DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement:

Merced County, California

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Revised 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 expressway

project in Merced County, California. A

notice for this project was originally

issued January 25, 2000. Since that time

a refined traffic analysis resulted in

modifying the project description. This

notice is intended to advertise the

changes in the project.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

C. Glenn Clinton, Team Leader, Program

Delivery Team—North, Federal

Highway Administration, California

Division, 980 9th Street, Suite 400,

Sacramento, CA 95814–2724,

Telephone: (916) 498–5020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the

California Department of Transportation

(Caltrans) and the Merced County

Department of Public Works, will

prepare an Environmental Impact

Statement (EIS) on a proposal to

construct a regional arterial, known as

Campus Parkway, in Merced County.

The proposed project would involve the

construction of a new limited access

expressway, between the State Route

99/Mission Avenue Interchange to the

south and Yosemite Avenue to the

north. The project would be

approximately 7.25 kilometers (4.5

miles) in length. The revised project,

from Route 99 to Yosemite Avenue,

represents the limits necessary to meet

projected demand occurring within the

twenty-year design horizon (year 2025).

North of Yosemite Avenue,

transportation demand is not projected

to reach a level necessitating further

improvements until well beyond 2025.

However, a future connection with

Bellevue Road represents a logical

connection with the existing roadway

network that is a reasonably foreseeable

action that could occur post 2025. To

address cumulative impacts, the EIS

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 81 / Thursday, April 26, 2001 / Notices 21039

will also identify and analyze potential

transportation corridors between

Yosemite Avenue and Bellevue Road.

No construction or right-of-way

acquisition north of Yosemite Avenue is

proposed to be included as part of this

project.

The purpose (focused end result) of

the Campus Parkway project is a

transportation corridor that supplies

sufficient capacity and connectivity to

serve the northern and eastern portions

of the City of Merced through the year

2025. Alternatives under consideration

include: (1) Taking no action; and, (2)

constructing a limited access

expressway with the appropriate

number of lanes to serve the anticipated

demand for the design horizon (2025)

within the right-of-way necessary to

support the number of lanes required for

the ultimate build-out of the Merced

area. Three alternatives alignments have

been identified that will be analyzed in

the EIS.

Other proposed projects and actions

that are likely to have an impact on the

Campus Parkway project will be

evaluated, including the potential

cumulative impacts of the proposed UC

Merced and adjacent University

Community.

Public information meetings and a

public hearing will be held for this

project. A letter advising these meetings

and hearing will be sent to appropriate

Federal, State, and Local agencies as

well as to private organizations and

individuals who have expressed an

interest in this project. The draft EIS

will be available for public and agency

review and comment prior to the public

hearing. No formal scoping meeting is

planned at this time.

To ensure that the full range of issues

relate to this proposed action are

addressed and all significant issues are

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. Comments received

that responded to the January 25, 2000

notice will still be addressed, as well as

any additional responses received as a

result of this notice.

Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement:

Somerset County, Pennsylvania

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 Somerset County, Pennsylvania.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

David W. Cough, P.E., Director of

Operations, Federal Highway

Administration, Pennsylvania Division

Office, 228 Walnut Street, Harrisburg,

PA 17101–1720, (717) 221–3411 or

Manager, Pennsylvania Department of

Transportation, District 9–0, 1620 North

Juniata Street, Hollidaysburg,

Pennsylvania, 16648, (814) 696–7172.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the

Pennsylvania Department of

Transportation (PennDOT), will prepare

an Environmental Impact Statement

(EIS) to identify and evaluate

alternatives for the transportation

improvement of a 15.2 mile section of

U.S. 219 between the northern terminus

of the Meyersdale Bypass (upgraded

U.S. 219) and the existing four-lane

section of U.S. 219 near the Borough of

Somerset, Pennsylvania. A partial

realignment of the last mile of the

existing four-lane section of U.S. 219

near Somerset may also be considered.

Included in the overall project will be

the identification of a range of

alternatives that meet the project need

and supporting environmental

documentation and analysis to

recommend a preferred alternative for

implementation. A complete public

involvement program is part of the

project.

Based on a needs analysis completed

in 1999, improvements to U.S. 219 are

needed between Somerset, Pennsylvania

and I–68 in Maryland based on deficient

levels of service for most roadway

segments; accident rates higher than the

statewide average; geometric features

which do not meet current design

standards; increased travel times and

delays; less efficient system linkage for

motorists traveling between the fourlane section of U.S. 219 or the PA

Turnpike (I–70/76) in Somerset and I–

68 in Maryland; insufficient access to

local communities; and significant

contributing factor in limiting economic

development.

Possible alternatives to the proposed

project include: no build; transportation

system management (TSM); relocation

to the eastern portion of the study area,

west of Berlin; relocation to the west in

the vicinity of the Garrett Shortcut; and

one additional alternative not yet

defined. These alternatives will be the

basis for a recommendation of

alternative to be carried forward for

detailed environmental and engineering

studies in the EIS. Incorporated into and

studied with the various alternatives

will be design variations of grade and

alignment.

Letters describing the proposed action

and soliciting comments will be sent to

appropriate federal, state, and local

agencies, and to private organizations

and citizens who have previously

expressed or are known to have interest

in this proposal. Public meetings will be

held in the area throughout the study

process. Public involvement and agency

coordination will be maintained

throughout the development of the EIS.

To ensure that the full range of issues

related to the proposed action are

addressed and all significant issues are

identified, comments and suggestions

are invited from all interested parties.

Comments or questions concerning this

proposed action and the EIS should be

directed to PennDOT at the address

provided above.
