Manager or Paul Ziman, Area Manager, Federal Highway Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with UDOT, will 
prepare an EIS on a proposal to address projected transportation demand 
in western Davis and Weber Counties. Although the exact limits of the 
study area have not been defined, the transportation needs that will be 
evaluated in the proposal extend northward from about Parrish Lane (400 
South) in Centerville in Davis County to about 1200 South in Marriott-
Slaterville in Weber County. The eastern limits of the study area 
extend to I-15 and the western limit will be just east of the Great 
Salt Lake.
    To provide for local and regional travel demands, the regional 
transportation plan developed by the local Metropolitan Planning 
Organization, Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC), has identified the 
need for an improved transportation system in the study area. 
Alternatives under consideration include (1) Taking no-action (no-
build); (2) transportation system management/travel demand management; 
and (3) build alternatives. A multi-modal evaluation of transportation 
improvements in the corridor will be the focus of the study. 
Transportation build alternatives to be studied include, but are not 
limited to: (1) Collector roadway; (2) freeway; (3) arterial roadway; 
(4) transit; (5) combinations of any of the above; and (6) other 
feasible alternatives identified during the scoping process.
    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 scoping 
meetings will be held in the study area from 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. as 
follows: February 23, 2010, at Syracuse High School, 665 South 2000 
West, Syracuse, UT; February 24, 2010, at Davis County Legacy Events 
Center (Davis County Fairgrounds) at 151 South 1100 West, Farmington, 
UT; and, February 25, 2010, at West Weber Elementary School, 4178 West 
900 South, Ogden, UT. Public notices announcing these meetings will be 
published in the region. Information regarding this meeting and the 
project may also be obtained through a public Web site, http://www.udot.utah.gov/westdavis. In addition to the public scoping 
meetings, public hearings will be held after the draft EIS has been 
prepared. The draft EIS will be available for public and agency review 
and comment before the public hearing.
    To ensure that a full range of issues related to the proposed 
action are addressed and all significant issues identified, comments 
and suggestions are invited from all interested parties. Comments or 
questions concerning the proposed action and the EIS should be directed 
to the FHWA at the address provided above by March 22, 2010.
