Item to be presented
SUBJECT: SIERRA HIGHWAY OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA REGIONAL
RAIL AUTHORITY (SORRA) RAILROAD, BRIDGE NO. 53C -1776L
(SOUTHBOUND) -- AGREEMENT GRANTING TEMPORARY
JURISDICTION TO THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
RESOLUTION NO. 99-83
DEPARTMENT: Transportation and Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council find that the project to seismically retrofit southbound Bridge No. 53C -1776L
is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); find that the project is of
a minor nature; and adopt Resolution No. 99-83, consenting to the establishment of the
portion of southbound Sierra Highway over the Southern California Regional Rail
Authority, south of Jakes Way, within the City of Santa Clarita, as part of the system of
highways of the County of Los Angeles.
BACKGROUND
The County will be administering the repair and retrofit of the southbound bridge on Sierra
Highway over the SCRRA railroad to meet seismic structural standards. The improvements
will be constructed at no cost to the City.
The County of Los Angeles is asking that a resolution be adopted granting jurisdiction for
the duration of the construction in order to administer the project. Granting such
jurisdiction allows the County to acquire rights-of-way, repair and improve the bridge as
part of the County highway system, and pay for such work with County funds. In addition,
the County has asked the City Council to concur that this project does not have a
significant effect on the environment and is categorically exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because it is an existing facility and the
work is rehabilitation to meet current standards for public health and safety.
