DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement: City

of Ogden, Weber County, UT

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 the City of Ogden, Weber County,

Utah.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Thomas Allen, Project Development

Engineer, Federal Highway

Administration, 2520 West 4700 South,

Suite 9A, Salt Lake City, Utah 84118,

Telephone: (801) 963–0182; or Rod

Terry, Preconstruction Engineer, Utah

Department of Transportation, Region 1,

P.O. Box 12580, Ogden, Utah 84412,

Telephone (801) 399–5921 ext. 305.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the Utah

Department of Transportation, will

prepare an environmental impact

statement on a proposal to reconstruct

approximately 2 miles of State Road

(SR) 79 from the existing Interstate 15

interchange to Harrison Boulevard (SR–

203), and to widen approximately 1.5

miles on Wall Avenue (SR–204) from

approximately 22nd Street to 34th Street

in the urban portion of Ogden, Utah.

The proposed reconstruction of SR–79

would provide the necessary east-west

arterial roadway capacity to meet urban

infrastructure needs, and to meet

existing and future transportation

demand. The widening of SR–204

would provide a uniform roadway

width for the north-south arterial

roadway and an appropriate roadway

capacity for the gateway entrance to the

Central Business District of the City of

Ogden.

The reconstruction of SR–79 is

included in the current Long-Range Plan

and the Transportation Improvement

Plan for the Ogden Urbanized Area. The

City of Ogden has stated the need for

infrastructure improvements to facilitate

access to the Central Business District.

The proposed action would eliminate

the current one-way couplet structure of

SR–79 through the City of Ogden and

replace it with a single arterial roadway

of sufficient capacity to accommodate

predicted traffic demand through the

year 2020. The widening of SR–204

would provide continuity with the

existing width on SR–204 both north

and south of the proposed project, and

would improve capacity of key

instructions. It would also provide a

proper shoulder and new curb and

gutter along the roadway improving

safety, maintenance, drainage, and

access control.

Alternatives under consideration

include: (1) Taking no action, (2) using

transportation system management

strategies that would provide for

transportation efficiency within the

existing transportation network, and (3)

constructing a new arterial roadway on

one or the several alignments for SR–79.

Such a new arterial would widen

existing roadways to the maximum

extent possible, but would also require

new right-of-way segments of the

alignments. Design variations of grade
