EA will begin on 
March 10, 2026 and conclude on April 9, 2026. 
Interested parties may submit their comments in 
writing by April 9, 2026. All comments received by 
closing of the public review period will be considered 
in the Final IS/EA for the project. Written comments 
may be submitted via postal or electronic mail to
