The Federal Highway Administration and the Department of Transportation are planning the roadway and intersection realignment and the construction of turn lanes at certain locations on SR 56 in East Saint Clair Township, Bedford County.
The subject project is considered a Level 2 Categorical Exclusion in accordance with 23 CFR Part 771.117(d), Item 1 as published in the August 28, 1987, Federal Register.
The project will require the acquisition of 0.87 acre from the Chestnut Ridge Middle School, a Section 2002/Section 4(f) resource. Acquisition of land from the Chestnut Ridge Middle School property will constitute a use of the Section 2002/Section 4(f) 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 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 the effects.
