To improve a section of State Route 17 in Santa Cruz County near Scotts Valley from 0.1 kilometer (9.06 mile) south to 0.43 kilometer (0.26 mile) north of Laurel Road : initial study and mitigated negative declaration

This document examines the potential environmental impacts of alternatives for a proposed project located in Santa Cruz County, California. The objective of the project is to provide additional recovery area for errant vehicles, as the existing roadway has limited stopping-sight distance and narrow shoulders. Proposed improvements include widening shoulders and lengthening turn lanes. The document details why the project is being proposed, alternatives for the project, the existing environment that could be affected by the project, and potential impacts from each of the alternatives, and the proposed avoidance, minimization and/or mitigation measures.
