Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in 
California

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims for Judicial Review of Actions 
by FHWA.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the California 
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) pursuant to its assigned 
responsibilities under 23 U.S.C. 327 that are final within the meaning 
of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to a proposed highway 
project, State Route 91 from post miles 15.6-21.6 in Riverside County, 
California. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for 
the project.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA 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 May 19, 2008. If the Federal law 
that authorizes judicial review of a claim provides a time period of 
less than 180 days for filing such claim, then that shorter time period 
still applies.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marie J. Petry, California Department 
of Transportation District 8, 464 W. 4th Street, San Bernardino, CA 
94201-1400, telephone (909) 383-6379, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the California 
Department of Transportation (Caltrans), pursuant to its assigned 
responsibilities under 23 U.S.C. 327, has taken final agency actions 
subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by approving the following highway 
project in the State of California. When completed, the State Route 91 
(SR-91) High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) project will widen existing SR-91 
by adding one HOV lane in each direction, adjacent to the median 
between Adams Street (Kilometer Post [KP] 25.11 [Post Mile {PM 15.6]) 
and University Avenue (KP 32.93 [PM 20.46]) in the city of Riverside by 
adding a single HOV lane adjacent to the median in each direction. The 
westbound HOV lane will begin immediately after the State Route 60/SR-
91/ Interstate 215 (SR-60/91/I-215) separation and continue to west of 
Mary Street. The eastbound HOV lane will connect to the existing HOV 
lane east of Adams Street, will continue to approximately 1,000 feet 
west of the SR 60/91/I-215 interchange, and will then merge into the 
existing mixed-flow lane. The project will include an addition of one 
eastbound auxiliary lane between Indiana Avenue and Central Avenue and 
a westbound auxiliary lane between Central Avenue and Arlington Avenue. 
In addition, the project will reconfigure existing interchanges, 
replacement of existing over crossings, widening of existing under 
crossings, and re-striping within existing right-of-way to accommodate 
the mainline and interchange improvements. Other project improvements 
include retaining walls, sound walls, landscaping, pavement re-
striping, and the modification and extension of various drainage 
structures to accommodate the widening of SR-91. Project improvements 
between University Avenue and the SR-60/91/I-215 interchange consist of 
pavement re-striping only.
    The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such 
actions were taken, are described in the Final Environmental Assessment 
(FEA) for the project, approved on August 30, 2007, in the FHWA Finding 
of No Significant Impact (FONSI) issued on August 30, 2007, and in 
other documents in the FHWA project records. The FEA, FONSI, and other 
project records are available by contacting FHWA or the California 
Department of Transportation, District 8 at the addresses provided
