Meadow Farms ADA Project

Comment Period Ended 6/1/2020

A virtual public meeting was held on May 21, 2020. A copy of the presentation can be found here: https://youtu.be/feaj0Ii-41g

Project Purpose:

The purpose of the Meadow Farms ADA Project is to update US 395 facilities to meet current Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The proposed project would construct ADA-compliant sidewalks, driveways, curbs and curb ramps as well as provide designated Class II bicycle lanes on both sides of US 395 from North See Vee Lane to North Barlow Lane in Inyo County near the City of Bishop. There are two build alternatives under consideration for the project, and one no-build alternative. The two build alternatives differ in how wide the facility would become, which would alter the amount of new right-of-way needed to construct the project, if on-street parallel parking would be allowed on US 395, and if the bridge over Bishop Creek would need to be widened.                  

Please see the Draft Environmental Document (Initial Study with Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration/Environmental Assessment (MND)) for detailed information regarding the proposed alternatives.  

Mitigated Negative Declaration Study Results Available:

Caltrans has studied the effects this project may have on the environment.  Our studies show it will not significantly affect the quality of the environment. The report that explains why is called a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), Initial Study, and Environmental Assessment. Maps, the Proposed MND and the Initial Study for the Meadow Farms ADA Project are available for review and copying, weekdays at the Caltrans District 9 office located at 500 S Main St, Bishop CA 93514. The document can also be obtained by contacting the staff listed below. This document is available in hard copy format or can be emailed in pdf format.
