The projects and actions that are the
subject of this notice are:
1. Project name and location:
Jacksonville Rapid Transit System Phase
One—Downtown Transit
Enhancements, Jacksonville, FL. Project
sponsor: Jacksonville Transit Authority.
Project description: The project will
construct a Bus Rapid Transit system in
Jacksonville, Florida. This project is a
part of an overall strategy to bring highcapacity public transit to downtown
Jacksonville. The 5.6 mile system will
include: Restructured bus routes, 2.84
miles of dedicated bus lanes, 15 stationstop enhancements, a traffic signal
priority system, and a real-time traveler
information network. Final agency
actions: Section 106 finding of no
adverse effect; project-level air quality
conformity determination; no use of
Section 4(f) properties; and a Finding of
No Significant Impact (FONSI) signed
February 11, 2010. Supporting
documentation: Supplemental
Environmental Assessment dated
November 2009 and Environmental
Assessment dated September 2008.
2. Project name and location: Keizer
Transit Center Project, Salem, OR.
Project sponsor: Salem-Keizer Transit.
Project description: The project will

construct a transit hub for the mediumsized community of Salem, Oregon,
located 40 miles south of Portland. The
proposed Keizer Transit Center will
accommodate transfers between bus
routes, have a 70-space park-and-ride
lot, a passenger plaza, a kiss-and-ride
lot, a transit information kiosk, and
bicycle storage units. Final agency
actions: Section 106 finding of no
adverse effect; project-level air quality
conformity determination; no use of
Section 4(f) properties; and a Finding of
No Significant Impact (FONSI) signed
February 4, 2010. Supporting
documentation: Environmental
Assessment dated December 2009.
3. Project name and location:
Installation of Elevators at Park Street
Station, Boston, MA. Project sponsor:
Massachusetts Bay Transportation
Authority. Project description: The
project will modernize elevators at the
Park Street Station of the Massachusetts
Bay Transportation Authority. Park
Street is an intersection point for both
the Green and Red subway lines. The
station has a unique historic heritage,
originally built in 1897, as one of
America’s first street-level subway
systems. The current travel path
between the Green and Red Lines
requires three elevator transfers and an
approximate 0.10 mile walk. This path
is unduly long and can pose a challenge
for persons with limited mobility or low
physical stamina. The purpose of the
project is to provide a shorter elevatoraccessible path between the Green Line
westbound platform and Red Line
center platform. Final agency actions:
Section 106 finding of no adverse effect;
project-level air quality conformity
determination; Section 4(f) de minimis
impact determination; and a Finding of
No Significant Impact (FONSI) signed
December 29, 2009. Supporting
documentation: Environmental
Assessment dated August 2009.
4. Project name and location:
Expansion of the 14th Street Bus
Facility, Erie, PA. Project sponsor: Erie
Metropolitan Transit Authority. Project
description: The project involves the
expansion of a bus maintenance and
storage facility in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Located on the western coast of
Pennsylvania, the city of Erie is 120
miles north of Pittsburg. The proposed
9-acre site will house bus maintenance,
storage, fueling, and washing facilities.
Site plans also include provisions for
additional parking and administrative
office space. In total, the project will
centralize operations from nine underutilized buildings into the new facility.
Final agency actions: Section 106
finding of no adverse effect; projectlevel air quality conformity

properties; and a Finding of No

February 17, 2010. Supporting
documentation: Environmental
Assessment dated December 2009.
5. Project name and location: Three
Infill Stations for the Central Corridor
Light Rail Transit Project, St. Paul, MN.
Project sponsor: Metropolitan Council.
Project description: The project will
construct three infill stations on the
Central Corridor Light Rail Transit
Project that will connect downtown
Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.
Previously, in August 2009, a Record of
Decision was issued by FTA for
constructing the original 10.9 mile light
rail project that included only the
below-grade infrastructure for the infill
stations but did not include the abovegrade stations. After the ROD was
issued, however, a decision was made to
construct the three above-ground infill
stations in the Midway East section of
the rail corridor. The Midway East
section contains both residential and
commercial properties. Final agency
actions: Section 106 finding of no
adverse effect; project-level air quality
conformity determination; no use of
Section 4(f) properties; and a Finding of
No Significant Impact (FONSI) signed
February 26, 2010. Supporting
