Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1 969 and regulations of the Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ) through 1978, applicable federal actions must consider potential environmental impacts. The analysis is used to determine whether a proposed project will have significant adverse effects which cannot be avoided or mitigated. For this project, significant impacts were determined through a combination of technical analysis and coordination with interested parties and the local community. An Environmental Assessment is prepared when the significance of project-related impacts is not known during project scoping activities. If significant and unavoidable adverse impacts upon the environment are identified, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared. If it is determined that the Proposed Action's impacts are not significant, a formal Rnding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) is prepared by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Other technical reports associated with this project include the Technical Basis Report; the Design Location Report; Hydrologic and Hydraulic Report; Historical Architectural Engineering Record; and the Determination of Effect Report. The County of Allegheny has undertaken this study to evaluate feasible alternatives for the replacement of the Coraopoiis Bridge. This Environmental Assessment (EA) documents the social, economic, cultural, natural, and physical environmental impacts associated with various alternatives for the replacement of the Coraopoiis Bridge. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Coast Guard are cooperating agencies.

The bridge currently connects SR 51 (Fourth Avenue) and Ferree Street in Coraopoiis with Grand Avenue on Neville Island (Rgure 1-3). The project would replace the existing structure and roadway approaches with facilities designed to current standards for an urban arterial highway. Various bridge replacement alignments were studied. Of these, two were selected for detailed study. Both of the Alternatives would include three 12-foot travel lanes and two, three-foot watertables (shoulders). Two lanes would serve southbound traffic and one lane would serve northbound traffic. A six-foot sidewalk would be provided and separated from the shoulder by a concrete barrier. For both alternatives, the existing bridge superstructure would be dismantled and removed and the abutments and piers removed. Detailed descriptions of the proposed alternatives are contained in Chapter 3. 1.2 Description of Existing Bridge -» The current Coraopoiis Bridge is located in Allegheny County, 10 miles northwest of downtown Pittsburgh. The Bridge is approximately 1,160 feet in length and consists of 2 through truss spans at 444 feet each and two pony truss spans at 137 feet each (See Appendix D). It carries two 12 foot lanes with 4.5-feet wide water tables and a 5 foot sidewalk on the eastern (upstream) side. The sidewalk is separated from the travel lanes by a concrete barrier (Photos 1-3). Connecting sidewalks are located at each end of the bridge. The north bridge approach from Grand Avenue contains a 30 degree curve to the south. Situated at the western end of Neville Island, there is little development within the immediate vicinity of the bridge. Within Coraopoiis

They were part of a series of banlieue rebellions throughout France during these decades. As a result, to some French the banlieues became associated exclusively with “minority,” otherness, lawlessness, and hopelessness.

  • Allegheny's Riverfronts
    ALLEGHENY’S RIVERFRONTS A Progress Report on Municipal Riverfront Development in Allegheny County DECEMBER 2010 Allegheny County Allegheny’s Riverfronts Dear Friends: In Allegheny County, we are known for our rivers. In fact, our rivers have repeatedly been in the national spotlight – during the Forrest L. Wood Cup and Pittsburgh G-20 Summit in 2009, and during World Environment Day in 2010. We are fortunate to have more than 185 miles of riverfront property along the Allegheny, Monongahela, Ohio and Youghiogheny Rivers. Our riverfronts provide opportunities for recreation, conservation and economic development. Providing access to our waterways has always been a key priority and we have been very successful in connecting communities through our trail and greenway system. Through partnerships with businesses, foundations and trail groups, we are on target to complete the Great Allegheny Passage along the Monongahela River before the end of 2011. This trail has been improving the economy and quality of life in towns throughout the Laurel Highlands and Southwestern Pennsylvania, and now its benefits will spread north through the Mon Valley and into the City of Pittsburgh. Our riverfronts provide opportunities for greening our region through the use of new trees, rain gardens and riverside vegetation that aid in flood control, improved water quality and a more natural experience. Allegheny County riverfronts have also always been great places to live. More people will be able to experience riverfront living with the development of communities such as Edgewater at Oakmont, which promises to be one of the best new neighborhoods in the region. I am so proud of all that we have accomplished along our riverfronts and excited about all that is yet to come.
