SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GSA intends to prepare an EA to analyze the potential impacts resulting from proposed structural enhancements associated with the Edward J.

SUMMARY: daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES Background The Project is located at 880 Front Street in San Diego, California at the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building and United States Courthouse. The Project is proposed in order to improve structural safety for the public traveling underneath the building and for the tenants occupying the building above the Front Street underpass. The existing building has five stories of federal office building space spanning above the roadway and two levels of parking structure beneath the roadway. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:47 Sep 14, 2018 Jkt 244001 46949 Alternatives Under Consideration The EA will consider one Action Alternative and one No Action Alternative. The Action Alternative would consist of structural enhancement improvements to the portion of the existing Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building over Front Street between E and F streets. Existing columns and beams supporting the building at the Front Street underpass would be reinforced with new steel beams and column support structures and pre-cast concrete paneling. Construction would require full and partial closure of Front Street between Broadway and F Street. Street closure options during construction of the Action Alternative are being considered, and a comprehensive Traffic Control Plan will be prepared to address the street closure. The No Action Alternative assumes that structural enhancements to the existing building would not occur.
