Environmental Impact Statement: City of Charlottesville and 
Albemarle County, VA

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Cancellation of the Notice of Intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice rescinds the previous Notice of Intent issued on 
October 3, 1984, to prepare an environmental impact statement for a 
proposal to provide a four-lane divided facility from the intersection 
of existing McIntire Road and Preston Avenue to an intersection with 
Rio Road. The proposed highway project involved in part the upgrading 
of an existing two-lane facility to a four-lane divided roadway. The 
remaining part of the proposed highway project called for a four-lane 
facility on new location.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Bruce Turner, Transportation Planner, Federal Highway 
Administration, 1504 Santa Rosa Road, Suite 205, Richmond, Virginia 
23229, Telephone [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When the Notice of Intent was published, 
there was reason to believe that one or more of the alternatives might 
significantly affect the environment. However, after conducting 
exhaustive environmental studies of all the alternatives under 
consideration, documenting this information in a draft Environmental 
Impact Statement, circulating the draft EIS for comment, and holding 
the location public hearing, a reduced alternative without any 
significant environmental impacts was selected to meet the proposed 
project's purpose and need.
    Therefore, in accordance with Federal regulations, the selected 
alternative is considered a Class III Action, and the assessment of the 
environmental impacts will be finalized and documented with an 
Environmental Assessment.
J. Bruce Turner,
Transportation Planner, Richmond, Virginia.
