FROM: Daryl R. Grigsby, Director of Public Works
Prepared By: Michael J. McGuire, Senior Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: MARSH STREET BRIDGE REPLACEMENT
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution certifying the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Marsh Street Bridge
Replacement Project.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Marsh Street Bridge, constructed in 1909, is a critical transportation component of this
major arterial roadway for the City’s downtown. In 2008, required maintenance inspection
conducted by the California Department of Transportation determined an accelerating decline in
the overall efficiency of the bridge.
In June 2011, the City contracted with Dokken Engineering, one of the City’s pre-qualified on-
call engineering consultants, to begin a structural assessment of the bridge, leading to the
preparation of an Alternatives Study Report of the Marsh Street Bridge to discuss rehabilitation
alternatives and compare those alternatives to complete replacement.
On September 24, 2012, the three bridge alternatives were presented to the Cultural Heritage
Committee (CHC) who unanimously approved replacement of the bridge (attachment A), subject
to the condition that the replacement bridge retain the historical features and context of the
existing bridge to the greatest extent feasible.
On January 22, 2013, the City Council conceptually approved the removal and replacement of
the Marsh Street Bridge, and to proceed with design of a new fully-replaced bridge (attachment
B). Since then, Dokken Engineering has proceeded with preparation of design documents along
with the environmental review phase of the bridge replacement, including procurement of the
required permitting from state and federal regulatory agencies.
Draft Environmental Impact Report
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City prepared a
Notice of Preparation for the project’s Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which was submitted
to the California State Clearinghouse on March 10, 2015 for distribution to other regulat ory
agencies that might like to comment on the project. This Notice provided a project overview, the
purpose and need of the project, a project description, and a summary of known environmental
issues which would require impact analysis in the EIR. The required 30-day comment period ran
between March 10, 2015 to April 8, 2015, with no comments received from other agencies.
Packet Pg 17

The draft EIR for the project was prepared and circulated for review and comment by the public,
agencies and organizations. As required by CEQA, a public review period of 45 days was
initiated, beginning on February 12, 2016 and ending on March 28, 2016. A Notice of
Completion for the draft EIR was sent to the State Clearinghouse and the draft EIR was
circulated to State agencies for review through the State Clearinghouse, Office of Planning and
Research. A Notice of Availability of the draft EIR was mailed to organizations and parties
expressing interest in the project, as well as property owners located within 500 feet of the
project area. The Notice of Availability was also published in The Tribune newspaper.
On March 2, 2016, staff conducted a publicized meeting at the San Luis Obispo City/County
Library for the public to gain information on the Marsh Street Bridge Replacement project and, if
desired, to give comment on the project. Two written comments were received from members of
the public, both comments were in regards to non -environmental impact issues. Those comments
and responses to the comments are contained in the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR).
Also, a story regarding the project was featured in the March 10, 2016 edition of the SLO City
News. A verbal comment presented to staff at the meeting was a concern for the impact of the
new bridge on flood control for downtown. Staff’s response is that the flood control necessary is
outside of the scope of this bridge project and that with the installation of the new bridge nearly
matching the dimensions of the existing bridge, there would be no change to the channel flow
characteristics.
Final Environmental Impact Report
The City Council is being asked to adopt a resolution (attachment C) certifying the Marsh Street
Bridge Replacement Project FEIR (Council Reading File) which describes the project, project
impacts, Statement of Overriding Considerations, and mitigation measures necessary to reduce
the potentially significant environmental impacts to less than significant or acceptable levels.
The Marsh Street Bridge Replacement Project FEIR follows the CEQA requirements to identify
the significant environmental impacts of a project and to avoid or mitigate the impacts, if
feasible. Overall, the Bridge Project will not have significant environmental impacts. However,
the demolition of the historic existing bridge has no feasible mitigation measures available to
reduce impacts to below a level of significance (Council Reading File). A Statement of
Overriding Considerations and other Mitigation measures and monitoring program have been
developed. The Statement of Overriding Considerations acknowledges that impacts to Cultural
Resources cannot be mitigated to less than significant levels. The reason why the impact to
Cultural resources cannot be mitigated to less than significant is that the historic bridge needs to
be removed to build the new bridge. Realistically, there is no way to replace the bridge with
another historic structure. Therefore, the mitigation measures are included in order to celebrate,
document and retain the original bridge’s history, however, these mitigations measures do not
reduce the impact to less than significant – hence the need for a Statement of Overriding
Considerations.
Next Steps
Following the City Council’s certification of the FEIR, temporary property acquisition will begin
Packet Pg 18
6
to obtain the portions of private property surrounding the bridge and creek for the purposes of
construction space and to maintain vehicular and pedestrian access to those businesses adjacent
to the bridge. At the same time, permits will be obtained from the California Department of
Fish and Wildlife, Regional Water Quality Control Board, Army Corp of Engineers and other
jurisdictional agencies. Also, the construction documents for the bridge replacement will be fully
completed for approval by Caltrans.
Once these tasks have been completed, staff will return to the City Council for approval to
advertise for the construction of the project, followed by approval to award the project
construction. Construction is tentatively scheduled to start in April, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action at this time. Certification of
the EIR obligates the City to follow the appropriate requirements of the Mitigation, Monitoring
and Reporting Plan (MMRP) to ensure compliance with the adopted mitigation measures during
project construction. Costs associated with the MMRP will be incorporated into updated project
costs and be included in the bid proposal for construction.
The cost of construction for the replacement of the Marsh Street Bridge is estimated to be
$7,625,000, of which approximately 90% will be funded by the Federal Highway Bridge
Program. The remaining 10% will be City matching funding which will be a combination of
General Funding and Local Revenue Measure G.
ALTERNATIVES
Deny certification of the project EIR. Council could choose not to certify the Marsh Street
Bridge Replacement Project EIR. While CEQA specialists prepared the document and it meets
all CEQA requirements, should Council choose this alternative, staff requests specific direction
as to what changes the Council requires in order for the EIR to be acceptable for certification.
The Marsh Street Bridge Replacement project right-of-way acquisition phase and ultimately,
project construction, cannot move forward without a certified EIR. Construction of the project,
scheduled to begin in April 2018, would be delayed until the following year.

DISCUSSION
Background
The Marsh Street Bridge, near the intersection of Marsh and Santa Rosa Streets, was built in
1909 and over the years has received occasional minor repair work by City maintenance staff.
More intense maintenance was scheduled as part of the 2007-09 Financial Plan to replace heavily
damaged bridge rails, and to patch and seal the deck. As a condition to use federal bridge
funding for the work, a structural review was completed. The review indicated the bridge
deterioration was too significant to be ameliorated only by maintenance and that more intensive
rehabilitation work and possibly replacement of key structural components would be required. A
maintenance inspection conducted by the State of California Department of Transportation in
2008 supported this finding with the overall bridge efficiency rating dropping nearly 30 points
since 2004, to a rating of 64 out of 100, indicating an accelerating decline.
In June 2011, the City contracted with Dokken Engineering, one of the City’s pre-qualified on-
call civil engineering consultants, to begin a structural assessment of the bridge, leading to the
preparation of an Alternatives Study Report of the Marsh Street Bridge to discuss rehabilitation
alternatives and compare those alternatives to complete replacement.
Historical Significance
With the potential for significant reworking, or possible replacement of the bridge, research was
completed regarding its historical significance. There is no historical register designation for the
Marsh Street Bridge by the City or County, but Caltrans recognizes that the bridge is significant
in the area of engineering. The Marsh Street Bridge was designed by John B. Leonard, one of the
Jan. 22, 2013
B1-1Packet Pg 22

Marsh Street Bridge Alternatives Study Report (90480) Page 2
foremost reinforced concrete bridge designers in early twentieth century California. Over his
career, Leonard designed about 45 bridges throughout California and Nevada. While a number of
Leonard’s bridges remain in Northern and Central California, the Marsh Street Bridge is one of
two examples in San Luis Obispo. It is also the oldest concrete girder bridge in Southern
California and among the oldest remaining structures designed by Leonard.
Although the bridge is historical from an engineering standpoint, the architectural features of the
bridge have been greatly compromised. As indicated in the report by Dokken Engineering, the
concrete itself is deteriorating to a level that threatens the structural integrity of the entire bridge.
The concrete bridge railing has been damaged or portions of it completely removed due to
damage. The original light standards were removed at an unknown date and never replaced.
The railings are the most visible portion of the structure and cannot be salvaged. The reinforcing
steel has degraded to the point where rusting has ruptured through the concrete. A portion of the
rail was also hit and had to be removed. The bridge project will replicate the styling of the
existing railing, provide an upgrade relative to vehicle crash safety features, and will restore
lighting on the deck as originally envisioned by the designer.
The environmental review phase of the bridge replacement and procurement of the required
permitting from state and federal regulatory agencies will include review of the new bridge
design by the Community Development Department and will be subject to architectural review.
Recommended Alternative
In the Alternatives Study Report, Dokken Engineering evaluated three alternatives for addressing
the condition of the Marsh Street Bridge. Alternative 1 evaluates rehabilitating the existing
bridge structure, Alternative 2 evaluates removing and replacing the bridge deck and the top
portion of the existing abutments and Alternative 3 evaluates complete removal of the existing
bridge and construction of a new cast-in-place or precast concrete slab bridge supported on new
foundations.
Based on the findings in the study, Alternative 3 is recommended to provide the City a long term
solution for its investment and minimize future disruption to this busy corridor.
The estimated cost of Alternative 3 is $4,400,000; $3,895,320 in grant funds and $504,680 in
City matching funds. This alternative will remove the existing bridge deck and abutments and
replace it with a 15-foot longer bridge deck supported on tall abutments that will be supported on
spread footings or piles. Placement of the abutments further apart will increase the hydraulic
capacity of San Luis Obispo Creek and better protect the channel from scour during flood events.
The new bridge will increase the vehicle load capacity to current design standards, and allow
utilities to be protected within the bridge deck shielding them from storm damage. A new
structure will provide an expected bridge life of 100 years and will be virtually maintenance-free
for many years. The architectural features of the bridge visible on Marsh Street will be replicated
as close as possible to the original design while conforming to current codes. While this is the
most expensive alternative, the increased channel protection, traffic safety improvements, utility
protection, and reduction in maintenance costs are significant benefits to the City. Therefore, the
consultant and staff recommend Alternative 3.

Marsh Street Bridge Alternatives Study Report (90480) Page 3
Other Alternatives
Alternative 1: Rehabilitate the existing bridge structure.
While Alternative 1 has the lowest construction cost ($966,000), shortest construction time and
lowest impacts to traffic during construction, the concrete structure will continue to deteriorate
and require patching maintenance for the remainder of the bridge’s existence. The deficient load
capacity of the bridge will not be improved by rehabilitation. Reinforcement of the existing
abutments may reduce the hydraulic capacity of the San Luis Obispo Creek channel under the
bridge. Reduction of hydraulic capacity increases liability for the City because of possible
aggravation of flooding. Also, this rehabilitation can only be expected to extend the bridge life
for another 20 years, at which time additional rehabilitation or complete replacement would be
required, disrupting the community again. The bridge railing will have to be completely
replaced.
Due to these deficiencies, Dokken Engineering considers rehabilitation of the bridge an
unsuitable solution and does not recommend this Alternative.
Alternative 2: Remove and replace the bridge deck and the top portion of the existing abutments.
This alternative would replace the entire bridge deck with a new deck and concrete railings.
Temporary shoring would need to be installed within the creek to prevent the abutments from
toppling over, as the existing bridge has no deep foundations. A new bridge deck will increase
the vehicular load capacity to current design standards. It is estimated this alternative will cost
$2,800,000; $2,478,840 in grant funds and $321,160 in City matching funds. It is estimated to
take 4-1/2 months to construct. A new bridge deck will minimize maintenance for at least 30
years and increase the bridge life-expectancy from 20 years to 75 years. The new deck
configuration would accommodate utility conduits and cables within the deck for protection and
security.
Complex construction methods to accommodate the existing bridge abutments will cause
construction and maintenance issues. New foundations added to the front of the abutments in
support of the new bridge deck above will reduce the hydraulic capacity of the creek. While the
new bridge deck would be virtually maintenance-free, regular maintenance would continue to be
required for the existing abutments.
Cost and Duration Summary
Alternative Estimated Cost Duration Life Expectancy
Alternative 1 $966,000 3.5 Months 20 Years
Alternative 2 $2,800,000 4.5 Months 75 Years
Alternative 3* $4,400,000 6.5 Months 100 Years
* Recommended
The Consultant provided a duration estimate of 6.5 months for Alternative 3 for the basic
construction work. Past City experience indicates projects take from 1 to 2 years to complete in
their entirety. This is a function of their size, staging and mitigation requirements, and includes
finishing work such as re-vegetation.

CONCURRENCES
The replacement of this structure has the concurrence of the City’s Cultural Heritage Committee
(Attachment 1) and the California Department of Transportation (Attachment 2).
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2009-11 Financial Plan, Appendix B, pages 3-249 to 3-252, and the 2011-13 Financial Plan,
Appendix B, page 3-153, identified $6,700,000 for design and construction of the Marsh Street
Bridge Repair project. On May 3, 2011, Council approved the reallocation of approved grant
funds for the Chorro Street Bridge project to augment necessary environmental review work
required for the Marsh Street Bridge project. This action brought the total approved budget-to-
date to $550,000 for environmental review, land acquisition and design work (for a total project
budget of $6,950,000).
The majority of funding will come from the Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) with a
City-matching fund contribution of 11.47% of the project costs.

Project Costs
The City’s Financial Plan identifies higher costs than currently estimated in the bridge study
report. The Financial Plan estimates are based on previous bridge construction costs for the City
and consideration of unforeseen conditions that may occur once construction starts. Given the
very preliminary nature of the study, prior local cost experience, the historical value of the bridge
and the need for construction contingencies to address unforeseen conditions, staff does not
propose any revisions to the cost projections at this time.

Of the $250,000 allocated for design work, $57,900 was encumbered to Dokken Engineering for
the pre-design work of bridge assessment and the alternatives study. There remains $192,100
available in the design phase which includes preparation of plans, specifications, and
construction estimate, $250,000 for environmental services and $50,000 for property acquisition

activities. Additional funds in the amount of $167,900 are required as indicated in the Project
Costs table above to fully fund the project phase fees by Dokken Engineering and to provide a
minimum 10% contingency amount for unforeseen design conditions that may arise.
Staff recommends approval to use and transfer $19,258 from the CIP Completed Projects
account to the project account in the amounts of $2,053 to the design phase, $2,868 to the
environmental review phase and $14,337 to the property acquisition phase, and approve the
appropriation of $148,642 from the Highway Bridge Program (HBP) Grant funding to the project
account in the amounts of $15,847 to the design phase, $22,132 to the environmental review
phase and $110,663 to the property acquisition phase. There is approximately $20,000 available
in the CIP Completed Projects account to support this recommendation.
Once additional funding required to complete design, environmental, and property acquisition
work is approved, staff recommends amending the current contract with Dokken Engineering by
$594,452.28 to include the design, environmental and property acquisition services for the
“Marsh Street Bridge Repair, Specification No. 90480” (Attachment 3).
On-Call Civil Engineering Services
Approximately every two years , the City conducts a competitive process and issues a Request
For Proposals (RFP) for certain on-call services. The City receives proposals and selects
consultants or contractors, based on specific criteria, to perform specific services. Dokken
Engineering is one of the City’s on-call civil engineering design consultants and is therefore
eligible to be awarded this work.
Dokken has submitted a proposal for this work (Attachment 3). Staff recommends amending the
current contract with Dokken Engineering, in the amount of $594,452.28 to include design,
environmental services and property acquisition services for the Marsh Street Bridge Repair
project.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Select Design Alternative 1. The City Council could choose to select Alternative 1. This
alternative would provide a “band-aid” fix to the bridge and is not recommended by staff
or the design consultant. While it would address repairs to the surface of the bridge, the
bridge would continue to deteriorate from within and would require constant maintenance
to extend the life of the bridge another 20 years.
2. Select Design Alternative 2. The City Council could choose to select Alternative 2.
While this alternative would improve the vehicle load capacity to current design
standards and increase the life expectancy of the bridge to 75 years, it does not fully
address the lack of a sufficient foundation system for the bridge. Adding additional
footings for reinforcement will narrow the creek channel, thus reducing the hydraulic
capacity under the bridge. Regular maintenance would still be required for the bridge
abutments and shallow footings. For these reasons staff does not recommend this
alternative.
3. Deny or defer the project. The City Council could choose to defer bridge repairs or
replacement at this time. Under this alternative, bridge deterioration would continue.
Eventually, the bridge would become a safety hazard and unusable for both vehicular and
B1-5Packet Pg 26

pedestrian traffic. This alternative is not recommended as this bridge is integral to a
significant arterial of the City’s street system through the Downtown.

Jeff Schneideright, applicant’s architect, stated the structure was designed and scaled
to relate to the San Luis Obispo Mission on Chorro Street.
Blake Urban, San Luis Obispo, was concerned with the mass of the building and that it
will not have a favorable impact to his property.
Phil Dunsmore, Senior Planner, clarified that the setback of the easement does not set
at Mr. Urban’s actual property line.
Trey Duffy, San Luis Obispo, is opposed to the project.
Jaime Hill (speaking as a citizen and not as a committee member), San Luis Obispo,
stated the structure is too large for the area and for the type of architecture proposed.
Devin Gallagher, applicant, urged the committee to understand that the original vision of
the structure was intended to feel like a chapel on the corner in context with the
downtown and the relationship to the mission
Astrid Gallagher, San Luis Obispo, concurred with the applicant. She pointed out
several details of the project’s architecture.
There were no further comments made from the public.
COMMITTEE COMMENTS:
Committee Member Brajkovich supported the Mission design. He commented that
possibly lowering the parking structure will lessen the mass of the overall height.
Chairperson Costello disagreed with Committee Member Brajkovich’s statement and
was concerned with the style of the proposed structure.
Committee Member Dandekar is concerned with the size of the podium and believed it
was too dominant. She commented that the mission is too far from the site to be
connected in any way.
There was a general discussion between the Committee Members regarding the design
how to lessen the feel of how large the structure is by softening the podium or the
parking structure and scaling down the size of the proposed structure.
There were no further comments made from the Committee.
On motion by Committee Member Pavlik, seconded by Committee Member Dandekar,
alternative #1 continued item to a date with additional discussion or research in regard
to 3.2.1 guidelines with emphasis on softening approach of podium.

(Phil Dunsmore)
Phil Dunsmore, Senior Planner, along with Mike McGuire, City Civil Engineer, presented
the staff report, recommending the CHC give concurrence to the complete replacement
of the Marsh Street Bridge based on findings and subject to conditions which he
outlined. Staff proposed three alternatives to address the bridge safety issues:
Repair the existing bridge
Replace the bridge superstructure
Replace the entire bridge structure, which staff supports this approach out of all 3
alternatives because it provides the greatest longevity and cost savings while still
respecting the historic design of the bridge structure
Mr. Dunsmore pointed out that alternatives 2 & 3 will require the City to prepare an
environmental impact study and determination.
Committee Member Brajkovich questioned if funding is available for each of the three
alternatives. Mr. McGuire stated there is funding for all three alternatives because of
federal funding assistance. Mr. Brajkovich voiced support of the entire bridge
replacement because funds were available to replace the entire structure.
There was a general discussion between Committee Members regarding the design
aspects of the bridge to keep in line with the Historical context of the original design
and/or keep the scale intact.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Charles Sinoli, San Luis Obispo, was concerned with lengthening the span of the bridge

Subject: Type Selection
The City of San Luis Obispo has requested that Caltrans Structure Local Assistance review the
following scoping documents for the above-mentioned bridge. The following documents were
submitted:
• Alternative Study Report by Dokken Engineering, dated September 17, 2012.
The following are comments from the review:
1. Structure Local Assistance (SLA) concurs with the scope of this project and the preferred
alternative. Although it is possible to rehabilitate this bridge, it is not prudent. The bridge
was built in 1909 and is structurally deficient with the major items being deficient barrier
rails, deck deterioration, spalling and cracks in the girders and exposed reinforcement, and
a substandard load rating.
2. This bridge is eligible for inclusion in the Caltrans statewide historic bridge inventory
update. The bridge replacement will require valid justification, but there does not appear
to be significant historic value or aesthetic characteristics. Proposed aesthetic features
include ornamental lighting and open concrete architecturally aesthetic barrier rails and
they will meet current ADA requirements.
3. The preferred alternative is a single-span prestressed cast-in-place or precast concrete slab
bridge with seat abutments founded on pile foundations. It will be 60’ long by 69’ wide
Please contact Robert Zezoff at (916) 227-9881 for any questions.

RESOLUTION NO. (2017 SERIES)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, CERTIFYING THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT (EIR) FOR THE MARSH STREET BRIDGE
REPLACEMENT PROJECT
WHEREAS, the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a publicized meeting at the
City/County Library Community Meeting Room, 995 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California,
on March 2, 2016, for the purpose of presenting the Marsh Street Bridge Replacement Project
Draft EIR; and
WHEREAS, said public hearing was for the purpose of providing public testimony and
providing feedback to staff on the Marsh Street Bridge Replacement Project Draft EIR; and
WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City
Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on May 2, 2017, for the purpose of considering
the Final EIR for the Marsh Street Bridge Replacement Project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has duly considered all evidence, including the testimony
of interested parties presented at said hearing, and the evaluation and recommendation by staff;
and
WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing were made at the time and in a manner required
by law.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo
as follows:
SECTION 1. Finding. Based upon all the evidence, including, without limitation, staff
reports, memoranda, technical studies, maps, letters and minutes of all relevant meetings, the City
Council hereby makes the following findings in addition to the CEQA findings set forth in Exhibit
A attached hereto and incorporated herein as though set forth in full;
1. The Draft EIR for the Marsh Street Bridge Replacement Project was released on February
12, 2016 with a 45-day comment period that closed on March 28, 2016. The Final EIR was
issued on March 30, 2017. For each identified potentially significant effect under the
categories of Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Hazards and
Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, and Recreation, mitigation measures
and/or the implementation of standard project best management practices (BMPs) were
included and incorporated into the Marsh Street Bridge Replacement Project to reduce the
identified potentially significant impacts to less than significant levels. Only one significant
unavoidable impact was identified as a result of the proposed project implementation. The
demolition of the historic existing bridge has no feasible mitigation measure to reduce
impacts below a level of significance. The Final EIR includes measures to reduce the
Cultural Impacts but they cannot be reduced to a less than significant level.

Resolution No. _____ (2017 Series) Page 2
R ______
2. The Final EIR was presented to the City Council, and the Council has reviewed and
considered the information contained in the Final EIR prior to approving the Marsh Street
Bridge Replacement Project.
3. The City Council acknowledges that it is required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15021 to adopt all feasible mitigation measures or feasible project alternatives that can
substantially lessen or avoid any significant environmental effects keeping in mind the
obligation to balance a variety of public objectives. The City Council further acknowledges
that CEQA Guidelines Section 15043 affirms the Council’s authority to approve a project
even though it may cause significant effects on the environment so long as the Council
makes a fully informed and publicly disclosed decision that there is no feasible way to
lessen or avoid the significant effects (CEQA Guidelines Section 15091) and that there are
specifically identified expected benefits from the project that outweigh the policy of
reducing or avoiding significant environmental impacts of the project (CEQA Guidelines
Section 15093). To this end, the City Council has identified the following overriding
economic, social, and other public benefits of the project, which are additional reasons that
the significant and unavoidable impacts identified in the Final EIR can be found acceptable;
these are:
a. The project will improve the Marsh Street Bridge, providing a safer and long lasting
transportation facility over the San Luis Obispo Creek in downtown San Luis
Obispo. This new structure will be consistent with Caltrans standards, as well as
local, regional, and statewide plans, for bridge infrastructure improvement. The new
facility will ensure that vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle movements can continue
along Marsh Street, a major one‐way arterial through downtown San Luis Obispo.
b. Without this project, the Marsh Street Bridge would eventually have to be closed
due to a public safety concern caused by bridge instability. Closure of Marsh Street
at the San Luis Obispo Creek would result in a long term significant traffic impact
as Marsh Street is a major one‐way arterial through the downtown area. The cost to
mitigate these traffic impacts through other projects and a complete restructuring of
the downtown transportation network would greatly outweigh the cost to replace the
bridge.
c. Maintaining this important arterial road will allow for the continued economic
viability of a portion of the downtown area without a major restructuring of the
City’s transportation system. Furthermore, a potential closure of Marsh Street at the
project area would have significant detrimental impacts to most of the businesses
along Marsh Street that rely on this major access and drive by traffic for continued
viability.
4. The data to support these overriding considerations are found in the following sections of
the record including:
a. The Final Environmental Impact Report;
b. Letters submitted by the public contained in the project files;
c. Public testimony provided at this and previous project hearings.

5. The Mitigation Monitoring Program has been reviewed by the City Council in conjunction
with their review of the Final EIR.
6. The City Council finds that the information and analysis in the Final EIR prepared for the
Marsh Street Bridge Replacement Project reflects the independent judgment of the City
Council as to the environmental consequences of the proposed project, and certifies the
Final EIR as adequate, complete and in compliance with CEQA statues and guidelines, and
the City’s local guidelines.
SECTION 2. Action. The City Council hereby adopts the CEQA findings set forth herein,
approves and adopts Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program included in the attached
Exhibit A, and hereby certifies the Final EIR for the Marsh Street Bridge Replacement Project.
The Public Works Director is hereby directed to file a notice of determination consistent herewith.
Upon motion of _______________________, seconded by _______________________,
