Caltrans in partnership with the City of Vacaville is proposing to provide interchange and local roadway improvements along Interstate 505 at the Vaca Valley Parkway on and off ramps. The Project would replace three intersections with roundabouts and introduce new bicycle and pedestrian connections across the corridor to help improve traffic, pedestrian and bicycle operations.

If the Federal law that authorizes judicial review of a claim provides a time period of less than 150 days for filing such claim, then that shorter time period still applies.
