Based on this PO 00000 Frm 00083 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 legislation, the NOI to prepare an EIS will be withdrawn.

The proposed multi-use trail facility will be constructed using context sensitive design, to provide safe non-motorized transportation and recreational opportunities to the residents and visitors of the District of Columbia.
