Background
The FHWA, in cooperation with the
Iowa Department of Transportation and
Polk County will prepare an EIS for the
proposed Northeast Beltway study. The
proposed project would include
roadway improvements to provide a
high-speed connection from I–80 near
Altoona to U.S. 69 north of Ankeny.
The purpose of the Northeast Polk
County Beltway is to prepare for
increased travel demand in and around
Ankeny and its neighboring
communities. Traffic congestion on I–35
between Des Moines and Ankeny would
be alleviated, and traffic would be
E:\FR\FM\05MYN1.SGM
05MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 87 / Friday, May 5, 2006 / Notices
reduced on the Northeast systems
interchange (35/80/235).
Alternatives under consideration
include: (1) Taking no action; (2)
widening existing roadways; and, (3)
constructing a roadway on a new
location. The build alternative will
include consideration of various
alignments and grades.
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 2006 and 2007.
In addition, a public hearing will be
held upon completion of the draft EIS.
Public notice will be given of the time
and place of the public meetings and
public hearing. The draft EIS will be
available for public and agency review
and comment prior to the public
hearing.
A scoping meeting (the initial public
meeting) will be held identifying
significant issues to be addressed in the
environmental impact statement. The
date and location of the scoping meeting
have not yet been determined but will
be advertised in various local media.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to this proposed action are
addressed and all significant issues are
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 or Iowa
Department of Transportation at the

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,

level that would be achieved absent
such exemption.’’ The procedures for
requesting an exemption (including
renewals) are set out in 49 CFR part 381.
