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 the 
Caltrans has taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) 
by issuing licenses, permits, and approvals for the following Off the 
Highway System Project in the State of California: CV Link Multi-Modal 
Path Project. CV Link proposes to construct a 49 mile 
multi-modal transportation path for use by bicycles, pedestrians and 
low speed electric vehicles. The project is located in the Coachella 
Valley and extends across eight (8) municipalities, unincorporated 
county lands, and reservation land of three (3) Native American Tribes. 
The purpose of the project is to address a lack of integrated multi-
modal access throughout the valley and enhance the active 
transportation network from the City of Palm Springs to the City of 
Coachella. CV Link largely is to be built atop the embankments and 
levees of the region's principal watercourses, including Whitewater 
Floodplain, Tahquitz Creek, Chino Creek, and the Whitewater and 
Coachella Valley Stormwater Channels. Grade-separated crossings 
(bridges or under-crossings) of major roadways are also proposed. In 
areas where these major drainage corridors are inaccessible, on-street 
routes are proposed. Route alignments using the street network are 
considered in challenging areas and will provide options for near and 
long-term implementation.
    The project is intended to enhance connectivity between major 
employment, residential, recreational, and institutional centers 
throughout the valley, while promoting the use of alternative modes of 
transportation. The project will have important impacts on the 
Coachella Valley region, including increased tourism, increased 
business and residential values within \1/2\ mile, gasoline savings, 
construction projects, and reduced medical costs from reduced obesity 
and other health issues.
    The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such 
actions were taken, are described in the Environmental Assessment (EA) 
for the project, approved on December 21, 2017 and the Finding of No 
Significant Impact (FONSI) issued on July 26, 2018 and in other 
documents in the Caltrans' project records. The EA, FONSI and other 
project records are available by contacting Caltrans at the address 
provided above. The Caltrans EA and FONSI can be viewed and downloaded 
from the project website at http://www.cvag.org/.

taken, including but not limited to:
