The public may review a Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study for a safety project to realign the existing compound curve on northbound Highway 101 with a single radius curve south of the rest areas in Gaviota.

The public may review these documents beginning Wednesday in the following locations:

» Caltrans District 5 Office, 50 Higuera St. in San Luis Obispo weekdays from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.

» Goleta Branch Library, 500 N. Fairview Ave. in Goleta.

» California Department of Parks and Recreation (Channel Coast District), 10 Refugio Road in Goleta.

» Buellton Library, 140 W. Highway 246 in Buellton.

» Website: www.dot.ca.gov/dist05/projects/

The public may submit written comments until June 22 to Matt Fowler, Caltrans, 50 Higuera St., San Luis Obispo, CA 93401, or email comments to matt.c.fowler@dot.ca.gov.

A public meeting on this proposed project will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, June 5 at the Vista de Las Cruces School, 9467 San Julian Road in Gaviota.

This project is being proposed because of a history of run-off-the-road collisions within the project limits.

Caltrans reminds motorists to move over and slow down when driving through highway construction zones.
