Site Impacts Map
The Berkeley Lab Site Impacts Map provides real-time information on major projects and events that may affect parking, shuttles, traffic and pedestrian flow, or site or building access and offers a visual overview of current and upcoming impacts across the hill site.
Criteria:
If the project/traffic plan meets the thresholds to be added to the Berkeley Site Impacts Map, the project management team submits the approved project plan along with relevant details to the Site Impacts Map working group using the SmartSheet form below.
