Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Initial Study/Negative Declaration?

The Initial Study/Negative Declaration is an environmental review under CEQA. It confirmed this project would not cause significant environmental impacts, allowing it to proceed without further study.

What are weaving conflicts?

Weaving happens when vehicles entering and exiting the freeway must quickly change lanes in a short distance, creating unsafe conditions and delays.

What is a collector-distributor road?

A collector-distributor road runs parallel to the freeway to separate local and through traffic. In this location, it contributes to congestion and safety concerns.

What changes are being planned?

The project replaces existing ramps with a diamond interchange, adds a signalized intersection at Beverly Boulevard, and removes the collector-distributor road.

How will nearby communities benefit?

The redesign will reduce collisions, improve ramp operations, and ease congestion on Beverly Boulevard and nearby streets, making travel safer and more efficient.
