statement will be prepared for a
proposed transportation systems
improvement project in Seattle, King

Manager, Federal Highway

Steve.Boch@fhwa.dot.gov. The FHWA
Washington Division’s Oversight
Manager’s regular office hours are
between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. (Pacific
Time).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FHWA,
Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT), the City of
Seattle (City), and the King County
Department of Transportation (KCDOT)
will prepare an environmental impact
statement to document the
environmental consequences for
proposed replacement of the Alaskan
Way Viaduct and Alaskan Way Seawall
located in downtown Seattle, King
County, Washington. The intent of the
project is to improve public safety by
replacing the existing Alaskan Way
Viaduct and Seawall with efficient
transportation systems and facilities
with improved earthquake resistance
that provide for the efficient movement
of people and goods in and through
downtown Seattle.
The Alaskan Way Viaduct and
Alaskan Way Seawall are both at the
end of their useful life. Improvements or
alternatives to both are required to
protect public safety. Because these
facilities are at risk of sudden and
catastrophic failure in an earthquake,
the replacement systems and facilities
should be implemented as quickly as
possible. Mobility and accessibility to
and through downtown Seattle are vital
to maintaining local, regional, and statewide economic health. FHWA, WSDOT,
the City, and KCDOT have identified the
following underlying needs the project
should address: improve public safety;
provide efficient movement of people
and goods; maintain or improve
downtown Seattle, regional, the port
and state economies; enhance Seattle’s
waterfront, downtown and adjacent
neighborhoods as a place for people;
and improve the health of the
environment.
The project is evaluating all
transportation modes and systems
between the south Seattle city limits
and N. 85th Street and Elliott Bay and
Lake Washington. The nature and extent
of transportation system improvements,
and hence project termini, have not
been determined at this time. The
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Alaskan Way Viaduct portion of SR 99
being focused on for replacement is
approximately 2 miles long and is
located between Royal Brougham Way
and the Battery Street Tunnel. The
project also includes the Alaskan Way
Seawall, which supports the viaduct
and surface streets, that extends from
South Washington Street to Broad Street
on Elliott Bay. Alternatives for
environmental analysis have not been
identified yet.
Letters soliciting comments on the
purpose and need, potential
alternatives, and scope of the EIS are
being sent to the appropriate federal,
state, and local agencies, and tribes. The
project will also provide an opportunity
for involvement to organizations,
businesses, and citizens who have
previously expressed or are known to
have interest in this proposal. Agency
and public scoping meetings will be
held in September 2008 in Seattle,
Washington. When determined, meeting
details—including date, time, and
location—will be posted on the project

Comments and questions concerning
this action and the EIS should be
directed to FHWA at the address
