Environmental Impact Statement: Weber County, UT

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice of intent to advise the public 
that an environmental impact statement will be prepared for a proposed 
highway project in Weber County, Utah.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Sandra Garcia, Federal Highway 
Administration, 2520 W. 4700 S. Suite 9A, Salt Lake City, Utah 84118-
1847, Telephone: (801) 963-0182; E-mail: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Utah 
Department of Transportation (UDOT), will prepare an environmental 
impact statement (EIS) on a proposal to improve Riverdale Road, Utah 
State Route 26 (SR-26) from I-15 to Washington Boulevard, in Ogden, 
Utah. The proposed improvement will involve the reconstruction of the 
existing SR-26 through the cities of Roy, Riverdale, South Ogden and 
Ogden for a distance of about 5.3 kilometers (3.3 miles).
    Improvements to the corridor are considered necessary to provide 
for the existing and projected traffic demands. Also, included in this 
proposal is the replacement of the existing Riverdale Road Interchange 
bridges over I-84 and I-15. Alternatives under consideration include 
(1) taking no action, (2) using alternate travel modes, (3) traffic 
signal and lane striping modifications, and (4) widening the existing 4 
lane roadway to 6 lanes.
    Letters describing the proposed action 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. A series of public meetings 
will be held in the proximity of the project starting April 2002. In 
addition, a public hearing will be held. Public notice will be given of 
the time and place of the meeting and hearing. The draft EIS will be 
available for public and agency review and comment prior to the public 
hearing.
    To ensure that the full range of issues related to this proposed 
action are addressed and all significant issues identified, comments 
and suggestions are invited from all interested parties. Comments or 
questions concerning this proposed action and the EIS should be 
directed to the FHWA at the address provided above.
