  • Chapter 2: Project Alternatives A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 2: Project Alternatives A. INTRODUCTION Numerous alternatives have been developed and analyzed for a new Second Avenue Subway since the project was first conceived nearly 75 years ago. Although routes continued to evolve during those seven decades, three major plans were developed: a 1929 plan with an alignment under Second Avenue and Water Street, 1940s plans with a similar alignment to the 1929 plan but with additional connections to the Nassau Street Line and the Manhattan Bridge, and a 1968 plan (also along Second Avenue and Water Street), which was partially constructed in East Harlem and the Lower East Side in the late 1970s before construction was suspended because of New York City’s fiscal situation at the time. Most recently, MTA/NYCT undertook an extensive Major Investment Study (MIS) and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), published in 1999, that analyzed a wide range of possible alternatives to ease transit problems on Manhattan’s East Side. That study, known as the Manhattan East Side Transit Alternatives (MESA) Study, was undertaken in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the MIS process established by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), now the Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). For more information on the process and the extensive public outreach effort for the MESA Study, see Chapter 4, “Public Outreach and Review Process.” The MIS/DEIS evaluated a large number of possible alternatives, considering the project’s goals and

    Chapter 23: Response to Comments on the SDEIS1 A. INTRODUCTION This chapter summarizes and responds to all substantive comments on the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) published in March 2003 for the Second Avenue Subway. Public review for the SDEIS began on March 2003, with publication and distribution of the document. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) held two public hearings to receive comments on the document: on May 12, 2003 in the auditorium of the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House at One Bowling Green (Lower Manhattan); and on May 13, 2003, in the Hecksher Auditorium at El Museo del Barrio, 1230 Fifth Avenue (at 104th Street in East Harlem). The public comment period remained open until June 10, 2003. The SDEIS was circulated to involved and interested agencies and other parties and posted on the MTA’s website, and notice of its availability and the public hearing were published in the Federal Register on April 11, 2003. To advertise the public hearing, MTA published notices in the New York Post, Hoy, Amsterdam News, Chinese World Journal, and New York Daily News. In addition, information on the public hearing was posted on the MTA’s website, a notice of public hearing was mailed to all public officials and interested parties in the MTA service area; and a press release announcing the hearing was sent to all media outlets in the area. Bilingual signs announcing the hearing were posted in all MTA New York City Transit (NYCT) subway stations and on some buses. Brochures were handed out in major Manhattan East Side NYCT subway stations.

    Kay Scarpetta Series Volume 6 FROM POTTER’S FIELD Patricia Cornwell And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. -Genesis 4:10 'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS He walked with sure steps through snow, which was deep in Central Park, and it was late now, but he was not certain how late. Toward the Ramble rocks were black beneath stars, and he could hear and see his breathing because he was not like anybody else. Temple Gault had always been magical, a god who wore a human body. He did not slip as he walked, for example, when he was quite certain others would, and he did not know fear. Beneath the bill of a baseball cap, his eyes scanned. In the spot - and he knew precisely where it was - he squatted, moving the skirt of a long black coat out of the way. He set an old army knapsack in the snow and held his bare bloody hands in front of him, and though they were cold, they weren't impossibly cold. Gault did not like gloves unless they were made of latex, which was not warm, either. He washed his hands and face in soft new snow, then patted the used snow into a bloody snowball. This he placed next to the knapsack because he could not leave them. He smiled his thin smile. He was a happy dog digging on the beach as he disrupted snow in the park, eradicating footprints, looking for the emergency door.

  • GUNSMOKE TV CAST and DETAILS Premiered
    GUNSMOKE TV CAST AND DETAILS Premiered: September 10, 1955, on CBS Rating: TV-PG Premise: This landmark adult Western centered on Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City. John Wayne turned down the lead, suggesting James Arness (who remained for its entire run). Originating on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon), it moved to TV in September 1955. Its popularity spawned a number of copycats, but none would enjoy the longevity (and few the consistent quality) of this classic. Airing for 20 years, it's TV's longest running prime-time drama (a record that `Law & Order' is currently chasing). Gunsmoke Cast • James Arness : Marshal Matt Dillon • Milburn Stone : Dr. Galen `Doc' Adams • Amanda Blake : Kitty Russell • Dennis Weaver : Chester Goode • Ken Curtis : Festus Haggen • Burt Reynolds : Quint Asper • James Nusser : Louie Pheeters • Charles Seel : Barney Danches • Howard Culver : Howie Culver • Tom Brown : Ed O'Connor • John Harper : Percy Crump • Dabbs Greer : Mr. Jonus • George Selk : Moss Grimmick • Hank Patterson : Hank Miller • Glenn Strange : Sam • Sarah Selby : Ma Smalley • Ted Jordan : Nathan Burke • Roger Ewing : Clayton Thaddeus `Thad' Greenwood • Roy Roberts : Mr. Bodkin • Woody Chamblis : Mr. Lathrop • Buck Taylor : Newly O'Brien • Charles Wagenheim : Halligan • Pat Hingle : Dr. John Chapman • Fran Ryan : Miss Hannah Gunsmoke Credits • Sam Peckinpah : Screenwriter Gunsmoke Directors • Harry Horner : Director Gunsmoke Guest Cast • Aaron Saxon : Basset • Aaron Spelling : Weed Pindle • Abraham Sofaer : Harvey Easter • Adam West : Hall

The trainee is helped to perceive his role L'alistically and to plan his future Place in society. Self- evaluation and planning for future employment are major themes running through the sessions. Through the sessions the counselor can teach significant items of information regarding work and self. Although this material is especially designed for adult groups preparing to enter the labor force, the techniques may be modified scmewhat for use with non-college-bound secondary students. The materials do not constitute a sequential course of study, nor do they encompass all the problems encountered by the disadvantaged worker. Rather they are planning models that counselors will want to adapt to the needs of their own cl4entele and the local conditions prevailing in their area.
