PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND EFFECTS: ITEMS 8,9,13,25,27,33 & 34 The project consists of new pavement; curb return, wheelchair ramp and corner sidewalk installation; traffic signal installation; drainage improvements, etc. The project covers the intersection of Haven Avenue and Banyan Street plus approximately 450 linear feet of the south side of Banyan Street, west of Haven Avenue. The anticipated project schedule for construction is in the g3/g4 fiscal year. The project site is located in the northern portion of the City, just south of Chaffey College. A traffic signal, drainage improvements and new pavement are needed to improve traffic flow. Wheelchair ramps and curb sidewalks are needed for pedestrian safety. The proposed improvements will not have a substantial impact on plants, animals, land resources or any obvious historical, cultural or scenic aspects. Noise, vibration, dust and odors will temporarily increase at the project site during times of construction. After completion of the project, all noise, vibration, dust and odors created by this project will cease and return to pre-proJect levels. ~e~olutioE1 1~0. 93-195 Page6 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM (Part II- Initial Study) Name of Proponent City of Rancho Cucamonga 2.

Earth There will be subgrade soils and aggregate base preparation and compaction for the replacement and/or widening sections of asphalt concrete pavement. 6. Noise Existing noise levels will increase due to equipment operations during construction, but could be mitigated by the installation of noise attenuators and the restriction of hours of operation of equipment. 13. Transportati on/Ci rcul ati on a, d and f. During construction operations, construction equipment traffic will increase at the project site and near the project perimeter. Alterations to present patterns of vehicular and pedestrian circulation and any possibility of traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians during construction can be mitigated by the proper use of roadway warning and detour signs. 14. Public Services a, b and c. This project will have an interim effect on the present pattern of circulation of vehicles (i.e., police, fire, school). Such circulation pattern impacts can be mitigated by prior notification to the respective agencies of the proposed street work, giving time, date and duration of said work.
