  • Public Involvement Plan
    Bruckner-Hutch Mobility Improvement Project I-95 and NY 908A PIN X731.27 Bronx County, New York DRAFT APPENDIX X5: PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PLAN Prepared for: New York State Department of Transportation Prepared by: November 2020 Bruckner-Hutch Mobility Improvement Project June 2020 Public Involvement Plan PIN X731.27 Introduction The I-95 and NY 908A Mobility Improvement Project is classified as a NEPA Class III Environmental Assessment (EA) and SEQRA Non-Type II EA. The Public Involvement Plan for this project has been developed using Appendix 2 (Public Involvement Manual) of the New York State Department of Transportation’s (NYSDOT) Project Development Manual (PDM). PDM Chapter 4.3.2 – Moderate Project Steps has been followed for the public involvement regulatory requirements. Project Overview The Bruckner Expressway, I-95, and the Hutchinson River Parkway connection is a crucial intersection located in the East Bronx. Thousands of vehicles use this crossroad every day to access commercial and residential facilities in the New York City – Connecticut area. This section of highway regularly experiences major vehicular congestion due to the complex layout of the highway interchanges and exits (along I-95 and the Hutchinson River Parkway), compounded by the high volume of commercial trucks on I-95. NYSDOT plans to alleviate congestion by eliminating existing ramps and adding one longer ramp that will connect motorists to I-95 Northbound. Additional work will occur on Bartow Avenue at the Hutchinson River Parkway. The proposed design will improve the traffic conditions in interchanges and interstate highways, which will result in a quality of life improvement in the local communities.
