Why is this not a City project?

Highways are under the State’s jurisdiction, therefore Caltrans maintains all of California highways, on- and off-ramps, and lands and streets underneath the raised highway. This means that even though this project includes San Rafael, TAM is working with Caltrans as the lead agency for the project scope, schedule, and management of the contractor. While TAM is giving the City updates on the project, the City is not managing the project.
