Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in
California
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims for Judicial Review of Actions
by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to
announce actions taken by Caltrans that are final. The actions relate
to a proposed extension of El Segundo from Allied Way to Nash Street in
the County of Los Angeles, State of California. Those actions grant
licenses, permits, and approvals for the project.
DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is advising the
public of final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim
seeking judicial review of the Federal agency actions on the highway
project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or before February
7, 2020. If the Federal law that authorizes judicial review of a claim
provides a time period of less than 150 days for filing such claim,
then that shorter time period still applies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, the FHWA assigned,
and Caltrans assumed, environmental responsibilities for this project
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given that the Caltrans,
have taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by
issuing licenses, permits, and approvals for the following highway
project in the State of California: The City of El Segundo proposes to
extend Park Place from Allied Way to Nash Street with a railroad grade
separation. Park Place currently exists in two segments with a roughly
quarter mile gap across an undeveloped area which consists of Union
Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF)
railroad spurs. The project would implement a gap closure to develop
Park Place as an alternate east-west route between Pacific Coast
Highway (PCH) and Douglas Street to relieve congestion along portions
of Rosecrans Avenue and PCH, as well as to improve local traffic
circulation and access to and from the 1-105 freeway. The actions by
the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such actions were taken,
are described in the Final Environmental Assessment (EA) with a Finding
of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
with a NOD (Notice of Determination) for the project, approved on April
4, 2019, and in other documents in the FHWA project records. The Final
EA/FONSI and EIR/NOD, and other project records are available by
contacting Caltrans at the addresses provided above. The Final EA/FONSI
and EIR/NOD can be viewed and downloaded from the project website at
https://www.elsegundo.org/depts/planningsafety/planning/ea_1152_park_place_extension_project/default.asp, or viewed at public
