Public Hearing on SR-710 Planned
Following the circulation of the SR-710 North Study Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) in March 2015, Caltrans reviewed comments received concerning potential impacts of the build alternatives on cultural resources within the study area.
