DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Termination of Draft Environmental

Impact Statement; Milwaukee and

Waukesha Counties, Wisconsin

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 123 / Monday, June 26, 2000 / Notices 39465

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise that FHWA is

terminating the Environmental Policy

Act (EIS) process at the conclusion of

the Draft Environmental Impact

Statement/Major Investment Study

(DEIS/MIS) phase of the project

development. The FHWA and the

WisDOT have jointly decided to not

continue with completion of the EIS

process for the IH 94 East-West Corridor

Study. Work completed to date on the

DEIS/MIS will serve as a starting point

for developing environmental analysis

and documentation for potential

individual projects expected to follow.

The DEIS/MIS was completed and made

available to the public on November 8,

1996.

Division Administrator; Telephone:

Division Office, 567 D’Onofrio Drive,

Background

The FHWA, in cooperation with the

Wisconsin Department of

Transportation (WisDOT) is closing the

Major Investment Study (MIS) for the I–

94 East-West Corridor study in

Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties,

Wisconsin. The Draft Environmental

Impact Statement (DEIS)/MIS was made

available to the public on November 8,

1996. The DEIS/MIS evaluated five

transportation components: (1) Redesign

of the Marquette Interchange (I–94/I–43/

I–794); (2) re-design of the East-West

Freeway (I–94) between downtown

Milwaukee and Waukesha; (3) special

purpose lanes for carpools and buses in

the East-West Freeway Corridor; (4)

light rail transit in Milwaukee County;

and (5) expanded bus transit service

throughout the metro Milwaukee area.

A Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA)

which included all five of the abovementioned transportation components

was accepted by the relevant county

boards in 1997. However, none of the

elements of the LPA have advanced into

preliminary engineering. Developing the

LPA completed the MIS process.

Therefore, FHWA is concluding the

Major Investment Study process for the

I–94 East-West Corridor in Milwaukee

and Waukesha Counties.

Because the corridor-wide MIS is in

place, and recognizing that the

components of the LPA are unlikely to

proceed on the same schedule, the I–94

East-West Corridor DEIS will not be

followed by a corridor-wide Final EIS or

Record of Decision. The previous work

completed on the DEIS will now serve

to provide a solid foundation of

information on which to begin

environmental analysis of individual

components. Then, if found to satisfy

State and Federal requirements, the

individual component could be

advanced through the final design and

construction phases. Advancing an

individual component requires its own

sponsoring agency. This advancement of

a component would not preclude or

assure that another component would

move forward.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement:

Ouachita Parish, Louisiana

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise the public that an

Environmental Impact Statement will be

prepared for a proposed highway project

in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

William C. Farr, Program Operations

Manager, Federal Highway

Administration, 5304 Flanders Drive,

Suite A, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70808,

Telephone: (225) 757–7615, Facsimile:

(225) 757–7601.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the

Louisiana Department of Transportation

and Development (LDOTD), will

prepare an Environmental Impact

Statement (EIS) on a proposal to

construct a new highway facility on an

alignment to be determined. The

proposed project, known locally as the

Kansas Lane Connector, is generally

located in the northeast quadrant of

Monroe, Louisiana. The roadway

includes several alternates based on the

number of bridges needed for various

alignments. The approximate length of

the project is 4.3 kilometers (2.7 miles).

Final length will depend on the

alternative selected.

The proposed improvements would

improve the connectivity, travel time,

and safety of the area and increase

regional access to the area, including the

University of Louisiana at Monroe for

persons, businesses and industry in the

region.

The western terminus of the proposed

project will be in the vicinity of the

junction of U.S. Highway 165 and

Forsythe Avenue and the eastern

terminus will be in the vicinity of the

junction of U.S. Highway 80 and Kansas

Lane.

Alternatives to be considered are:

(1) The ‘‘Do-nothing’’ Alternative,

where the current and existing

highways will be repaired and

maintained in their present location,

capacity, and character.

(2) The ‘‘Build’’ Alternative,

considering several different

alignments, roadway type and control of

access.

An agency scoping meeting will be

held at a time and place to be

determined at a later date. Letters

describing the proposed action and

soliciting comments will be sent to

appropriate Federal, state, and local

agencies and to private organizations,

including conservation groups and

groups of individuals who have

expressed interest in the project in the

past. At least one public informational

meeting will be held in the project area

that will be affected. In addition, a

Public Hearing will be held. Public

notice will be given of the time and

place of the public informational

meeting(s) and the Public Hearing. The

draft EIS will be available for public and

agency review and comment prior to the

Public Hearing.

To ensure that the full range of issues

related to this proposed action are

addressed, and all significant issues

identified, comments and suggestions

are invited from all interested parties.

Comments or questions concerning this

proposed action and the EIS should be

directed to the FHWA at the address

provided above.
