the I–470 interchange, including the
entire Kansas City Downtown Central
Business District (CBD) Freeway Loop,
in Jackson County, Missouri.
Ms.
Peggy J. Casey, Environmental Projects
Engineer, FHWA Division Office, 3220
West Edgewood, Suite H, Jefferson City,
MO 65109, Telephone: (573) 636–7104;
or Mr. Kevin Keith, Chief Engineer,
Missouri Department of Transportation,
P.O. Box 270, Jefferson City, MO 65102,
Telephone: (573) 751–2803.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

The
FHWA, in cooperation with the
Missouri Department of Transportation
(MoDOT), will prepare a First Tier EIS
to consider the impacts of
improvements to I–70 from the end of
the last ramp termini east of the
Missouri and Kansas state line to east of
the I–470 interchange, including the
entire Kansas City downtown CBD
freeway loop, in Jackson County,
Missouri. The project length is
approximately 18 miles (20 miles with
freeway loop segments).
MoDOT, in partnership with MidAmerica Regional Council (MARC), and
the Kansas City Area Transportation
Authority (KCATA), completed a Major
Investment Study (MIS) for the I–70
corridor in Jackson County in
November, 2004. The MIS evaluated the
I–70 corridor in a general nature and
recommended an improvement strategy
that would reconstruct and widen the
existing facility from Kansas City’s
downtown CBD freeway loop to the
Route F/H interchange in Oak Grove,
Missouri. This strategy also included
redesigning access and interchanges for
the entire CBD freeway loop.
FHWA and MoDOT are now
preparing a First Tier EIS to develop an
improvement strategy for the highway
elements of the I–70 corridor, using the
MIS Statement of Purpose and Need and
Strategy Packages as the foundation.
The First Tier EIS will coordinate with
completed and ongoing studies. These
studies include the I–70 Transit
Alternatives Analysis; the Kansas City,
Missouri’s Downtown CBD Study; the I–
29/I–35 Paseo Bridge Corridor EIS; the
I–470 Purpose and Need study; and the
I–70 Supplemental EIS study.
Strategies to be considered include (1)
no build; (2) highway widening and
interchange improvement strategies; and
(3) transportation system management
options. The First Tier EIS will seek to
determine sections of independent
utility over this 18-mile stretch of I–70
that will become the basis for second
tier environmental studies (20 miles
with the freeway loop segments).

The First Tier EIS will conform to the
environmental review process as
established in Section 6002 of the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient,
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users (SAFETEA–LU). The Section 6002
environmental review process requires
the following activities: Identification
and invitation of cooperating and
participating agencies; establishment of
a coordination plan; and opportunities
for additional agency and public
comment on the project’s purpose and
need, strategies, and methodologies for
determining impacts.
As part of the scoping process, an
interagency coordination meeting will
be held with federal and state resource
agencies and local agencies. In addition,
informational meetings with the public
and community representatives will be
held to solicit input on the project. The
Study Management Team from the I–70
MIS will be re-established and will
consist of agency staff from MoDOT,
MARC, KCAT, and other identified local
participating agencies. A location public
hearing will be held to present the
findings of the Draft First Tier EIS.
Public notice will be given announcing
the time and place of all public
meetings and the hearing. The Draft
First Tier EIS will be available for
public and agency review and comment
prior to the public hearing.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to this proposed action is
addressed and all significant issues are
identified, comments and suggestions
are invited from all interested parties.
Comments and questions concerning
this proposed action and the First Tier
EIS should be directed to the FHWA or
MoDOT at the addresses provided
above. Concerns in the study area
include potential impacts to
communities, cultural resources, and
rivers.
