ACTION: Notice to rescind a Notice of
Intent to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement.
AGENCY:
The FHWA, on behalf of the
California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans), announces this notice to
advise the public of the rescinding of
the Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for
improvements that were proposed for
the Bayview Transportation
Improvements Project. The NOI was
published in the Federal Register on
June 2, 2004. This rescission is based on
major changes in the scope of the
project.

southeast sector of San Francisco,
California to facilitate truck traffic from
U.S. Highway 101 to planned industrial
development in the former Hunters
Point Shipyard. The NOI is being
rescinded because the land use plans for
the former Hunters Point Shipyard have
evolved to a broader mix of residential,
commercial, research and development,
and industrial activities and there is a
need to connect Hunters Point with
Candlestick Point, and other parts of the
Bayview District and beyond. The
rescoped project will: Emphasize
transit, bikes, pedestrians, and autos
rather than trucks; conform to the City’s
‘‘transit first policy’’ as a means to
reduce vehicular traffic on streets as
well as on U.S. 101 and its interchanges;
connect neighborhoods within the
Bayview District through a new bus
rapid transit (BRT) route (the ‘‘spine’’ of
the proposed project); provide transfer
points between the BRT line and other
transit routes; construct a new transit
center; facilitate bicycle and pedestrian
movement on streets that are in need of
improvement; and create a more
sustainable and viable community.
Given the changes in scope of the
proposed action, Caltrans intends to
prepare an Environmental Assessment
to determine if the project has the
potential to significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
