FOREWORD an Environmental Class of Action FOREWORD An Environmental Class of Action Determination (ECAD) was prepared resulting in a Categorical Exclusion Group II classification approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on August 14, 2003. Subsequently, the Dan Ryan Expressway reconstruction project received Design Approval on August 21, 2003. The Build Alternative Scenario #2 (ECAD Approved Alternate) met the Purpose and Need and was selected as the build alternate. As a result of community concerns the Dan Ryan Taskforce was convened in January 2004 to further engage the community in the planning of the Dan Ryan Expressway reconstruction project. The Taskforce represented over 20 communities surrounding the Dan Ryan Expressway. The charge of the Taskforce was to determine whether options to Scenario #2 (ECAD Approved Alternate) could be developed that would restore some or all of the ramps that were proposed to be removed with Scenario #2 (ECAD Approved Alternate). From this community outreach effort, the preferred course of action is Scenario #3 (Preferred Alternate). The following Environmental Assessment (EA) addresses the environmental issues areas for both Scenario #2 (ECAD Approved Alternate) and Scenario #3 (Preferred Alternate).

Points of interest include bridges, dams, gaging stations, county lines, hydrologic unit boundaries, and major tributaries. Drainage areas are presented for selected sites, including total drainage area for any streams draining at least 100 square miles. INTRODUCTION Expansion of water-resource investigations within the State of Illinois has amplified the need for a common index to locations on streams. A common index would aid in the coordination of various stream-related activities by facilitating data collection and interpretation.

  • Chapter Provides Information on EGC ESP Site Location, On-Site
    CHAPTER 2 Site Characteristics This chapter provides information on the EGC ESP Site location, on-site activities and controls, present and projected population distribution, meteorological, hydrological, geological, and seismological characteristics. The purpose of presenting this information is to provide the bases for demonstrating the adequacy of the site characteristics from a site safety viewpoint and to provide input to support environmental characterization. The influence of the EGC ESP site characteristics on the design and operation of a possible future nuclear power facility will be assessed at the construction and operating license (COL) stage pursuant to 10 CFR 52 Subpart C. REV2 2-1 CHAPTER 2 - SITE CHARACTERISTICS SITE SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT FOR EGC EARLY SITE PERMIT SECTION 2.1 – GEOGRAPHY AND DEMOGRAPHY 2.1 Geography and Demography 2.1.1 Site Location and Description 2.1.1.1 Specification of Location The EGC ESP Facility will be co-located on the property of the existing CPS Facility and its associated 4,895 ac man-made cooling reservoir (Clinton Lake) (CPS, 2002). The EGC ESP Facility will be located approximately 700 ft south of the existing CPS Facility. The CPS Facility lies within Zone 16 of the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. The exact UTM coordinates for the EGC ESP Facility will depend upon the specific reactor technology selected for deployment and will be finalized at COL. As shown on Figures 1.2-1 and 2.1-1 there is a complex transportation system surrounding the EGC ESP Site. The nearest major highways are Illinois State Routes 54, 10, and 48, all of which cross the CPS Facility property.

  • Meeting Display Boards for Public Meetings on the Ashland Avenue Ashland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Project, Held December 10 and 11, 2013
    Meeting Display Boards for Public Meetings on the Ashland Avenue Ashland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Project, held December 10 and 11, 2013. Logos: CTA in partnership with Chicago Department of Transportation and Chicago Department of Housing and Economic Development Welcome: Welcome to the public open house for the Ashland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Environmental Assessment and project. • In April 2013, CTA and CDOT announced a vision for a center running Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system on Ashland Avenue between Irving Park Road and 95th Street to provide a fast and reliable north/ south transit connection for 16 miles through Chicago. The vision reflects the planning process and community engagement undertaken in 2012. • Over the summer, CTA and CDOT heard from various key stakeholders about this plan. We are now holding two public open house meetings as an extension of this outreach to gather additional input from the public. CTA and CDOT are still developing the Ashland BRT design, and we are considering options and modifications, including the implementation of additional left turns, based on continued feedback from the public. • The public open house meetings will summarize studies of the project impacts, including traffic analyses, that have been performed as part of the formal Environmental Assessment for the project, in accordance with federal government requirements. The Environmental Assessment is now complete and available on CTA’s website and in hard copy at several community locations. CTA and CDOT would like your comments on the Environmental Assessment, which can be made at the public open houses or by e-mail at [email protected].

  • 2018 Fourth Quarter Progress Report October-December
    2014-2018 CHICAGO FIVE-YEAR HOUSING PLAN Strengthening Neighborhoods ----- Increasing Affordability. 2018 FOURTH QUARTER PROGRESS REPORT OCTOBER-DECEMBER City of Chicago Rahm Emanuel, Mayor LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER We are pleased to submit the 2018 Fourth Quarter Progress Report, which presents the Department of Planning and Development’s progress on the goals set forth in#PVODJOH#BDL the City’s fifth Five-Year Housing Plan covering the years 2014-2018. The document you hold in your hands marks two important milestones— the completion of the current Five-Year Plan and the final report from the Department of Planning and Development before our transition to a new, freestanding Department of Housing beginning January 1, 2019. For the full year 2018, DPD committed $271.8 million to preserve or create 8,539 units of housing in Chicago. These totals represent 85% of our annual resource allocation goal and 100% of our units assisted goal. The paTt five years have been particularly eventful ones for housing in Chicago. When they began we were still struggling to emerge from the 2007-8 market crash and ensuing recession; as they end we have entered a new era of growth that will bring forth a different set of challenges that the new Housing Department will be well positioned to address. With the help of our valued partners in the neighborhoods and the development com- munity, we coordinated the investment of OFBSMZ$CJMMJPO to preserve or create 22 units. This represents % of the five-year resource allocation goal and % of the five-year unit production goal. These investments fell into the following categories: • $37 billion to create or preserve 88 units of rental housing • $ million to promote and support homeownership for units • $ million to improve and preserve homeowner units During the fourth quarter of 2018 the City completed the drafting of our next Five-Year Plan for the years 2019-23.
