SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by FHWA and other Federal
agencies that are final. This final agency action relates to a proposed
development of 7.5-mile multi-use bicycle and pedestrian trail along
the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (RTC)-owned
railroad corridor and parking lot improvements at two locations along
Highway 1, in unincorporated Santa Cruz County, California. The FHWA's
Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) provides details on the
Selected Alternative for the proposed improvements.
DATES: By this notice, FHWA 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 highway project will be barred
unless the claim is filed on or before April 14, 2022. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken a
final agency action by issuing FONSI for the following highway project

Cruz County.
The project includes the development of a 7.5-mile multi-use trail
proposed to extend along the coastal side of the RTC-owned railroad
corridor from the Town of Davenport to Wilder Ranch State Park in Santa
Cruz County. The project would include a paved path with striping and
parallel unpaved path and shoulder. The Project would also include
trail connections from Davenport Beach, Bonny Doon Beach, and Panther/
Yellowbank Beach parking lots as well as improvements to Davenport
Beach and Panther/Yelllowbank Beach parking lots along the alignment.
Fencing would also be installed between the trail and agricultural
fields at some locations where natural or geographic barriers do not
exist to inhibit trespassing.
The FHWA's action, related actions by other Federal agencies, and
the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the
Environmental Assessment (EA) approved on October 23, 2020, and the
FONSI approved on October 8, 2021, and other documents in the project
