Schedule

The SR 79 Realignment Project involves a variety of studies, technical and public review, and ultimately construction. The chart above shows the approximate timing of milestones in the SR 79 Realignment process. Many activities have already been completed and are listed below.

Completed Milestones

• Realignment Study Report (1998)
• Project Study Report (2000)
• Purpose and Need (2003)
• Scoping/Public Involvement (2004/2005)
• Updated Preliminary Agreement and Criteria and Alternatives Selection (2005)
• Majority of field surveys

The technical reports for the Project have been finalized. The Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environment Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) is currently in development, in preparation for public review. Our next public meeting will be held when the Draft EIR/EIS is out for public review (expected in late 2011). RCTC will be accepting comments on the Draft EIR/EIS during this period. The Final EIR/EIS will then be prepared to respond to public comments and to document the Project alternative that has been selected for construction.
