FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ISSUED BY THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION
On September 29, 2010 the Federal Highway Administration issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Route 250 Bypass Interchange at McIntire Road Project, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act.
The FONSI identifies Alternative G1 as the Selected Alternative which would construct a traditional diamond interchange with signalized ramps at the existing intersection of the Route 250 Bypass and McIntire Road. Alternative G1 consists of a grade separated interchange with McIntire Road traveling under the Route 250 Bypass with a straight girder bridge and signalized ramp configuration. This alternative meets the project needs while minimizing impacts to the surrounding properties. It also consists of context sensitive landscaping and aesthetic treatment throughout.
Also as part of the project, bicycle/pedestrian paths connecting the Schenk’s Branch Greenway and surrounding communities into McIntire Park will be constructed.
Concurrently, FHWA has also approved the Final Section 4(f) Evaluation, per Section 4(f) of the US Department of Transportation Act
Hard copies of the FONSI and Final Section 4(f) Evaluation may be viewed until November 8, 2010 at the following locations:
- City Hall, Department of Neighborhood Development Services (610 East Market Street, Charlottesville)
- Jefferson-Madison Regional Library (201 East Market Street, Charlottesville)
- Virginia Department of Transportation - Charlottesville Residency (701 VDOT Way, Charlottesville)
