  • South County Connector Draft Environmental Impact Statement
    Draft Environmental Impact Statement Volume I Summary Chapters 1-6 St. Louis County, Missouri April 2013 FHWA-MO-EIS-13-01-D South County Connector Draft Environmental Impact Statement Summary St. Louis County, Missouri (County), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), has completed this Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposed transportation improvement project, referred to as the South County Connector. The project location map is depicted in Figure 1. This EIS describes existing problems in the project area, discusses development of alternatives, examines potential impacts of the alternatives considered, and identifies potential mitigation measures for unavoidable impacts. A preferred alternative is the alternative that best meets the project purpose and need, balances the benefits and impacts of the project, and is responsive to public and agency comments. Therefore, the final selection of an alternative will not be made until after considering comments from other federal, state and local agencies and the public as a part of the Draft EIS reviews and public hearing process. The preferred alternative will be presented in the Final EIS. PROJECT HISTORY A plan for an improved connection from south St. Louis County to central St. Louis County has existed since the late 1950s. The original concept was for a freeway “inner belt expressway” to provide better north-south access through the St. Louis suburbs. This freeway concept resulted in Interstate 170, north of Interstate 64/U.S. Route 40. Originally, Interstate 170 was proposed to continue south into the southern part of St. Louis County to provide improved access between Interstates 44, 55, and 64.

  • The Cap at Union Station, Ohio (The Rialto Bridge) - B
    The Cap at Union Station, Ohio (The Rialto Bridge) - B 1 VALUE CAPTURE SUMMARY This case focused on air rights, a form of joint development. 2 BACKGROUND TO THE PROJECT The Cap at Union Station in Columbus, Ohio demonstrates how governments can partner with the private sector to create and share value in highway-related investments. The origin of the Project began in 1995 when the City of Columbus (the City) was looking for a way to reconnect sections of downtown which had been bisected by the construction of interstate 670 (I-670), an inner-belt highway, some twenty years earlier. The construction of the expressway in the late 1970s became a barrier to the development of the area north of I-670, the Short North arts and entertainment district, and community groups opposed the proposed further widening of the expressway claiming it would further damage the urban landscape. For example, with a large convention center located downtown near the Interstate, “restaurateurs south of Interstate 670 said they enjoyed a steady stream of convention traffic, while those north of the highway largely reported no related business.”1 The location of the Project is shown in Figure 1 below. Before the construction of The Cap at Union Station Project, “what separated the haves from the have-nots was a 200-foot-long, chain- link-fence-bordered walkway spanning a busy highway below. It was a pedestrian no-man's land.” 1 https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/stories/2004/08/30/story1.html The Cap at Union Station, Ohio, EDC-5 Value Capture Case Study October 2018 Figure 1: Location of the Project Short North arts and entertainment district I-670 I-670 Downtown Columbus Source: Google Maps To heal the scar created by the expressway, the obvious solution would be to build a hard cap over the expressway.

    Wednesday, July 14, 2021 75 cents ESTABLISHED 1896 • VOL. 175, NO. 189 As gun violence continues to rise, grief counselors in short supply By CLAUDIA LAUER Associated Press PHILADELPHIA (AP) — As Brett Roman Williams stood at the Phil- adelphia Medical Examiner’s office staring at a photo of his older broth- er’s face, a familiar feeling welled in his chest. Williams’ father was shot and killed in 1996, when Williams was 11, and the ebb and flow of grief had washed over him for 20 years. But in 2016, when his brother was killed by gun- fire, Williams reached out to a grief counselor for help coping. Now, Williams serves on the board for the organization where he once sought solace, and he’s trying to provide that same kind of support to others. But the demand is far outpac- ing the supply of counselors because of spiking crime. With more than 270 homicides in Philadelphia during the first half of (AP Photo/Shafkat Anowar) 2021, the city has been outpacing the number of murders in 2020, when Crosby Smith is a care provider at Ludeman Developmental Center, a state home for the developmentally disabled in Park Forest, Ill.

    Appendix A: Assets and Freight Flow Technical Memo Appendix A- ASSETS AND FREIGHT FLOW TECHNICAL MEMO Missouri State Freight Plan | Appendix A | Page 1 Appendix A: Assets and Freight Flow Technical Memo Assets and Freight Flow This technical memorandum provides an inventory of the existing freight assets and freight flows. The inventory includes all modes of freight transportation; highway, rail, air, water, and pipeline. It also includes an inventory of intermodal facilities where the different modes interact to exchange freight and the freight generators located within Missouri. For each of the modes of transportation a discussion of freight flows and forecasts is provided. Introduction Freight movement provides many economic benefits to the State through the shipment of parts to support production done in Missouri by Missouri workers, as well as, through the shipment of finished products moved both into and out of the State. The economic vitality of the State relies on transportation of goods into, out of, within, and to a lesser extent through Missouri to support jobs and growth throughout the State. The production and transporting goods are key elements to the economic vitality of Missouri. The top ten occupations in Missouri for 2012 are shown in Table A-1. Two key occupations (Production and Transportation) are listed for 2012. Production is at number four with 188,170 employees and Transportation at number six with 176,490 employees.
