The City would implement a traffic control plan during <br /> construction and no roads would be completely closed at anytime during construction.Upon completion, <br /> traffic would move through the roadway more quicklythan current conditions,with less congestion north <br /> of Trask Avenue and south of 17t" Street. <br /> 4.18 Tribal Cultural Resources <br /> Due to the highly disturbed nature of the Project Site, the likelihood of discovering tribal cultural <br /> resources is relatively low. The search results were negative, meaning that a search of the Sacred Lands <br /> File by the NAHC did not indicate the presence of Native American Sacred Lands in the Project Area. The <br /> Project does not include excavation. It should also be noted that AB 52 does not apply to Categorical <br /> Exemptions. Therefore, no impact would occur. <br /> 4.19 Utilities and Service Systems <br /> The Proposed Project involves the widening and restriping of an existing roadway.
