    Federal Transit Administration Region V Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)

    Federal Transit Administration Region V RED-PURPLE BYPASS PROJECT IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) A. Introduction This document provides the basis for a determination by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), of a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Red‐Purple Bypass Project. This determination is made in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, 42 United States Code (U.S.C.) § 4332(2)(c); FTA’s implementing procedures (23 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] § 771.121); Section 4(f) of the USDOT Act of 1966, 49 U.S.C. § 303; and the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, 54 U.S.C. § 300101 et seq. FTA, as the federal lead agency, and Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), as the local project sponsor, jointly prepared the Environmental Assessment (EA) and Section 4(f) Evaluation to describe potential impacts on the human and natural environment and historic integrity that may result from the Red‐Purple Bypass Project on the CTA Red and Purple lines. The EA was prepared pursuant to 23 CFR § 771.119 and issued by FTA on May 19, 2015. This FONSI is prepared by FTA pursuant to 23 CFR § 771.121., and incorporates by reference the EA and other cited documentation. B. Existing Conditions Figure 1 is a map of the project limits. The Red‐Purple Bypass Project area is approximately 5 miles north of downtown Chicago, in the Lakeview community area. The project area, just north of Belmont station, includes the existing junction where three CTA rail lines, the Red, Purple, and Brown lines, converge at an existing flat junction (known as Clark Junction), mainline Red and Purple line tracks extend north to Newport and Cornelia Avenues, and the Brown Line branch extends west to approximately Seminary Avenue.

As the preeminent stakeholders of our vitally important system of public transportation, you deserve to know how the system operates and where it is headed. Let this publication be your first step in learning the dimensions of our activities on your behalf. Congestion robs us of mobility, productivity and time. Public transportation is a crucial element in our regional effort to maintain competitiveness and quality of life. Our system is strong and performs admirably. However, its capital needs are significantly unfunded, its operating costs are too high and ridership has declined alarmingly from post-war peaks. If we are to overcome these challenges it will be based on an informed public making business-like decisions. Such decisions will be grounded in facts, like those compiled here.
