This notice also announces actions taken by the FHWA that are final agency actions within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). These final agency actions relate to a proposed highway project, West 11th Street to Garfield Street, Florence-Eugene Highway in Lane County, Oregon where the revised ROD amends FHWA's April 16, 1990 ROD that had selected Alternative 1 Modified, and selects the no-build alternative. The Final Environmental Impact Statement was approved and published by FHWA in January 1990 and a ROD was issued on April 16, 1990. This revised ROD amends FHWA's April 16, 1990 ROD that had selected Alternative 1 Modified, and selects the no-build alternative. In large part, FHWA selects the no-build alternative in the revised ROD based on: public and resource agency input, including the Oregon DOT; a Lane Council of Governments resolution; and, a conflict assessment report prepared by FHWA and the City of Eugene. While the no-build does not satisfy an existing transportation need in the area, selecting the no- build alternative is in the best overall public interest at this time.
