The <br /> Department is available is discuss assumptions, data requirements, study scenarios, <br /> and analysis methodologies prior to beginning the TIS. This will help insure that a <br /> quality TIS is prepared. <br /> Fair Share <br /> * The Department has provided reviews for the following projects near this location- <br /> 'PA-0400074 (SU) Ventana Major Subdivision of 54 lots, and PA-0500329 (SU) <br /> Champion Major Subdivision of 8 lots in this vicinity., These 3 development projects <br /> cumulatively will contribute about 95 new trips to the SR-99/Liberty Road <br /> interchange. <br /> 'C'alfrans improves mabiliry across California <br />
