Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 246 / Friday, December 23, 2005 / Notices
SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this
notice to advise the public that an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
will be prepared for a proposed roadway
corridor project in Milwaukee, Racine
and Kenosha Counties, Wisconsin
extending into Lake County, Illinois by
the Wisconsin Department of
Transportation (WisDOT) in
Conformance with 40 CFR part 1500
and the FHWA regulations.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
David Scott, FHWA, 567 D’Onofrio
Drive, Suite 100, Madison, WI 53719–
2844; Telephone: (608) 829–7522.
The
Federal Highway Administration
(FHWH), in cooperation with the
Wisconsin Department of
Transportation (WisDOT), will prepare
an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) on a proposal to improve the I–94
corridor in Milwaukee, Racine and
Kenosha Counties, WI, and Lake
County, IL; approximately 34 miles in
length. This freeway corridor has
emerging pavement needs, safety issues
and design deficiencies. The proposed
project may require full reconstruction
and redesign of I–94 as well as potential
new interchanges within the project
limits of Howard Avenue on the north,
35th street on the west (I–894) and
south to the I–94/USH 41 interchange in
Lake County, IL. The study will also
include the Mitchell Airport Spur/STH
119 from I–94 to STH 38 (Howell
Avenue) on the east. The Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) will evaluate the
I–94 freeway mainline for the entire
corridor as well as the Mitchell
Interchange (I–94 and I–894) and service
interchanges in Milwaukee County.
Those interchanges include Howard
Avenue, 27th Street (interchange with I–
894), Layton Avenue/CTH Y, Mitchell
Airport Spur/STH 119, College Avenue/
CTH ZZ, Rawson Avenue/CTH BB, and
Ryan Road/STH 100 Interchanges.
The service interchanges with I–94 in
Racine and Kenosha Counties were
previously evaluated in a 1996
Environmental Assessment (EA); FHWA
approve the EA with a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) on
December 18, 1996. Those interchanges
are: STH 165, CTH C, STH 50, STH 158,
STH 142, and CTH E in Kenosha
County; CTH KR at the Kenosha-Racine
County line; and STH 11, STH 20, CTH
K, CTH G, 7 Mile Road, and 27th Street/
STH 241 in Racine County. The 1996
EA/FONSI will be reevaluated, in a
separate document from the EIS, to
reflect any changes that have occurred
at those interchanges since it was
written.

Jkt 208001
The proposed I–94 North-South
Corridor project is intended to make
necessary safety improvements and to
accommodate projected future traffic
volumes. Alternatives to be considered
include: (1) No build; (2) limited safety
improvements; (3) full design and safety
improvements; and (4) full design,
safety improvements and capacity
expansion.
Public involvement will be solicited
throughout this process including
involvement from minority and lowincome populations in the corridor to
ensure that the construction of the
corridor does not create
disproportionately high and adverse
environmental and health impacts to
these communities. Several public
workshops are scheduled in January
2006, and the first of a series of public
information meetings in May 2006.
WisDOT and FHWA will coordinate
with appropriate state and federal
contacts during the study. Public notice
will be given as to the time and place
of all workshops and public information
meetings. In addition, a public hearing
will be held after the draft EIS has been
prepared. 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 and questions concerning the
proposed action and the EIS should be
directed to the FHWA at the address
provided above.
