The Commission approved the following actions:
- Focus the Mid County Parkway (MCP) limits to Interstate 215 and State Route 79 in response to comments received on the draft environmental impact report/environmental impact statement (EIR/EIS);
- Maintain a long term plan for a future east-west CETAP Corridor between I-215 and I-15;
- Prioritize up to $7 million in Regional Arterial, TUMF or federal funds to the County of Riverside for the preparation of the environmental document for the Cajalco Road widening;
- Consider re-initiation of the CETAP corridor analysis between the I-215 and I-15, if the County's Cajalco Road project is not environmentally cleared by 2013;
- Prepare a phasing plan for the MCP (east of Interstate 215) and support the County's efforts to prepare a phasing for Cajalco Road (between Interstates I-15 and I-215) that ensures equality in the funding and capacity improvements on each project; and
- Reconsider funding priorities for east-west regional arterials as part of the Commission's Measure A Regional Arterial Program, once the economy improves.
