ISSUE
The Project Study Report-Project Development Support (PSR-PDS) is the Project Initiation Document (PID) selected for the I-710/SR-91 Interchange. The PSR-PDS will provide an opportunity for Metro, Caltrans, and the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG) to attain consensus on the purpose and need, scope, and schedule of the project. The PSR-PDS will also be used to program the support cost necessary to complete the studies and work needed during the Project Approval/Environmental Document (PA/ED) which is the next phase in the project development process.
