    Chapter 4 Comments and Coordination Early and continuing coordination with the general public and public agencies is an essential part of the environmental process. It helps planners determine the necessary scope of environmental documentation and the level of analysis required and to identify potential impacts, as well as avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures and related environmental requirements. Agency and tribal consultation and public participation for the Westbound State Route 91 (SR-91) Improvement Project (project) have been accomplished through a variety of formal and informal methods, including interagency coordination meetings, public meetings, public notices, and Project Development Team (PDT) meetings. This chapter summarizes the results of the California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) efforts to fully identify, address, and resolve project-related issues through early and continuing coordination. 4.1 Notice of Initiation of Studies The environmental scoping process to involve the public on the project Draft Initial Study/Environmental Assessment (IS/EA) was initiated with two public information meetings held by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) in October 2016. These public information meetings were held at two different locations: the North Artesia Community Center in the City of Artesia on October 18, 2016, at 6:30 p.m.; and Cerritos High School in the City of Cerritos on October 19, 2016, at 6:30 p.m. The Notice of Initiation of Studies and the dates and locations of the open houses were advertised in three local newspapers. Additionally, Metro compiled a project- specific mailing list of stakeholders that includes over 2,300 property owners within the study area.
