SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the

Washington State Department of

Transportation and King County

Department of Transportation, will

prepare an environmental impact

statement (EIS) on a proposal to

improve a portion of Northwest Novelty

Hill Road in King County, Washington.

The proposed improvement to the

Northeast Novelty Hill Road would

involve improvements to the road, and

would include stormwater detention

facilities, safety improvements and

pedestrian, equestrian and bicycle

facilities. The project is located between

Avondale Road Northeast and the

Redmond Ridge (formerly Northridge

and Blakely Ridge) urban planned

developments, including intersection

improvements at 243rd Avenue

Northeast, an approximately three mile

long corridor.

Improvements to the road are

considered necessary to reduce

anticipated traffic congestion and

improve safety by increasing vehicle

capacity and providing improved

pedestrian and bicycle facilities.

Alternatives under consideration

include (1) taking no action; (2)

constructing a three-lane road; (3)

constructing a five-lane road.

Incorporated into and studied with the

various build 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. A series of public

meetings will be held in King County

between January 2001 and February

2002. In addition, a public hearing will

be held. Public notice of actions related

to the proposal which identify the date,

time and place of the meetings and

hearings, and note the length of review

periods will be published when

appropriate. The draft EIS will be

available for public and agency review

and comment prior to the public

hearing. A formal scoping meeting is

planned for Tuesday, January 23, 2001

and will be announced in the local news

media and through a public mailing.

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.
