Finding Erie County [31 Pa.B. 7081] Under the provisions of section 2002(b) of the Administrative Code (71 P. S. § 2002(b)), the Secretary of Transportation makes the following written finding:
The Department of Transportation plans to realign West 38th Street in the City of Erie, Erie County. The realignment will use lands of the City of Erie's Glenwood Park. The effect of this project on the City of Erie's Glenwood Park will include the following measures to minimize harm to the resource.
1. Landscaping will be enhanced along the project corridor.
2. At the City of Erie's request, an underpass structure will be constructed to provide access between City of Erie property on either side of the relocated West 38th Street.
3. The Hungarian Monument, a resource within Glenwood Park, will be dismantled, stored and reassembled at a visible location along the relocated West 38th Street.
4. The existing horseshoe courts, a resource within Glenwood Park, will be replaced at a location designated by the City of Erie and the Erie Horseshoe Club.
The Secretary has considered the environmental, economic, social and other effects of the proposed project as enumerated in section 2002 of The Administrative Code, and has concluded that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the project as designed and all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize such effect.
No adverse environmental effect is likely to result from the realignment of West 38th Street.
