ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions 
by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), pursuant to 
23 U.S.C. 327.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by Caltrans that are final within the meaning of 
23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to the proposed extension of 
Century Boulevard from Grape Street to Alameda Street within the City 
of Los Angeles in the County of Los Angeles, State of California. Those 
actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the project.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, 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 roadway

Chief, Environmental Planning Division, California Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway 
Administration (FHWA) assigned, and the California Department of 
Transportation (Caltrans) assumed, environmental responsibilities for 
this project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given that 
Caltrans, have taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 
139(l)(1) by issuing licenses, permits, and approvals for the following 
Century Boulevard extension project in the State of California: 
Caltrans proposes to extend Century Boulevard from Grape Street 
eastward, curving around the new central park to connect with Tweedy 
Boulevard, where it crosses the Alameda corridor. The proposed street 
will be approximately half a mile long, 74 feet to 86 feet wide, and 
will have adequate width space to accommodate buses. The Federal 
Project Identification Number associated with the project is CML-
5006(810). The purpose of the project is to create a multimodal roadway 
that extends Century Boulevard between Alameda Street and Grape Street, 
where currently no streets, bike lanes, sidewalks, or pedestrian 
enhancements exist. Century Boulevard between Grape Street and Alameda 
Street will be reclassified from a Major Highway Class II Arterial 
Street to a Modified Collector Street. The actions by the Federal 
agencies, and the laws under which such actions were taken, are 
described in the Environmental Assessment (EA) with Finding of No 
Significant Impact (FONSI) for the project, approved on February 5, 
2016, and in other documents in the FHWA project records. The EA/FONSI 
and other project records are available by contacting Caltrans at the 
address provided above. The EA/FONSI can be viewed and downloaded from 
the project Web site at http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist07/resources/envdocs/. This notice applies to all Federal agency decisions as of the 
issuance date of this notice and all laws under which such actions were

ActionNotice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327.
DatesBy this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, 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 roadway project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or before September 8, 2016. If the Federal law that authorizes judicial review of a claim provides a time period of less than 150 days for filing such claim, then that shorter time period still applies.
