General Description The subject project involves the removal and replacement of Bridge Numbers 256 and 257 on US 52 in Winston-Salem These bridges carry US 52 over SR 2456 (Liberty Street) and railroad tracks of the Norfolk Southern Railway Company A temporary detour structure will be required to maintain traffic along US 52 during construction of the new bridges In addition to the proposed bridge replacements, the project will also involve the permanent closure of the exit ramp from northbound US 52 onto Liberty Street, as well as improvements to the surrounding streets Several Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) items, such as traffic cameras and a variable message sign, will also be installed along US 52 within the existing right of way as a part of the project The project area is shown on Figure 1 TIP Project U-2826A is included in the approved 2004-2010 North Carolina Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Right of way acquisition is scheduled for fiscal year 2004 and construction is scheduled for fiscal year 2006 C. Cost Estimates The cost estimate included in the TIP for the project is $12,800,000 Of this total, $800,000 is allocated for right of way acquisition and $12,000,000 for construction Current cost estimates are as follows Construction $13,000,000 Right of Way Acquisition $ 601,500 TOTAL $13,601,500 II. NEED FOR PROJECT A. Description of Existing Facility 1. Functional Classification US 52 is classified as an Urban Principal Arterial in the North Carolina functional classification system Liberty Street is classified as an Urban Collector 2. Roadway US 52 is a primary north-south route through central Forsyth county The existmg typical section is a four-lane divided highway with two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction separated by a 16-foot median The outside paved shoulders are approximately 10 feet The posted speed limit is 55 mph A number of interchanges, many of which do not provide for all movements, are located along US 52 through Winston-Salem Two partial interchanges exist within the project lnnits At the two bridges to be replaced by this project, a single ramp provides access from northbound US 52 onto northbound Liberty Street Approximately 1,800 feet south of the bridges, a partial interchange provides access from US 52 to several surrounding streets A single ramp and loop allow northbound US 52 traffic to access Cleveland Avenue and 25`h Street, respectively A ramp and loop also provide access from 28th Street/Indiana Avenue and Cleveland Avenue to northbound US 52. A single ramp provides access from southbound US 52 onto Liberty Street No access is provided onto southbound US 52 at this location (the ramp onto southbound US 52 was closed and removed under a previous TIP project). Liberty Street passes beneath the subject bridges. Between 25`h and 28th Streets, Liberty Street is a four-lane curb and gutter facility with two travel lanes in each direction. North of 28a' Street, the typical section changes to one northbound lane and two southbound lanes Beneath the bridges, the roadway width is approximately 41 feet At the ramp merge, Liberty Street gains an additional northbound lane Thirtieth Street intersects Liberty Street approximately 150 feet north of the exit ramp The posted speed linnit along this portion of Liberty Street is 45 mph. East of its intersection with Liberty Street, 28 h Street/Indiana Avenue crosses beneath US 52 On the east side of US 52, 28 h Street makes a sharp turn to the south and becomes Cleveland Avenue The entrance and exit ramps connecting this area to northbound US 52 are located along tins section of Cleveland Avenue Cleveland Avenue is a two-lane facility 2 3. Existing Structures Bridge Number 256 carves two lanes of northbound US 52 traffic over Liberty Street and the Norfolk Southern Railroad This bridge was constructed in 1964, and is 423 feet long It has a deck width of 33 5 feet, and a clear roadway width of 28 feet The superstructure of the five span bridge is composed of a reinforced concrete deck and steel I-beam girders The bents are either concrete posts on spread footings or concrete piles The bridge currently has a sufficiency rating of 45 5 (out of 100 possible rating points) Bridge Number 257 carves two lanes of southbound US 52 traffic This bridge was also constructed in 1964, and is 387 feet long Bridge Number 257 has a deck width of 33 5 feet, and a clear roadway width of 28 feet This five span bridge has a sufficiency rating of 44 9 The bridge's deck is composed of reinforced concrete on steel I-beams The substructure of this bridge is the same as Bridge Number 256 4. Right of Way and Access Control Existing right of way along US 52 within the project limits ranges between 160 and 250 feet Access along US 52 is fully controlled Approximately 60 feet of right of way exists along Liberty Street within the project area There is no control of access along this roadway 5. Intersections As discussed in Section II-A-2, a partial interchange on US 52 provides access to 25`' Street, 28`' Street/Indiana Avenue and Cleveland Avenue from US 52 northbound and Liberty Street from US 52 southbound The exit and entrance ramps for northbound US 52 are located on Cleveland Avenue Twenty-sixth Street also intersects Cleveland Avenue, but is offset from the ramp terminals This intersection is not signalized Both 28`h Street and 30a' Street have intersections with Liberty Street in the project area Of these two, only the intersection of 28th Street and Liberty Street is signalized 6. Railroad Crossings Bridge Numbers 256 and 257 carry US 52 over the Norfolk Southern Railroad A single mainline track and several sidetracks exist under the bridge Between two and eight through freight trains, and approximately three switching trams pass under the bridges per day 3 7. Bicycle Accommodations/Sidewalks No sidewalks or bicycle accommodations exist along US 52 No exclusive bicycle lanes or bicycle accommodations exist along the studied portion of Liberty Street A sidewalk, approximately four feet wide, runs along the east side of Liberty Street under the bridges The sidewalk ends in the area of the Liberty Street exit ramp from northbound US 52 8. Utilities Sanitary sewer Imes, water Imes and telephone Imes are located along the east side of Liberty Street in the project area Piedmont Natural Gas Imes are located along the west side of Liberty Street Fiber optic Ines are located further away from Liberty Street, on Norfolk Southern's property Telephone and power poles are located along both sides of the street Water and sewer Ines are located along 26th Street Gas Ines are located on the north side of the street Water, sewer, gas and telephone Imes are located on the east side of US 52, along the Piedmont Park property 9. School Bus Data Hanes-Lowrance school is located on Indiana Avenue, dust west of Liberty Street Within the project area, bus usage along US 52, Liberty Street and Cleveland Avenue is approximately 80 buses per day 10. Airports Smith Reynolds Airport is located on the east side of Liberty Street, just north of the project area This airport primarily serves general aviation. The airport has two runways Bridge Numbers 256 and 257 are located approximately 2,400 feet southwest of runway 4, and are within the approach path for the runway Approximately 110 aircraft are based at the airport Smith Reynolds is the home of PACE Airlines, a charter airline 11. Traffic Volumes Anticipated traffic volumes for the project area were estimated for the years 2006 and 2025 considering both the existing ramp configuration and the proposed permanent closure of the Liberty Street exit ramp Traffic volumes based on the existing ramp configuration for the years 2006 and 2025 are shown on Figures 4A and 413. Traffic 4 volumes for the area based on the proposed permanent closure of the Liberty Street exit ramp are shown on Figures 4C and 4D for the same two years If no changes were made to the present ramp configuration, volumes along US 52 in the project area would range between 47,000 and 68,400 vehicles per day (vpd) for the year 2025 Approximately 68,400 vpd would use US 52 in the area of the bridge replacement Along Liberty Street, north of Cleveland Avenue/Indiana Avenue, volumes are expected to range between 13,600 and 17,100 vpd With the removal of the Liberty Street exit ramp, volumes along US 52 are anticipated to range between 47,000 and 70,500 vpd for the year 2025 Approximately 70,500 vpd are anticipated to use US 52 in the area of the bridges Along Liberty Street, volumes are expected to range between 14,800 and 19,900 vpd Comparing these two scenarios (no-build and recommended build), traffic volumes increase at the 25th Street/28t' Street ramp area and at the Akron Drive exit Some increase in volumes also appears along Liberty Street and Akron Drive, however, outside the project area anticipated traffic volumes vary only slightly North of Akron Drive, volumes along US 52 do not change 12. Accident Record Accident studies were conducted along existing facilities within the project area for the time period between May 2000 and April 2003 Accident studies were conducted along US 52 between the Liberty Street entrance ramp near New Hope Lane (formerly 18th Street) and Akron Drive Accident studies were also conducted along Liberty Street from 25U' Street to Fairchild Road and along Cleveland Avenue from 18`h Street to Indiana Avenue Table 1 below presents the results of these studies Table 1 Crash Data alone Existine Facilities Roadway 5/004/03 Number of Crashes 5/004/03 Number of Fatal Crashes Total Crash Rate# for Studied Section 1999-2001 Statewide Crash Rate" US 52 255 0 271 23 179 23* Liberty Street 80 0 681 52 482 86** Cleveland Avenue 70 0 1013 43 N/A Trash rates per 100 million vehicle miles *Statewide crash rate for urban four-lane divided US routes (with full control of access) **Statewide crash rate for urban four-lane undivided secondary routes Cleveland Avenue is not a state-maintained facility, therefore, comparative statewide crash rates are not available 5 The crashes along US 52 resulted in over one million dollars of property damage The largest number of crashes along the studied portion of US 52 were rear-end type collisions due to slowing or stopping 13. Other Highway Projects in the Area TIP Project U-2826B is a $15 million project to improve safety and relieve traffic congestion on US 52 between the I-40 Bypass and the proposed Western Loop Interchange in Winston-Salem The subject project (U-2826A) is located within the limits of project U-2826B The exact scope of Project U-2826B has not been determined, but a study to determine the most cost-effective locations for safety improvements is underway The project may include the permanent closure of some on and off ramps to US 52, the use of highway shoulders as travel lanes, and the installation of cameras and other devices to provide motorists with information about traffic congestion and crashes A decision on the scope of proposed improvements is anticipated in the Spring of 2004 Right of way acquisition is scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2005 and construction is scheduled in fiscal year 2007 TIP Project B-4746 proposes to replace Bridge Number 229 on SR 2264 (Akron Drive) over railroad tracks owned by the Norfolk Southern Railway Company. Right of way acquisition is scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2008 and construction is scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2010 B. Deficiencies of Existing Facility Bridge Number 256 has a sufficiency rating of 45 5, and is considered both structurally deficient and functionally obsolete Bridge Number 257 has a sufficiency rating of 44 9 and is also considered structurally deficient and functionally obsolete According to federal guidelines, these bridges warrant replacement. As mentioned in Section II-A-2, a number of ramps and interchanges are located along US 52 in the project area. Just south of the two bridges to be replaced by this project, a single exit ramp provides access from northbound US 52 onto northbound Liberty Street. Currently, the weaving distance on US 52 between the 28th StreevIndiana Avenue entrance ramp onto northbound US 52 and the Liberty Street exit ramp is approximately 610 feet. The rmnunum recommended weaving distance along an urban freeway is 1,600 feet In 2025, this weaving segment is anticipated to operate at level of service (LOS) E The vertical alignment along US 52 does not meet a 60 MPH design speed As part of the bridge replacement project, the vertical alignment on US 52 in the project area will be adjusted to meet a 60 MPH design speed. In order to meet this standard on US 52 6 and meet other design standards for ramps, the location of the Liberty Street exit ramp (on US 52) would need to shift south of its present location This lessens the weaving distance on US 52 between the 28 h Street/Indiana Avenue entrance ramp and the Liberty Street exit ramp Therefore, making these improvements along US 52 and retaining both the entrance and exit ramps in this area are not feasible C. Benefits of Proposed Proiect The proposed project will replace two obsolete bridges with wider structures which can accommodate possible future widening The project will also improve safety and traffic operations along US 52 in the vicinity of the bridges by eliminating an existing weave section between two ramps By removing the Liberty Street exit ramp, a longer acceleration lane on US 52 for the 28th Street/Indiana Avenue entrance ramp can be accommodated In 2025 with the proposed improvements, this on-ramp is anticipated to operate at level of service C III. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS A. Proposed Structures Bridge numbers 256 and 257 will be replaced at their existing location with new dual structures (Figure 2) Each of the new structures will have a clear roadway width of approximately 52 feet This width will accommodate three 12-foot lanes (two travel lanes and acceleration or deceleration lanes for interchange), 6-foot inside and 10-foot outside shoulders (Figure 5) The structure carrying northbound traffic will be approximately 450 feet in length The second structure, which will carry southbound traffic, will be approximately 400 feet in length B. Roadway On US 52, the existing four-lane divided typical section will be maintained There will be approximately 900 feet of new approach work to the south and approximately 2,000 feet of new approach work to the north of the two bridges This approach work includes some modifications to the vertical grade on US 52 in order to meet a 60 MPH design speed In addition to the proposed bridge replacements, the project will also involve the permanent closure of the exit ramp from northbound US 52 to Liberty Street In addition, a second northbound lane will be added to Liberty Street between 28 h Street and the existing four-lane section on Liberty Street in order to accommodate airport and neighborhood traffic Improvements will be made at some intersections within the protect limits More details regarding locations and recommendations are provided in Section III-E 7 C. Right of Way and Access Control A variable amount of right of way will be required for the project Along the east side of Liberty Street, up to approximately 25 feet of additional right of way may be acquired for the proposed improvements New right of way acquisition will also be required along US 52 South of the bridges, additional right of way will be required along the west side of US 52 North of the bridges, additional right of way will be' required along both sides of US 52 Temporary construction easements will be required along much of the protect, as well The existing full control of access along US 52 will be maintained No changes to the access control along Liberty Street are recommended D. Design Speed/Design Exceptions A 60 MPH design speed is proposed for portions of the project on US 52 No design exceptions are anticipated for this project E. Intersections As part of the proposed project, improvements will be made to the existing 250' Street/28`h Street interchange The loop providing direct access from 28th Street onto northbound US 52 will be removed This movement will continue to be accommodated, however, traffic will use the ramp from Cleveland Avenue onto northbound US 52 As part of the improvements, 26`h Street will be realigned to intersect Cleveland Avenue across from the US 52 ramps It is likely this new intersection will be signalized A traffic signal study will be conducted at the intersection of Liberty Street and 30th Street following construction of the project in order to determine the feasibility of a signal at that location F. Signing Directional signing will be provided along northbound US 52 to direct motorists wishing to access northbound Liberty Street and the Smith Reynolds Airport G. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Items As part of the proposed project, several Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) items will be installed and connected to the existing system along US 52 Six video cameras will be mounted on poles within the existing right of way in order to provide coverage of US 52 in the vicinity of the project In addition, one dynamic message sign will also be installed along northbound US 52, south of the project area Fiber optic cable and other hardware required for communication and image transmission will also be installed H. Bicycle Accommodations/Sidewalks Existing sidewalks removed in order to construct this project will be replaced by NCDOT at no cost to the City of Winston Salem The City has requested new sidewalk along the east side of Liberty Street between 28 h Street and 30th Street The City has not yet conumtted to participate in the cost of the new sidewalk NCDOT's Pedestrian Policy Guidelines requires municipalities to commit to participate in the cost of pedestrian facilities and maintenance and liability responsibilities The Project Development and Environmental Analysis Branch will continue to coordinate with the City of Winston Salem regarding their commitment to pedestrian facilities along the project 1. Degree of Utility Conflict Based on the location of utilities in the project area, it is anticipated power poles along Liberty Street will need to be relocated Due to the realignment of 26`, Street, conflicts with the gas line in the area may occur, as well J. Maintenance of Traffic Two lanes of traffic will be maintained in both directions on US 52 during construction of the project A temporary detour, including a temporary detour bridge, will be constructed on the west side of US 52 in order to maintain traffic during construction of the new bridges (Figure 2) The detour will be removed following construction Temporary lane closures may be required at times along US 52 or on some of the surrounding streets, but these closures will not be permitted during peak hours IV. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED ACTION A. Bridge Typical Section Alternatives The subject protect proposes to replace Bridge Nos 256 and 257 with new structures that have a clear roadway width of approximately 52 feet Structures with a clear roadway width of approximately 40 feet were also considered This width would accommodate two 12-foot travel lanes and 4-foot inside and 12-foot outside shoulders. This width would also allow three 11-foot travel lanes to be configured, but would only be acceptable for use on a part-tune basis It was determined the bridges need to have 9 sufficient width to accommodate three twelve-foot travel lanes, with shoulders This provides the most flexibility in accommodating future typical sections along US 52 Rehabilitating Bridge Numbers 256 and 257 was not considered a viable alternative due to their poor condition B. Detour and Ramp Closure Alternatives Traffic Maintenance Alternatives The following traffic maintenance alternatives were considered for the project off-site detour, phased construction (no detour), realignment of US 52, and temporary detour structure An off-site detour was not considered feasible due to the volume of traffic on US 52 Phasing construction without a detour was also not a feasible alternative This type of traffic maintenance would require reducing traffic to one lane in each direction, which is not feasible considering the large volumes of traffic on US 52 Constructing one of the structures on new alignment was not found to be a feasible alternative Criteria for the recommended design speed cannot be met on new alignment without impacting the structures on US 52 located to the north or the south of the subject bridges Therefore, building one of the permanent structures on new alignment was eliminated from consideration A temporary detour (including temporary structure) will be required to maintain traffic along US 52 during construction of the new bridges The temporary detour will not meet a 60 MPH design speed; however, tlus is acceptable for temporary use Two alternatives were considered for the proposed detour, an east-side detour and a west-side detour Ramp Closure Alternatives Two ramp closure alternatives were considered for the project These alternatives were developed after it was determined the bridge replacement project would lessen the weaving distance between the 28th Street/Indiana Avenue entrance ramp onto northbound US 52 and the Liberty Street exit ramp. Because of the close space between these two ramps, it was determined either the 28th Street/Indiana Avenue entrance ramp or the Liberty Street exit ramp should be permanently closed in order to eliminate the weaving problem at this location With the Liberty Street ramp closure alternative, improvements will be made to the existing 25th Street/28t' Street interchange and 261' Street will be realigned to intersect with 28h Street across from the ramps In addition, a second northbound lane will be added to Liberty Street between 28th Street and the existing four-lane section in order to help accommodate airport and neighborhood traffic 10 With the 28th Street/Indiana Avenue entrance ramp closure alternative, appropriate signing will be installed to direct traffic to use the existing on-ramps onto northbound US 52 from other locations Project Alternative Comparison Based on the detour and ramp closure alternatives described above, the following project alternatives were studied • Alternative 1 - East-side temporary detour, Liberty Street exit ramp closure • Alternative 2 - East-side temporary detour, 28th Street/Indiana Avenue entrance ramp closure • Alternative 3 - West-side temporary detour, Liberty Street exit ramp closure • Alternative 4 - West-side temporary detour, 28`h Street/Indiana Avenue entrance ramp closure Alternatives 1 and 2 are shown on Figure 3A Alternatives 3 and 4 are shown on Figure 3B Liberty Street Issues Retaining the Liberty Street exit ramp provides a more direct connection to Liberty Street than using the 25`' Street/28 h Street exit and the connecting streets However, retaining the Liberty Street exit requires the removal of the US 52 northbound entrance ramp from 28th Street/Indiana Avenue. Traffic would then be directed to use the entrance ramps located at New Hope Lane (formerly 18th Street) or Akron Drive This could result in additional traffic traveling in the surrounding residential neighborhoods In addition, retaining the Liberty Street exit ramp provides two off-ramps in the same area while removing the only US 52 entrance ramp that services the immediate area A retaining wall would be constructed adjacent to the exit ramp, in order to limit encroachment on the Piedmont Park public housing complex This results in additional construction cost associated with Alternatives 2 and 4 Permanently removing the Liberty Street exit ramp results in a slightly more circuitous route for northbound Liberty Street traffic However, removal of this ramp helps to reduce safety conflicts at the ramp terminal and 30th Street As mentioned in Section II-A-2, 30'h Street intersects Liberty Street approximately 150 feet north of the exit ramp The present configuration results in a short distance for weaving movements In this area, seven crashes occurred in the three-year time period between May 2000 and April 2003 Therefore, removing the Liberty Street exit helps to eliminate safety conflicts 11 Temporary Detour Issues Constructing the temporary detour on the east-side would require the construction of a retaining wall adjacent to Piedmont Park to limit encroachment on the property This results in additional construction cost associated with Alternatives 1 and 2 Constructing the temporary detour on the east-side would also result in greater impacts to two streams This detour would also require cutting trees, which currently screen a recycling industry from US 52 The west-side detour requires temporary easement acquisition from some of the businesses that line Liberty Street The railroad favors the west-side detour, since it appears to be the least disruptive to their property and operations Alternatives Summary One business will be relocated as a result of the proposed project, regardless of the alternative chosen This is a result of the new approach work associated with the bridge replacements, which does not change with the different alternatives Impacts to terrestrial communities also remain the same with each alternative Alternatives 2 and 4 do have less of an impact on streams in the project area when compared to Alternative 3 (recommended alternative) This is due mainly to the impacts to a stream associated with the realignment of 20h Street. With this realignment, the street moves east and closer to the stream Therefore, total avoidance of impacts to the stream is not possible Alternative 3 is the least expensive when compared to the other "build" alternatives Table 2 compares the four alternatives, measuring approximate impacts within the proposed right of way Table 2 Alternative Comparison Description Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Alternative 3 Recommended Alternative 4 Residential Relocatees 0 0 0 0 Business Relocatees 1 1 1 1 Stream Impacts 350 feet 150 feet 230 feet 30 feet Construction Cost $14,900,000 $13,800,000 $13,000,000 $13,200,000 Right of Way Cost $621,500 $579,500 $601,500 $563,500 Total Cost $15,521,500 $14,379,500 $13,601,500 $13,763,500 C. "No-Build" Alternative The "no-build" alternative would not incur construction costs and would avoid impacts to the natural environment, homes and businesses However, the "no-build" alternative is not practical, eventually requiring the bridges to be closed to traffic, increasing travel tune and inconvemence for roadway users As a result, this alternative was eliminated from consideration 12 V. PROBABLE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF PROPOSED ACTION A. Natural Resources 1. Biotic Resources Biotic resources include aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems Descriptions of the terrestrial systems are presented in the context of plant community classifications (Schafale and Weakley 1990) Dominant plants and animals likely to occur in each community are described and discussed a. Terrestrial Communities Three biotic communities, maintained roadside, piedmont mixed hardwood forest, and piedmont bottomland forest, exist within the project study area and may be impacted by the subject project Each of these communities is described below Maintained Roadside Community The maintained roadside community consists of the highly maintained shoulders and some less intensively managed areas that grade into the surrounding natural communities Significant soil disturbance and compaction, along with frequent mowing or herbicide application, keep this community in an early successional state Dominant plants in the heavily maintained portions of the roadside community include fescue and plantain In the areas that receive less maintenance, more diverse communities develop This community is populated by Japanese honeysuckle, foxtail grass, common ragweed, and kudzu Trees present in this community include willow oak, red cedar, red maple, Chinese privet, and American elm Piedmont Mixed Hardwood Forest Community Dominant plants in the Piedmont mixed hardwood forest community include sourwood, red maple, blackberry, red mulberry, tulip poplar, greenbrier, black cherry, and Japanese honeysuckle One small area within this community is largely dominated by short leaf pine Piedmont Bottomland Forest Community A small Piedmont bottomland forest community exists on the northern end of the project near an unnamed tributary (UT4) to Brushy Fork This community is a wetland Species observed in this community include tulip poplar, red maple, netted chainfem, silkly dogwood, greenbrier, and Chinese privet 13 Wildlife Wildlife found in these communities is limited and consists primarily of wide- ranging, adaptable species, which are well suited to coexistence with human development Mammals common to disturbed edge areas include eastern cottontail rabbit, beaver, Virguma opossum, raccoon, white-tailed deer, and gray squirrel The most common reptiles found in such habitats are eastern box turtle and predators such as black racer and eastern garter snake These species are likely to be found searching for small mammals such as the southeastern shrew, white footed mouse, and hispid cotton rat Birds likely to frequent such habitats include common crow, Carolina chickadee, domestic pigeon, Carolina wren, American robin, mourning dove, and European starling b. Aquatic Communities Two aquatic community types, piedmont perennial streams and piedmont intermittent streams, are located in the project study area. Physical characteristics of the surface waters and condition of the water influence the faunal composition of the aquatic communities Perennial streams support an assemblage of fauna that require a constant source of flowing water Intermittent streams support fauna that inhabits streams that do not flow constantly, but may have areas of standing water Amplubians and reptiles commonly observed in and adjacent to small sized perennial streams in urban areas may include northern water snake, northern cricket frog and green frog Brushy Fork is too small to be of fishing significance Brushy Fork has no habitat for game fish Construction of the proposed project will have various impacts on the biotic resources described Any construction related activities in or near these resources have the potential to impact biological functions Terrestrial Impacts Project construction will result in clearing and degradation of portions of these communities Estimated impacts are derived based on the total project length The entire nght-of-way for each alternative minus the existing road surface was used for this calculation The entire nght-of-way will probably not be impacted, therefore, actual impacts to the communities may be less 14 Table 3 Estimated impacts to terrestrial communities Community type Alternative 1 acres Alternative 2 acres Alternative 3* acres Alternative 4 acres Maintained Roadside 15 15 15 15 16 87 16 87 Piedmont Mixed Hardwood Forest 5 74 5 74 4 02 4 02 Piedmont Bottomland Forest <0 1 <0 1 <0 1 <0 1 Total 20.99 20.99 20.99 20.99 *Recommended Flora and fauna occurring in these communities are generally common throughout North Carolina because of their adaptability to wide ranging environmental factors Moreover, a roadside shoulder community will be re-established after construction Animals temporarily displaced by construction activities should repopulate areas suitable for the species following project completion As a result, it is unlikely that existing species will be displaced significantly from the project study area following construction However, to minimize the temporary effects of project construction, all cleared areas along the roadways will be revegetated with native or non-invasive species promptly after project completion to minimize erosion and the loss of wildlife habitat Aquatic Impacts Aquatic communities are sensitive to any changes in the environment Any action that affects water quality can have an adverse impact on aquatic organisms Although most of the disturbance caused by project construction will be temporary, some impacts will be long term or irreversible Installation or modification of instream structures can permanently affect many physical stream parameters 2. Water Resources a. Physical Characteristics and Water Quality Four unnamed tributaries (UT) to Brushy Fork exist within the study area for the proposed project. Waters in the project vicinity are part of the Yadkm-Pee Dee River Basin Three of the four tributaries (UT1, UT2, and UT3) are classified as intermittent streams UT4 to Brushy Fork is a perenmal stream UT I is located dust east of 261' Street and appears to run parallel to the street UT2, UT3, and UT4 are all located on the east side of US 52, north of the Norfolk Southern rail yard Figure 6 shows the location of each surface water Descriptions of the tributaries are provided in the following table. 15 Table 4 Water Resources in Project Area Name Classification Avg. depth Avg. width Substrate Flow UT I Intermittent 0.0 in 10 ft silt none UT2 Intermittent 0 0 in 1.0 ft silt none UT3 Intermittent 00M 2 0 ft silt none UT4 Perennial 2 0 in 4 0 ft sand, silt slow Streams have been assigned a best usage classification by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) The classification of Brushy Fork [DWQ Index No. 12-94-12-6, (3/1/77)] and its unnamed tributaries is C Class C freshwaters are protected for secondary recreation, fishing, aquatic life propagation and survival, and wildlife No waters classified as High Quality Waters (HQW), Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), or Water Supplies (WS-I or WS-II) occur within one mile of the project study area Water Quality The DWQ has initiated a whole basm approach to water quality management for the 17 river basins within the state Prior to the implementation of the basinwide approach to water quality management, the Benthic Macroinvertebrate Ambient Network assessed water quality by sampling for benthic macroinvertebrate organisms at fixed monitoring sites throughout the state There are no biological monitoring sites located within the project vicinity Point source refers to discharges that enter surface water through a pipe, ditch, or other defined points of discharge Point source dischargers located throughout North Carolina are permitted through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program There are no permitted dischargers located within one mile upstream of the project study area Non-point source refers to runoff that enters surface waters through storm water flow or a non-defined point of discharge In the project area, land development, construction, roads, and parking lots may serve as sources for various forms of nonpoint source pollutants. b. Summary of Anticipated Effects Impacts to four unnamed tributaries to Brushy Fork may occur as a result of project construction. As stated in the previous section, UT4 is the only perennial stream within the project area It is unlikely that UT4 will be directly impacted by project construction. 16 Project construction may result in the following impacts to surface waters • Increased silt loading and sedimentation from erosion of disturbed soils • Changes in light incidence, water clarity, and water temperature due to increased sediment load and riparian vegetation removal • Alteration of stream discharge due to silt loading and changes in surface or ground water drainage patterns • Increased potential for release of toxic compounds such as fuel and oil from construction equipment and other vehicles Precautions will be taken to minimize impacts to water resources in the study area NCDOT's Best Management Practices (BMP) for the Protection of Surface Waters will be strictly enforced throughout the construction stage of the project 3. Waters of the U.S. Surface waters and jurisdictional wetlands fall under the broad category of "waters of the United States," as defined under 33 CFR 328 3(a) Any action that proposes to place fill material into these areas falls under the j unsdiction of the U S Army Corps of Engineers (COE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 US C 1344) a. Surface Waters/Wetlands As discussed in Section V-A-2-a, four surface waters exist within the project area and are considered jurisdictional As mentioned in Section V-A-1-a, a bottomland forest wetland exists within the project area The soil in this community has a hue of 7 5 YR, a value of 3, and a chroma of 1 Hydrologic indicators included saturation and inundation in some portions of the wetland b. Summary of Anticipated Impacts Estimated impacts to four unnamed tributaries to Brushy Fork may occur as a result of project construction Impacts to a small bottomland hardwood wetland may also occur as a result of project construction Impacts to the wetland, based on project length, are estimated to be less than 0 1 acre for each alternate Estimated impacts to surface waters are based on feet of stream within the proposed right of way Estimated impacts for each alternate are provided in Table 5 17 Table 5 Estimated Impacts to Surface Waters" Surface Water Alternative 1 feet Alternative 2 feet Alternative 3* feet Alternative 4 feet UT1 200 0 200 0 UT2 75 75 15 15 UT3 75 75 15 15 UT4 0 0 0 0 Total 350 150 230 30 "Impacts to the wetland located in the project area are estimated to be less than 0 1 acre for each alternative *Recommended c. Anticipated Permit Requirements A Nationwide Permit 23 CFR 330 Appendix A (B) (23) is likely to be applicable for the crossings of the unnamed tributaries to Brushy Fork A North Carolina Division of Water Quality General Certification (Water Quality Certification No 3107) will likely be required for the project d. Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation The COE has adopted through the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) a wetland mitigation policy which embraces the concept of "no net loss of wetlands" and sequencing The purpose of this policy is to restore and maintain the chemical, biological and physical integrity of Waters of the United States, specifically wetlands Mitigation of wetland impacts has been defined by the CEQ to include avoiding impacts (to wetlands), minimizing impacts, rectifying impacts, reducing impacts over time, and compensating for impacts (40 CFR 1508 20). Each of these three aspects (avoidance, minimization, and compensatory mitigation) must be considered sequentially Avoidance The proposed project involves the replacement of two existing bridges along a freeway Total avoidance of impacts to water resources in the project area is not feasible Impacts to UT1 are a result of the realignment of 26th Street to intersect Cleveland Avenue across from the US 52 ramps With this realignment, the street moves east and closer to the stream Total avoidance of impacts to UT1 is not possible. Impacts to the other tributaries will likely result from pipe installation and/or the lengthening of existing pipes 18 Minimization As mentioned in Section V-A-2-a, UT2, UT3 UT4 and the wetland are located to the east of US 52 The recommended alternative will construct the temporary detour on the west side of US 52 This helps to minimize impacts to these tributaries In the areas of these water resources, the steepest side slopes practicable will be used in order to further minimize impacts Implementation of NCDOT's Best Management Practices (BMPs) will also help reduce project impacts on the water resources. Mitigation Compensatory mitigation is not normally considered until anticipated impacts to Waters of the United States have been avoided and mtngntzed to the maximum extent practicable Estimated impacts to jurisdictional wetlands are anticipated to be less than 0 1 acre Compensatory mitigation will not likely be required for these impacts However, final permit/mitigation decisions rest with the COE and DWQ Written approval of the final mitigation plan is required from the DWQ prior to the issuance of a 401 Certification 4. Rare and Protected Species a. Federally-Protected Species Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), Proposed Endangered (PE), and Proposed Threatened (PT) are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended As of January 29, 2003, there are three federally-protected species listed for Forsyth County (Table 6) Table 6 Federally Protected Species for Forsyth County BIOLOGICAL SCIENTIFIC NAME COMMON NAME STATUS HABITAT? CONCLUSION Clemmys Bog turtle T S/A N/A N/A muhlenber ti Ptcoides borealis Red-cockaded E No No Effect woodpecker Cardamine Small-anthered E No No Effect mtcranthera bittercress E -Endangered, a species that is likely to become extinct throughout all or a sigmficant portion of its range T S/A -a species that is Threatened due to similarity of appearance with other raze species that are listed for protection *- Historic record- obscure and incidental record 19 The bog turtle is listed as Threatened due to similarity of appearance to other rare species that are listed for protection These species are not biologically endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act Therefore, a survey is not required No habitat for either the small-anthered bittercress or red-cockaded woodpecker were found during field surveys conducted for the project on November 13, 2001 Due to the amount of time that has passed since the field surveys, the biological conclusions for these species were reviewed in December 2003 and were found to still be valid In addition, a review of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database on December 3, 2003 indicated no known occurrence of either species within one mile of the project area The protect will have "No Effect" on either of these federally-protected species b. Federal Species of Concern Brook floater (Alasmidonta varicosa) is listed as a Federal Species of Concern (FSC) for Forsyth County. Federal Species of Concern are not afforded federal protection under the Endangered Species Act and are not subject to any of its provisions, including Section 7, until they are formally proposed or listed as Threatened or Endangered Organisms which are listed as Endangered, Threatened, or Special Concern by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) list of Rare Plant and Animal Species are afforded state protection under the NC State Endangered Species Act and the NC Plant Protection and Conservation Act of 1979. The Brook floater is listed as Endangered in the NC NHP database (database update May 2003) B. Cultural Resources The proposed protect is subject to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended Correspondence from the State Historic Preservation Office (HPO), dated August 10, 2000 (see Appendix A), stated that they are aware of "no properties of architectural, lustoric, or archaeological significance which would be affected by the project." No archaeology survey was conducted in connection with this project A survey of lustoric arcltectural resources was performed for the area of potential effect (APE) for the protect, including locations where ITS items may be installed No properties were found to be less than fifty years of age and meeting eligibility Criterion G for listing in the National Register Seven properties over fifty years of age were identified within the APE and were reviewed by HPO, NCDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). It was determined these properties are not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places A copy of the concurrence form is included in Appendix A The project will not affect any properties listed on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places 20 C. Section 4(f) Resources Section 4(f) of the U S Department of Transportation Act of 1966 specifies that publicly owned land from a public park, recreation area, wildlife and waterfowl refuge, or land of a historic site of national, state, or local significance may be used for federal projects only if there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use of the land and the project includes all possible planning to muumize harm to 4(f) lands resulting from such use No resources protected by Section 4(f) of the USDOT Act of 1966, as amended, were identified within the project area D. Community/Social Effects 1. Neighborhoods/Communities Residential development in the project area is predominantly located east of US 52 Piedmont Park is a public housing community in the project area that was built in the 1950s It is located north of 26 h Street, south of 29 h Street and east of US 52 Piedmont Park has approximately 240 residential housing units, a community building and a daycare facility The community is accessed from either 29`x' Street or 26 h Street The Northeast Winston neighborhood is located south of 20h Street and east of US 52 Most of the homes in the area were constructed prior to World War II The area from 21" Street to 26`h Street, US 52 to Bowen Park was certified as the Northeast Winston #3 Urban Redevelopment Area in October 1999 A small portion of this area, from US 52 to Cleveland Avenue, was certified as "blighted" Currently, there is not a redevelopment plan for this area A separate portion of the neighborhood, Northeast Winston #2, is currently part of a redevelopment project by the City This area is located south of Northeast Winston #3, between US 52 and Cleveland Avenue, and 21" Street and Bethlehem (formerly 19th Street) Some structures in the area have been acquired and cleared, new streets and homes will be constructed 2. Relocation of Homes and Businesses The proposed project will require the relocation of one business The relocation program for the project will be conducted in accordance with the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-646), and/or the North Carolina Relocation Assistance Act (GS-133-5 through 133- 18) The NCDOT relocation program is designed to provide assistance to displaced persons in relocating to a replacement site in which to live or do business Appendix B 21 contains additional information regarding NCDOT relocation programs and includes copies of the relocation reports prepared for the project 3. Minority/Low-income Populations Executive Order 12898 requires that each federal agency, to the greatest extent allowed by law, administer and implement its programs, policies, and activities that affect human health or the environment so as to identify and avoid "disproportionately high and adverse" effects on minority and low-income populations A citizens informational workshop was held on April 30, 2001 The workshop was advertised in local newspapers and newsletters were mailed to property owners along the project Information about the workshop was provided to staff of the Piedmont Park community center Transportation to the workshop was also made available on a request basis In addition to the workshop, numerous meetings were held with City staff and officials to discuss the proposed project The major concerns expressed included mamtauung access from Liberty Street to Piedmont Park and minimizing impacts to the neighborhood. With the proposed project, access from Liberty Street onto 30th Street will continue to be provided The recommended alternative (Alternative 3) also minimizes impacts to the Piedmont Park property Retaining the Liberty Street exit ramp (Alternatives 2 and 4) would require construction of a permanent retaining wall along the edge of the highway and Piedmont Park property The recommended alternative does not require this construction The proposed project will require the relocation of one business. This business is not minonty-owned Based on project studies, this project is being implemented in accordance with Executive Order 12898 E. Land Use 1. Existing Land Use and Zoning The project area is highly urbanized, surrounded by a mix of developments In the project area, residential development is primarily located on the east side of US 52. Generally, the area located south of East 31St Street and east of US 52 is zoned residential but vanes in density level A number of businesses, including convenience stores and an automobile parts store, are located along Liberty Street in the project area The area immediately surrounding Liberty Street, south of Cleveland Avenue/Indiana Avenue, is zoned general business. A Norfolk Southern Railroad switching yard is also located on the west side of 22 Liberty Street, north of US 52 Smith Reynolds Airport is located on the east side of Liberty Street, north of 30th Street The area encompassing both the rail yard and the airport is zoned general industrial The location of the rescue squad, near the intersection of 30a' Street and Liberty Street, is zoned institutional public 2. Future Land Use The current comprehensive plan, the Legacy Development Guide, is a general long-range guide for growth and development in Forsyth County and its eight municipalities The Legacy guide was adopted in 2001 Neither Forsyth County nor the City of Winston-Salem has any other official land use plans or maps The project area is shown within the Municipal Services Area on the Legacy's Growth Management Plan Map More specifically, the land use area is classified as the Urban Neighborhood Growth Management Area As outlined in the Legacy, the goals for this area include encouraging quality infill development, neighborhood and community services, historic preservation and rehabilitation and reuse of existing structures In addition to the Legacy plan, the US 52 Corridor Land Use and Transportation Plan makes recommendations for land use in the project area The plan focuses on the portion of US 52 from I-40 to the proposed location of the Northern Beltway near Rural Hall Road In the area of the bridge replacement, the Plan recommends shifting the US 52 alignment to the west of its current location and relocating Liberty Street to the east of US 52 Some of the land use types recommended are different than present zoning In the area of 26`h Street and Cleveland Avenue, mixed-use neighborhood land use is recommended The area north of 29 h Street, presently zoned residential, is recommended to change to industrial land use in order to accommodate the proposed Airport Business Park An Airport Business Park is proposed for the area south of Smith Reynolds Airport, north of 26 h Street and east of Liberty Street The site is approximately 65 acres The master plan for the proposed Business Park depicts 12 buildings on the site that could provide a total of 320,000 square feet of office, research, warehouse or commercial space Some changes in zoning may be required to accommodate the different uses proposed for the site The plan also shows 26a' Street serving as a collector street through the property. Site acquisition for the Business Park is currently underway (Infrastructure development will take place once a developer has been selected ) The Liberty Street Master Plan was adopted by the Board of Aldermen for the City of Winston Salem in July 1997 This plan includes recommendations for the Liberty Street Corridor in six vision areas transportation, economic development, land use and zoning, safety, design and appearance, and sense of community The subject project is considered to be located in the North and North Central segments of Liberty Street The recommended land use for these areas closely corresponds with existing uses Commercial and industrial uses are recommended in the vicinity of the airport Local 23 service businesses, such as hardware stores and automotive repair stores would continue in the areas south of 29th Street Other improvements recommended for these areas include sidewalks and pedestrian facilities, and vegetative screens and landscaping that would screen parking and storage areas and contribute to unifying the entire Liberty Street Corridor F. Smith Reynolds Airport As mentioned in Section II-A-10, the proposed project is located within the approach path for runway 4 of the Smith Reynolds Airport As part of the proposed project, US 52 will be raised in the vicinity of the new bridges in order to meet a 60 MPH design speed and vertical clearance requirements over the railroad It is anticipated the required FAA clearance will be met based on the approach slope (20 1) currently used for the runway However, the airport's master plan recommends permitting the use of a flatter approach slope (34 1) in the future Based on the current design, there are proposed roadway elevations within the project that will not meet the clearance requirements if the approach slope was lowered Lowering the proposed roadway is not feasible due to vertical clearance requirements over the railroad and the proposed design speed for the project Construction within the approach path of the runway requires additional coordination and approval from the FAA The Project Development and Environmental Analysis Branch (NCDOT) will ensure proper coordination takes place G. Prime and Important Farmland The Farmland Protection Policy Act of 1981 requires all federal agencies or their representatives to consider the impact of land acquisition and construction projects on prime and important farmland soils Land which has been previously developed or planned for development by the local governing body is exempt from the requirements of the Act. North Carolina Executive Order Number 96 requires all state agencies to consider the impact of land acquisition and construction projects on prune farmland soils, as designated by the US Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Land which is planned or zoned for urban development is not subject to the same level of preservation afforded other rural, agricultural areas Zoning in the project area includes residential, business and industrial. In addition, none of the soil types classified as prune farmland soils exist in the project area. 24 H. Flood Hazard Evaluation The City of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County are participants in the National Flood Insurance Regular Program There are no major stream crossings within the project limits; therefore, it is anticipated the proposed project will not adversely affect floodplains in the project area 1. Traffic Noise Analysis The subject project does not propose additional through lanes on US 52 or any change in speed limit Therefore, the project will not increase traffic volumes and the project's change in noise levels will not be significant However, due to the recommended closure of the Liberty Street exit ramp, trafficxatterns in the surrounding street network will change The proposed realignment of 26 Street with Cleveland Avenue moves the roadway away from the closer residences With the shift and with traffic speeds low in this type of urban setting, noise levels are not expected to significantly increase "No-build" traffic volumes for the year 2025 were compared with projected volumes for the same year based on the closure of the Liberty Street exit ramp (recommended improvements) Along Liberty Street, north of 28 h Street/Indiana Avenue, the volumes increased approximately 8 8 percent On Akron Drive, just east of the US 52 northbound exit ramp, traffic volumes are projected to increase approximately 8 3 percent If traffic were to double on the existing street network, noise levels would only increase approximately 3 dBA When real-life noises are heard, it is barely possible to detect noise level changes of 2 to 3 dBA Therefore, noise levels are not expected to significantly increase along Liberty Street or Akron Drive as a result of the proposed ramp closure It is anticipated the project's impact on the noise environment in the project area will not be significant J. Air Ouality Analysis The project is located within Forsyth County, which is within the Greensboro- Winston-Salem-High Point nonattainment area for ozone (03) and the Winston-Salem nonattainment area for carbon monoxide (CO) as defined by the EPA The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) designated these areas as "moderate" nonattamment areas for 03 and CO However, due to unproved monitoring data, these areas were redesignated as "maintenance" for 03 on November 7, 1993 and for CO on November 8, 1994 Section 176(c) of the CAAA requires that transportation plans, programs and projects conform to the intent of the state air quality implementation plan (SIP) The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Urban Area 2025 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the 2002-2008 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) have been determined to conform to the intent of the SIP The USDOT air quality 25 conformity approval of the LRTP and the MTIP was May 28, 2002 The current conformity determination is consistent with the final conformity rule found in 40 CFR Parts 51 and 93 There have been no significant changes in the project's design concept or scope, as used in the confonmty analyses The Liberty Street and Indiana Avenue intersection was selected to analyze air quality impacts of the proposed project The "worst-case" predicted 1-hour CO concentrations for the evaluation build years of 2005, 2010 and 2025 are 6 1, 6 1 and 6 5 ppm, respectively. Comparison to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) indicates no violation of these standards Hence, the project's impact on air quality will not be significant If vegetation is disposed of by burning, all burning shall be done in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations of the North Carolina SIP for air quality in compliance with 15 NCAC 2D 0520 K. Hazardous Materials A database search was conducted to identify potential sites containing hazardous material within the project area The search did not reveal any regulated landfills or CERCLA sites in the area of proposed improvements The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) database identified several sites within the project area that generate hazardous waste as defined by the Act Information about these sites is listed in the following table Table 7 RCRA Sites Site Address Arm Reserve AMSA 120 G 3301-1 N Glenn Avenue Trader Publishing Winston PLT 3001 N Liberty Street Winston Body Repairs, Inc 2610 N. Liberty Street A search for underground storage tanks (USTs) was also included in the database review The following table lists both regulated USTs in the project area, as well as, reported leaking UST incidents tracked by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources 26 Table 8 UST sites Site Address Brenner Iron & Metal - Waste Management* 3301 Glenn Avenue Norfolk and Western Railway Com an* 3000 Liberty Street Davco Co oration* 3001 Liberty Street Kin Property, James and Bessie* 2713 Liberty Street Waste Management of the Piedmont 3303 N Glenn Avenue Waste Management 3301 Glenn Avenue Suburban Propane Just north of the intersection of Liberty Street and 30th Street Liberty North Fire Station 2995 N Liberty Street RJR Flight Operations 2901 N Liberty Street Flynn Amoco Service (now Dick Kelly's Trucks 2821 N Liberty Street Kns 's Food Mart 2609 N Liberty Street Brenner Iron & Metal Com an 3415 Glenn Avenue *Reported leaking UST incidents at site The Hazardous Substance Disposal (HSDS) list contains locations of uncontrolled and unregulated hazardous waste sites The database search listed one site, IMC, within the project area In addition to this database search, the NCDOT Geotechmcal Unit performed a field reconnaissance survey for the project area Two other sites were identified as possible UST sites The first site is a vacant lot located in the northeast comer of the intersection of 25'' Street and Liberty Street Existing concrete pads may have been former pump islands The property does not appear to be under remediation A sign on the property indicates that a gas station is planned for the location Liberty Street Sports Bar is located on the east side of Liberty Street, dust north of Dick Kelly's Trucks The history of the business is unknown, but the building resembles a gas station The property does not appear to be under remediation at this time The proposed project will acquire right of way along the east side of Liberty Street, north of Indiana Avenue and along both sides of US 52 A detailed investigation will be performed prior to right of way acquisition 27 L. Geodetic Survey Markers If it is determined the project will impact any geodetic survey markers in the area, the NC Geodetic Survey will be contacted prior to construction in order to allow resetting of monuments M. Indirect/Cumulative Effects Permanently removing the Liberty Street exit ramp results in a slightly more circuitous route for northbound Liberty Street traffic However, with the close proximity of the 25`h Street/28t' Street exit ramp to the area, it is unlikely that trips into and out of the surrounding neighborhoods will be significantly impacted It is anticipated the removal of the exit ramp will result in increased traffic volumes in the 25th Street/28`h Street ramp area and at the Akron Drive exit On US 52, volumes increased north of the (removed) Liberty Street exit However, north of the Akron Drive exit, volumes along US 52 remained essentially the same with and without the Liberty Street exit Comparing the "no-build" and the recommended "build" alternative, it appears that traffic volumes are shifting to other exit ramps in the area, but are not changing significantly along US 52 Based on the urban landscape in the project area, it is unlikely that the proposed project will result in changes in existing land use VI. COMMENTS AND COORDINATION A. Citizens Informational Workshop A citizens informational workshop for the project was held on April 30, 2001 The workshop was advertised in local newspapers and newsletters were mailed to property owners along the project Transportation to the workshop was made available on a request basis Aerial photographs showing the two temporary detour alternatives and the two ramp closure alternatives (see Section IV-B) were displayed at the meeting. Informational handouts were made available to workshop participants Twenty-three persons registered at the meeting Two written comments were received; both recommended closing the Liberty Street/Airport exit ramp Three point workshops were held for this project and Projects U-2826B and U-2925 on October 20 and 21, 2003 A total of approximately 60 persons attended these three meetings A few attendees expressed concern about the closing of the Liberty Street exit ramp and its unpact on trucking industries located along north Liberty Street A few people expressed their support for closing the exit ramp. 28 B. Public Hearin A public hearing will be held following approval of this document The public hearing will allow the public to view more detailed information than previously available at the citizens informational workshop and will provide a forum for public comments C. Agency Coordination Comments regarding the proposed project were requested from various federal, state and local agencies Copies of the comments received are included in Appendix A An asterisk indicates comments were received from that agency U S Department of the Army - Corps of Engineers U S Department of the Interior - Fish and Wildlife Service *N C Department of Cultural Resources N C Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Recreation *N C Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality N C Department of Public Instruction - School Planning *N C Wildlife Resources Commission Forsyth County *City of Winston-Salem *Norfolk Southern Railroad Corporation VII. BASIS FOR CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION Based on the studies performed for the proposed project, it is concluded the project will not result in significant social, economic, or environmental impacts, and the categorical exclusion classification, as defined in 40 CFR 1508.4 and 23 CFR 771 117, is appropriate 29 ??r{ 5 K-11,H,j 0New ,jJ?Tt I Crrel Sunleyvdk Be hems i41Ytric F H E tn• Ptsltt 7 ; ?? e Pclin $ d 762 oba' a a pw2e•w, ?eie a rev a ,Y 2204 r *tr use a t2ee . ? ? ? mrth Reynolds /UrporC ?

U -_2826A Dear Mr Gilmore Let me again thank you for allowing us to participate in the discussions leading up to a decision regarding the bridge replacements and ramp closure on US 52 at Liberty Street I had previously noted some concerns regarding this project, and the fact that a mayor redevelopment project had not been considered as part of the State's study We recently held a follow-up meeting with your staff and the critical elements of the redevelopment project had been incorporated into the revised study Under this proposal, two alternatives were identified for ramp closure to address weaving problems in the area Alternative 1 recommended removing the Liberty Street off-ramp and Alternative 2 recommended removing the 28'hStreet on-ramp Given bofficilternatl v cs V e, -.d pins and coati; alid the long-lei n implications of '[11 . dewsicn, we felt that additional discussion was necessary at the local level We now have had additional discussion and reached a consensus regarding an acceptable alternative While from a development standpoint, Alternative 2 would be the preferred alternative, we also recognize the critical factors that make Alternative 1 more feasible from the State's viewpoint This being the case, the City is willing to accept Alternative 1 given the following stipulations 1) Installation of a signal at the intersection of 28'h Street/Indiana Avenue and the US 52 on- ramp/off-ramp 2) Addition of an additional northbound lane on Liberty Street north of 28" Street/Indiana Avenue 3) Adequate directional signage and lighting in the area including pedestrian lighting along 28`h Street/Indiana Avenue and Liberty Street between 28`h Street/Indiana Avenue and 30`h Street 4) Realignment of 26`h Street with the US 52 on-ramp/off-ramp 5) Improvement of the pedestrian treatments at the intersections of 25`h Street/Liberty Street and 28`h Street/Indiana Avenue/Liberty Street including crosswalks, pedestrian traffic signals, and sidewalks on Liberty Street between 286 -Street/Indiana Avenue and 30`h Street 6) Noise reduction treatment for the residential properties located in the area bound by US 52 on the west, 25`h Street on the south, and Indiana Avenue on the north and east 7) Installation of a traffic signal at 30`h Street and Liberty Street, if warranted 8) Improvements at the intersection of Liberty Street and Indiana Avenue to enhance visibility through the intersection 9) Elimination of the loop from the US 52 northbound exit to 250 Street In addition to these items, most of which were discussed during our August 29, 2001 meeting with Ms Alethia Raynor and other NCDOT representatives, the State should also contact the three property owners for the residents in #6 above to ascertain their interest in selling these properties If a consensus is reached among these individuals, these properties should be acquired and the noise treatments should be foregone At that time, Ms Raynor advised that all of these items discussed appeared reasonable and acceptable requests which could be incorporated into the project at the State's expense Upon your review of this information, please advise if your opinion on any of these requests differs from Ms Raynor's I am available to further discuss this matter and may be reached at 336-727-8040 regarding any questions, comments, or concerns Sincerely, Derwick L Paige Development Director cc Alderman Vivian Burke Alderman Joycelyn Johnson Bryce A Stuart, City Manager Tom Griffin, Assistant City Manager/Public Works Greg Turner, Department of Transportation Director Paul Norby, City-County Planning Director Pat Ivey, NCDOT Division Nine Edwin Cox, Smith Reynolds Airport Director CITY OF WINSTON-SALEM DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ( PO BOX 2511 -

U-2826A Dear Mr Gilmore First, let me thank you for the opportunity to attend the formal briefing session recently held at City Hall South to discuss the US 52 Bridge Replacements over Liberty Street I see this project as having a tremendous impact on the future development of this area, hence, it is imperative that I repeat the concerns that I previously raised Enclosed you will find the NCDOT Comment Sheet as well as other documentation regarding the ongoing redevelopment efforts in the area As you will see from this information, the City of Winston-Salem is truly committed to the revitalization of the Liberty Street corridor and surrounding areas Through the various redevelopment programs, more than $10 6 million City and federal funds already have been allocated to the revitalization of the corridor Much of this effort centers around Smith Reynolds Airport I believe that to eliminate direct interstate access to this facility and the surrounding area would have a detrimental effect on these efforts But, it is just not the City that is seeking to revitalize this area, it is the entire community Forsyth County currently is constructing a new General Maintenance Facility along Liberty Street This facility will generate hundreds of new trips per day In addition, their future plans envision the construction of a new vehicle maintenance facility on Liberty Street Besides the public investment occurring in the area, the private and non-profit sectors also are actively involved in revitalizmg the area In the last six (6) months, four (4) businesses between the 2900 block of North Liberty Street and the 3300 block of North Liberty Street have participated in the City's Building Improvement Program Participation in this program requires a significant matching investment and commitment by these small business owners Two community-based, non-profit organizations, Pangaea Development Corporation and Northeast Winston Development r, r Corporation, also are actively involved in the redevelopment efforts of the corridor All of these organizations could be adversely affected by the NCDOT decision Upon your review of this information, I hope that you will give careful consideration to these concerns prior to making your final decision regarding the temporary and permanent closure of the Liberty Street ramp I am available to further discuss this matter and maybe reached at 336-727- 8040 regarding any questions, comments, or concerns Sincerely, il"rL ?"I. 9 Derwick L Paige Development Director cc Alderman Vivian Burke Alderman Joycelyn Johnson Alderman Robert Northington Bryce A Stuart, City Manager Graham Pervner, County Manager Brent McKinney, Department of Transportation Director Paul Norby, City-County Planning Director Edwin Cox, Smith Reynolds Airport Director enclosures DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS RELOCATION PROGRAMS It is the policy of NCDOT to ensure comparable replacement housing will be available prior to construction of state and federally-assisted projects Furthermore, the North Carolina Board of Transportation has the following three programs to minimize the inconvenience of relocation • Relocation Assistance • Relocation Moving Payments • Relocation Replacement Housing Payments or Rent Supplement As part of the Relocation Assistance Program, experienced NCDOT staff will be available to assist displacees with information such as availability and prices of homes, apartments, or businesses for sale or rent and financing or other housing programs The Relocation Moving Payments Program, in general, provides for payment of actual moving expenses encountered in relocation Where displacement will force an owner or tenant to purchase or rent property of higher cost or to lose a favorable financing arrangement (in case of ownership), the Relocation Replacement Housing Payments or Rent Supplement Program will compensate up to $22,500 to owners who are eligible and qualify and up to $5,250 to tenants who are eligible and qualify The relocation program for the proposed action will be conducted in accordance with the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-646), and/or the North Carolina Relocation Assistance Act (GS-133-5 through 133-18) The program is designed to provide assistance to displaced persons in relocating to a replacement site in which to live or do business At least one relocation officer is assigned to each highway project for this purpose The relocation officer will determine the needs of displaced families, individuals, businesses, non-profit organizations, and farm operations for relocation assistance advisory services without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin The NCDOT will schedule its work to allow ample time, prior to displacement, for negotiations and possession of replacement housing which meets decent, safe, and sanitary standards The displacees are given at least a 90-day written notice after NCDOT purchases the property Relocation of displaced persons will be offered in areas not generally less desirable in regard to public utilities and commercial facilities Rent and sale prices of replacement property will be within the financial means of the families and individuals displaced and will be reasonably accessible to their places of employment The relocation officer will also assist owners of displaced businesses, non- profit organizations, and farm operations in searching for and moving to replacement property All tenant and owner residential occupants who may be displaced will receive an explanation regarding all available options, such as (1) purchase of replacement housing, (2) rental of replacement housing, either private or public, or (3) moving existing owner- occupant housing to another site (if possible) The relocation officer will also supply information concerning other state and federal programs offering assistance to displaced persons and will provide other advisory services as needed in order to minimize hardships to displaced persons in adjusting to a new location The Moving Expense Payments Program is designed to compensate the displacee for the costs of moving personal property from homes, businesses, non-profit organizations, and farm operations acquired for a highway project Under the Replacement Program for Owners, NCDOT will participate in reasonable incidental purchase payments for replacement dwellings such as attorney's fees, surveys, appraisals, and other closing costs and, if applicable, make a payment for any increased interest expenses for replacement dwellings Reimbursement to owner-occupants for replacement housing payments, increased interest payments, and incidental purchase expenses may not exceed $22,500 (combined total), except under the Last Resort Housing provision A displaced tenant may be eligible to receive a payment, not to exceed $5,250, to rent a replacement dwelling or to make a down payment, including incidental expenses, on the purchase of a replacement dwelling The down payment is based upon what the state determines is required when the rent supplement exceeds $5,250. It is a policy of the state that no person will be displaced by the NCDOT's state of federally-assisted construction projects unless and until comparable replacement housing has been offered or provided for each displacee within a reasonable period of tune prior to displacement. No relocation payment received will be considered as income for the purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 or for the purposes of determu ing eligibility or the extent of eligibility of any person for assistance under the Social Security Act or any other federal law Last Resort Housing is a program used when comparable replacement housing is not available, or when it is unavailable within the displacee's financial means, and the replacement payment exceeds the federal/state legal limitation. The purpose of the program is to allow broad latitudes in methods of implementation by the state so that decent, safe, and sanitary replacement housing can be provided It is not felt that this program will be necessary on the project, since there appear to be adequate opportunities for relocation within the area.
