What are the possible consequences of not completing the Study (PR/ED) if our community wants or needs to build a traffic mitigation capital project in the future?
There is no way to determine that at this time. It would depend on a number of factors, such as the type of project desired and how much time has passed since the Study was discontinued. For example, if it was determined to build underpasses at the interchange at Third and Fourth Streets at Orange Avenue, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) would be required. Such an EIS would have to consider all “reasonable” alternatives and would have to include many of the options included in the current Study (PR/ED). Depending on the length of time that had elapsed, much of the current draft reports would likely have to be re-written or at least updated. The cost to update EIS reports pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) would be significant. While the engineering work might not change, the environmental analysis could require significant re-analysis due to the passage of time.
