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 transportation improvement which address identified
transportation problems within South Central Centre County,
Pennsylvania. The study includes U.S. Route 322, PA 144, PA 45, PA 192
and various local roadways. The initial stage of the project is for
scoping, documentation of project need and development of conceptual
alignment corridors. A range of conceptual alignment corridors will be
developed within the context of the identified project needs,
environmental constraints and public input. Possible alternatives
include upgrade of existing facilities, no-build, construction on new
alignment, Transportation System Management strategies, or a
combination of alternatives. A complete public involvement program is
part of the project.
Letters describing the proposed actions 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 FHWA or PennDOT at the addresses provided above.
