The supervisors’ 3-0 vote June 13, with Karen Spiegel and Manuel Perez absent, authorizes the advertisement for bid of a contract to resurface approximately 1.7 miles of the road. The supervisors’ action also approved the plans and specifications for the resurfacing of Johnston Avenue from San Jacinto Street to 630 feet east of Stanford Street, set a July 5 bid opening date, and found the resurfacing to be categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review.
Johnston Avenue is a two-lane road whose width ranges from 24 to 32 feet. It is classified as a local road in the Circulation Element of the county’s general plan.
