Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 97 / Monday, May 22, 2017 / Notices
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) on a
proposal to improve access between the
Hunts Point Peninsula and the Sheridan
and Bruckner Expressways (I–895 and
I–278).
The Hunts Point Peninsula is located
in the South Bronx, New York, and is
home to the Hunts Point Food
Distribution Center, the largest food
distribution facility in the nation. The
Hunts Point Peninsula is also home to
many industrial and commercial
properties outside of the food
distribution center. There is also a
residential area in the northeastern
portion of the peninsula. To access the
food distribution center, vehicles must
exit the interstate highway network and
use local streets. The needs for the
project are to improve access to and
from the Hunts Point Peninsula and the
Hunts Point Food Distribution Center/
commercial establishments, to address
the existing non-standard geometric
features of the Bruckner/Sheridan
Interchange to improve operations, and
to address infrastructure deficiencies on
the Bruckner Expressway viaduct and
ramps and truss bridge carrying
westbound Bruckner Expressway and
Bruckner Boulevard over Amtrak.
The purpose of the project is to
provide improved access between the
Hunts Point Peninsula and the Sheridan
and Bruckner Expressways for
automobiles and trucks traveling to and
from the commercial businesses located
on the peninsula. In addition, the
project will address structural and
operational deficiencies related to the
existing infrastructure within the
established project limits.
A reasonable range of alternatives is
currently being developed and will be
refined during the NEPA scoping
process in consideration of agency and
public comments received.
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments will be sent to
Cooperating and Participating Agencies.
Public and agency outreach will include
a formal public scoping meeting, a
public hearing, and meetings with
Cooperating and Participating Agencies.
Public notice will be given of the date,
time, and location of the scoping
meeting and hearing. To assist in
determining the scope of issues to be
addressed and identifying the
significant issues related to the
proposed action, the general public will
have the opportunity to submit written
comments at the scoping meeting and
during a scoping comment period. The
draft EIS will be available for public and
agency review and comment prior to the
public hearing.
Comments or questions concerning
this proposed action should be directed
