notice to advise the public that an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
will be prepared for the proposed
Millennium Parkway project in
Chautauqua County, New York, Project
Identification Number (PIN) 5757.55.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the New
York State Department of
Transportation (NYSDOT) and the
Chautauqua County Department of
Public Facilities (CCDPF), will prepare
an EIS on a proposal to construct the
Millennium Parkway in Chautauqua
County, New York.
An industrial corridor, including
industrial districts located along Werle
Road, Harrington Road, Progress Drive,
and County Route (CR) 82 (Middle
Road), is being developed to provide
further economic opportunities within
the surrounding communities. This
industrial corridor includes the
Chadwick Bay Industrial Park, located
to the east of the City of Dunkirk in the
Town of Sheridan. Although directly
adjacent to air and rail facilities, tractortrailer truck traffic access to the
industrial corridor is currently not
adequate.
The purpose of the Millennium
Parkway Project is to improve tractortrailer truck traffic access to the
industrial corridor, including the
Chadwick Bay Industrial Park, from
New York (NY) Route 60 (Bennett
Road). Objectives to be met with the
construction of the Millennium Parkway
are to: Improve tractor-trailer truckoriented infrastructure to the industrial
corridor; improve vehicular and

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 247 / Thursday, December 27, 2007 / Notices
pedestrian safety along the existing
truck route; and reduce travel time from
NY Route 60 to the industrial corridor.
The reasonable range of alternatives
will include a No-Build Alternative and
three Build Alternatives, which are
briefly described below. Additional
input from Participating and
Cooperating Agencies, and from the
public, will be necessary before a final
decision will be made regarding the full
range of alternatives to be studied.
• The No-Build Alternative would
utilize the existing truck route in its
current condition. This alternative
would maintain the existing truck route
along NY Route 60 to NY Route 5
(Lakeshore Drive) to CR 82 in its present
state with only routine maintenance to
keep the existing truck route open to
traffic.
• The Build Alternatives are:
Improving the existing truck route;
improving other existing routes; or
constructing a new urban collector on
new alignment by utilizing existing and/
or new roads. Incorporated into and
studied with the various build
alternatives will be design variations of
grade and alignment.
The purpose of the Millennium
Parkway Project is to improve tractortrailer truck traffic access to the
industrial corridor, including the
Chadwick Bay Industrial Park, from NY
Route 60. In order to meet this purpose,
the project limits have been sufficiently
delineated to include the industrial
corridor. The western boundary of the
Project Limits has been established as
the existing truck route along NY Route
60, since the tractor-trailer truck traffic
currently passing through the City of
Dunkirk utilizes this route. The
northern boundary of the project limits
has been established as the remaining
portion of the existing truck route along
NY Route 5 and CR 82 as well as the
CSX Transportation (CSXT) Railroad, to
avoid any additional railroad crossings.
The eastern boundary of the project
limits has been established as
Harrington Road, CR 82, and Cook Road
to avoid conflicts with the Dunkirk
Airport. Finally, the southern boundary
of the project limits has been
established as Interstate 90 (I–90) to
avoid conflicts with this route (I–90).
The limits considered to define the
bounds of the affected environment for
the environmental assessment of the
Build Alternatives, which vary slightly
from the Project Limits, are generally as
follows: northwest along NY Route 60
from the intersection with I–90,
Interchange 59; east then north along
the City of Dunkirk city limit line;
northeast along the CSXT Railroad;
south along the existing alignments of
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:00 Dec 26, 2007
Jkt 214001
Harrington Road, CR 82, and Cook Road;
then southwest along the existing
alignment of I–90.
The anticipated length of the
proposed roadway will be determined
based on the preferred alternative. The
highway’s southern terminus would be
located at NY Route 60, north of I–90,
Interchange 59, and its northern
terminus would be located in the
vicinity of the industrial corridor.
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. As part of the formal
scoping process for this project, a series
of public meetings will be held in the
towns of Dunkirk and Sheridan this fall.
Public notice will be given regarding the
time and place of the meetings. The
draft EIS will be available for public and
agency reviews and comment prior to a
public hearing. The draft EIS is
expected to be completed in the spring
of 2009.
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, NYSDOT, or
CCDPF at the addresses provided
earlier.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the Oregon
Department of Transportation (ODOT),
will prepare an EIS for the proposed
modifications to U.S. 97 in Deschutes
County, Oregon. The proposed
improvements may involve the
reconstruction or realignment of the
existing U.S. 97 roadway between the
Bend Parkway/Empire Avenue and
Deschutes Market Road-Tumalo
Junction interchanges.
Improvements to the corridor are
considered necessary to meet the
mobility standards and facility
management goals consistent with U.S.
97’s designation as a statewide
expressway, address current and future
transportation demand, and improve
safety along the corridor including the
intersections of U.S. 97 with Cooley and
Robal Roads. Current traffic volumes
exceed roadway capacity. Traffic is
expected to increase 20 to 40% by 2032.
The intersections of U.S. 97 with Cooley
and Robal Roads are in the top 5 percent
of crash locations on state highways
within Oregon.
The northern portion of the project is
located in a predominately rural area.
Lands on the eastern side of the
highway are being considered for
inclusion into the City of Bend’s Urban
Growth Boundary. The middle portion
of the project begins the transition from
rural to urban uses, with the number of
accesses increasing. Access to rural
residential uses are located on the west
side of the highway and access to two
mobile home parks are located on the
eastern side of the highway. The
