Finding Blair County [39 Pa.B. 7163]
[Saturday, December 19, 2009]Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 575(b)), the Director of the Bureau of Design makes the following written finding:
The Department of Transportation is planning to replace the Bedford Street Bridge, which crosses a tributary to the Beaverdam Branch of the Juniata River in Hollidaysburg Borough, Blair County.
Information describing the project, with the associated environmental analysis, is contained in the Environmental Document—Bridge Preservation Programmatic Agreement/Section 2002 Evaluation that was prepared for this project. The project will require the acquisition of right-of-way from the National Register eligible Gaysport Historic District, which qualifies as a section 2002 resource.
Based upon studies, there is no prudent and feasible alternative to the proposed action.
The environmental, economic, social and other effects of the proposed project as enumerated in section 2002 of The Administrative Code of 1929 have been considered. It has been concluded that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the project as designed, and all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize such effects.
