Environmental Review
The Electric Greenway has undergone environmental analysis as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This analysis evaluates the potential for environmental impacts in numerous categories. On May 1, the city released a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Electric Greenway Project. Written comments on the proposed MND were accepted from May 1 though May 31, 2019.
The revised Mitigated Negative Declaration will be considered by the City Council at a public hearing on June 27, 2019 at 7 PM at the City Council Chambers. A staff report with additional information is available here.
