Environmental and ROW Program Specialist Senior Project Manager Federal Highway Administration Michigan Dept. of Transportation 315 West Allegan, Room 201 P.O. Box 30050 Lansing, Michigan 48933 Lansing, MI 48909 (517) 702-1847 (313) 967-5420 Comments on this EA should be received within 45 days of the date of publication and should be sent to: Monica Monsma, Public Involvement and Hearings Officer, Michigan Department of Transportation, P.O. Box 30050, Lansing, MI 48909, Phone: 517-335-4381, E-mail: [email protected] Preface The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 requires that the social, economic, cultural, and natural environmental impacts of any proposed action by the federal government be analyzed for decision-making and public information purposes. There are three classes of action. Class I Actions, which are those that may significantly affect the environment, require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Class II Actions, Categorical Exclusions, are those that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the environment and do not require the preparation of an EIS or an Environmental Assessment (EA). Class III Actions are those for which the significance of impacts is not clearly established. Class III Actions require the preparation of an EA to determine the significance of impacts and the appropriate environmental document to be prepared – either an EIS or a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). This document is an EA for the proposed changes to Interstate Highway 375 (I-375) from I-75 south of Mack Avenue to the Detroit Riverfront, Michigan. It describes the Practical Alternatives, identifies a Preferred Alternative, and analyzes potential impacts and the measures taken to minimize harm to the Project area. It will be distributed to the public and to various federal, state, and local agencies for review and comment. A formal public hearing on this study will then be held. If review and comment by the public and interested agencies support the determination of “no significant impact,” this EA will be forwarded to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) with a recommendation that a FONSI be issued. If it is determined that the Preferred Alternative will have significant impacts that cannot be mitigated, the preparation of an EIS will be required. This document was prepared by HNTB for the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), in cooperation with the FHWA and other members of the I-375 study team. The study team includes representatives from the following areas of expertise within MDOT: Design, Planning, Real Estate, Environment, Traffic and Safety, Bridges, and Construction. Other federal and state agencies, local units of government, public interest groups, and individuals also provided information for this EA.

  • What 2020 Looked Like at Crossroads
    2020 Annual Report for Crossroads of Michigan Vol. 43, No. 1 – Summer 2021 crossroadsofmichigan.org Please visit us on Facebook for up-to-date news Our Crossroads Locations A Letter from the Executive Director Crossroads Dear Friend, Main Office, Soup Kitchen and Happy summer! I hope this season of renewal and redemption finds you and yours well and Employment Office looking forward to happy times. The light at the end of the COVID tunnel is glimmering and I know 2424 W. Grand Boulevard you are as ready as I am to get back to our previous lives. Last year at this time, the thought that more Detroit, MI 48208 than a year later we would still be wearing masks, social distancing, and debating further lock downs 313-831-2787 seemed impossible. But, here we are. Thank goodness for the vaccines and the promise they hold. Hopefully, a year from now, we will talk about these times as history and lessons learned. On behalf of Crossroads East @ Salem Crossroads, I can safely say that we have learned many lessons during the past twelve plus months, not 21230 Moross Road, the least of which is that when life hands us lemons, we shouldn’t only make lemonade, but we need to Detroit, MI 48236 share it with everyone we know, in any way we can. The pandemic forced Crossroads to make many changes to our routine. Now, as I look back, I see that this challenge has helped us to grow and prove 313-822-4441 that no matter what difficulties come our way, this agency, our mission, our staff, and our supporters will stand strong.

  • Jpmorgan Chase Detroit Report
    Invested in DETROIT’S Future TWO YEARS IN … 2016 INVESTED IN DETROIT WHY DETROIT MATTERS WHAT MOTOR CITY’S TURNAROUND CAN TEACH US ABOUT CREATING OPPORTUNITY It’s a sad truth: It often takes a disaster before people will do what’s needed to solve a problem. For Detroit, it was a slow-motion tragedy that engulfed the city BY JAMIE DIMON for decades. Today, however, the city is in the midst of a remarkable turnaround. Chairman and CEO of How Detroit is turning the tide offers powerful lessons for all of us because, JPMorgan Chase & Co. while its challenges may be stark, they aren’t unique. In countless communities, May 2016 the industries that in the past provided a reliable path to the middle class have been displaced. The result: Those with less education and fewer skills have been left behind. This broken compact robs individual lives of their potential, undermines growth, drains public resources and frays community fabric. Finding ways to create more widely shared economic opportunity – in Detroit and in cities everywhere – should matter deeply to all of us. In retrospect, Detroit’s 2013 bankruptcy In 2014, JPMorgan Chase announced a provided the jolt the city needed. Today, less $100 million investment in Detroit to help Photo from left to right: Jamie Dimon, than 18 months after the city exited bankruptcy, accelerate the city’s recovery. We did this because Liberty Bank’s Drextel Amy and Detroit thousands of new streetlights are lighting the conditions were right.
