Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the San Jose Creek Multi-Use Bikeway ProjectThe City of Pomona (City) is proposing the San Jose Creek Multi-Use Bikeway Project (proposed project), which consists of the development of a 3.5-mile off-road bike and pedestrian path along a segment of San Jose Creek between Temple Avenue and Murchison Avenue in the City of Pomona in Los Angeles County, California. The proposed project is envisioned to provide pedestrians and bicyclists a safer off-street path of travel between community destinations and amenities in the city. It would consist of 15 access points, including 6 at-grade street crossings, as well as stormwater capture treatments, trailhead gateways and access points, and wayfinding and safety signage.The City, as Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has completed a Draft Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the proposed project, which discloses potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed project and recommends mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. The City has determined that with the incorporation of the mitigation measures for biological resources, cultural resources, noise, and tribal cultural resources, the proposed project would not have a significant adverse effect on the environment. Accordingly, the City intends to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration, pursuant to Section 21080(c) of the Public Resources Code.The Draft IS/MND and supporting environmental documents are available for public review at the City of Pomona, located at 505 South Garey Avenue, Pomona, California 91766, between 7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday.
