AN - 1700329682; 16308 AB - PURPOSE: The San Francisco Housing for People Everywhere (HOPE) SF program has identified the need for redevelopment of the Potrero housing developments and has included it as a part of its program to revitalize distressed public housing developments in San Francisco. The Project site is comprised of two of the oldest public housing developments in San Francisco, Potrero Terrace and Potrero Annex, and contains 620 residences 3 that are in various stages of physical decay. Together, these public housing developments house a population of approximately 1,280 people, a Family Resource Center, and a child care center. In addition to distressed and deteriorated housing, the development contains dead-end streets and steep topography that isolate residents from the surrounding Potrero Hill neighborhood. The Proposed Project would replace the deteriorated existing housing units and provide new infrastructure and other site improvements. Objectives are important for the selection and consideration of alternatives under CEQA and NEPA. To meet this general goal, HOPE SF has identified the following project objectives: implement the Citys HOPE SF Initiative and the Showplace Square/Potrero Area Plan; create an economically integrated neighborhood with new public housing units, affordable rental apartments, and market rate and/or rental homes; establish physical and social connections between the Potrero Terrace and Annex Project site and the larger Potrero Hill neighborhood; provide employment opportunities for current public housing residents; provide community facilities, including space for on-site services and programs; create a comprehensive services plan to address gaps in services and facilitate access to existing programs and resources; build a new 24th Street neighborhood center with a community center, senior housing, and a park; build new safe streets and open spaces; develop as much housing as possible and feasible in buildings that would range from three to six stories tall; provide space for community-serving retail stores; create a financially feasible plan for redevelopment within the constraint of limited availability of public subsidies; and incorporate green and healthy development principles that include: green construction and healthy buildings, a walkable neighborhood, storm water management, and meet requirements for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design-Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND).

This broadly defined, but often misunderstood designation has exerted a negative and unintended effect on low-income neighborhoods-the same neighborhoods NCLB was originally intended to help. Specifically, we find that 'failing' designations significantly decrease home prices. This property value response is observed even after controlling for a myriad of traditional test score measures and school-level student demographics. Additional analyses suggest that this home price effect is largely due to strong perceptions of poor school quality or social stigma surrounding a 'failing' designation.

AN - 16373226; 16144 AB - PURPOSE: Commuter rail improvements in the Southwest-to-Northeast Rail (TEX Rail) Corridor serving the cities of Fort Worth, Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Colleyville, and Grapevine in Tarrant County, Texas is proposed. Sustained residential growth and expanding employment opportunities within the Corridor have resulted in increasing travel demand along major roadways. Existing and committed roadway improvements cannot keep pace with increases in traffic volumes on major roadways, resulting in steadily increasing congestion and air pollutant levels that exceed federal standards; the Corridor lies within a non-attainment area for eight-hour ozone levels. Access to Dallas-Fort Worth Airport (DFWA) and major activity centers beyond the Fort Worth Transportation Authority's service area is limited due to lack of transit service. Three alternatives, including the commuter rail Alternative, an Alternative involving baseline transportation infrastructure combined with transportation system management, and a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed commuter rail Alternative would operate on portions of the Cotton Belt railroad lines owned by the Fort Worth and Western Railroad, Union Pacific, and Dallas Area Rapid Transit. The commuter rail line would extend from southwest Fort Worth at a point near Sycamore School Road, through downtown Fort Worth, Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Colleyville, and Grapevine to the northern entrance of DFWA. The 37-mile system would be served by stations at the following 15 locations: Sycamore School Road, Interstate 20/Granbury Road, Texas Christian University/Berry, the Medical District, the existing Texas and Pacific Railroad terminal, the existing Fort Worth Intermodal Transportation Center, North Side, Beach Street, Haltom City/US 377, North Richland Hills-Iron Horse, North Richland Hills-Smithfield, Colleyville-John McCain, Grapevine-Main Street, DFWA-North, and DFWA-Terminal A/B. A new bridge would carry the rail line across the Trinity River. This commuter trains would run on an at-grade, single-track line shared with freight trains for nearly the entire route. Diesel multiple-unit technology would be the likely vehicle choice for the commuter rail Alternative. Once operational, the trains would run at 20-minute intervals during the peak morning and evening hours and at 60-minute intervals during midday hours and post-peak evening hours. Capital cost estimates for the commuter rail Alternative range from $502.3 million to $531.3 million in 2008 dollars. Annual operating and maintenance costs are estimated to range from $80.8 million to $81.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The commuter rail Alternative would provide multimodal solutions for mobility in the Corridor that would mitigate congestion and improve air quality. Improved mobility among regional activity centers would ease commuting and boost the local economy. Construction activities would employ 4,090 workers and result in the creation of 2,860 indirect jobs. Seventy percent of the population within one mile of the Corridor are minority group members, who would benefit from improved access without suffering disproportionately from the rail line's adverse impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Station development would require the displacement of three residences and 21 to 24 businesses as well as 61 acres of woodlands that could provide habitat to nine federally protected species. The rail alignment lies within a 100-year floodplain at 18 locations, and the project would affect seven wetlands, though less than 0.5 acre of wetland would be lost. The viewscapes related to certain historic sites would be significantly altered by rail infrastructure. Train-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 372 residences and moderate increases in noise would affect 667 residences. Construction workers could encounter hazardous waste sites.

AN - 16381022; 16352 AB - PURPOSE: The project sponsor is the Sunnydale Development Co., LLC. Sunnydale Development Co., LLC comprises co-developers Mercy Housing California and The Related Companies of California. Under the proposed project, the project sponsor would demolish the existing buildings, including all 785 family and senior dwelling units, at the Sunnydale and Velasco public housing complexes, and build replacement and new housing, new infrastructure, open space and community amenities. Highlights of the plan include: up to 1,700 units of housing, including one-for-one public housing replacement units, affordable rental units and market rate and affordable for-sale units; up to 72,500 square feet of community service, recreational and educational facilities; 11.5 acres of new parks and open spaces, including a community garden, a farmers market pavilion and secure outdoor courtyards within residential buildings; 12.2 acres of a new and reconfigured street network potentially including green features including bioswales and landscaping; and up to 16,200 square feet of neighborhood-serving retail; and the project sponsor intends to construct the project to LEEDRG (Leadership in Energy Efficient Design) ND (Neighborhood Development) standards. The project sponsor proposes to demolish and replace the existing 94 two-story residential buildings within the Sunnydale and Velasco public housing development with approximately 34 new two- to five-story development blocks. The completed project would occupy approximately 2,843,500 square feet of floor area for a net increase of 2,049,000 square feet. The height of the new buildings would range from 40 to 60 feet above ground level, with 18 buildings at 40 feet or less in height and 15 buildings at 50 feet in height, and one building at 60 feet in height. Thirty-three of the buildings would contain family dwelling units; the single building at 60 feet in height would contain senior housing and would have some retail and community services on the ground floor. The buildings would be a mix of the following: townhouse/RowhouseAttached, multistory, single-family homes (15 to 30 units per acre); Stacked FlatsOne-story apartments arranged one over the other (25 to 40 units per acre); Podium BuildingA building with a parking garage below and residences or other uses above (40 to 50 units per acre); Corridor BuildingAn apartment building with units accessed from a central corridor (40 to 60 units per acre); Mixed UseRetail or public use on ground floor with senior housing above (50 to 80 units per acre); and up to 72,500 square feet of community-serving space in several locations, including a separate two-story community center, which would house recreational facilities for use by project residents and residents of the neighborhood, with youth and early childhood education programs. The project would be built in three major phases over a period of 9 to 15 years. During each phase, the existing buildings, streets, and utilities would be demolished first, and rough grading of the streets, building pads and open space would occur. The project would require about 221,000 cubic yards of soil to be hauled off the site. Maximum excavation, however would be 45 feet (13.5 meters) below the current ground surface. The project sponsor proposes realigning Sunnydale, Brookdale and Blythedale Avenues and Santos Street and adding new cross streets to create a street grid that would improve connectivity and access within the development and to Hahn Street. Brookdale Avenue would be realigned to connect with Sunnydale Avenue; new cross streets would connect Blythedale Avenue to Sunnydale Avenue at three different locations; Blythedale Avenue would be realigned at Hahn Street to connect with Sunrise Way; and a pair of new streets would link Blythedale Avenue and Hahn Street one block north of Sunrise Way. The project site currently contains 430 off-street surface parking spaces (0.55 spaces per dwelling unit) and 452 on-street parking spaces. The proposed project would provide approximately 1,437 off-street parking spaces (0.85 spaces per dwelling unit) in underground and at-grade parking garages in mixed-use and residential buildings, and 525 on-street parking spaces.

We assemble an index of community development need from a variety of demographic and economic indicators which capture the components of need that can be addressed directly by the CDBG program based on its statutory objectives. We use this index to estimate the relation between funding levels and community development need and how this relation has changed over time. In particular, we assess the effectiveness of targeting by examining the horizontal and vertical equity of the formula. Results suggest that the relation between the formula data inputs and community development need has deteriorated over the past two decades. The present formula is shown to underfund Formula A grantees conditional on need and to overfund a select number of high-income, slow-growth, older communities. Finally, we consider several alternative formula specifications, which we evaluate against the community development needs index.

AN - 16379911; 15743 AB - PURPOSE: The rezoning of Halletts Point, a stretch of industrial land along the East River in the Borough of Queens, City of New York, New York is proposed. Halletts A Development Company, LLC is requesting discretionary approvals that will facilitate a mixed-use development on several parcels on the peninsula. The project site includes the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) Astoria Houses Campus, a development of 1,103 units that are protected from rent increases. Existing tax lots contain eight building sites on which new development would occur with the proposed project. Seven of the building sites would be developed as part of the applicant's proposal and one would be developed as part of a future request for proposals by the NYCHA. In total, eight buildings would be developed on the project site: Building 1 would be located on the block bounded by 27th Avenue to the south, 1st Street to the west, 26th Avenue to the north, and 2nd Street to the east; Buildings 2 through 5, including the mapped streetbeds of 26th and 27th Avenues between 1st Street and the East River, would be bounded by Halletts Point Playground to the south, the East River to the west, Whitey Ford Field to the north, and 1st Street to the east; Buildings 6 through 8 would be located within the existing NYCHA Astoria Houses Campus bounded by 27th Avenue, 1st Street, and 8th Street. The applicant has proposed the creation of a large-scale general development (LSGD) plan that would include Buildings 1 through 5 and the Astoria Houses Campus (including Buildings 6 through 8). The creation of the LSGD would be facilitated by the jurisdictional transfer of a 10-foot-wide strip of parkland of Halletts Point Playground from the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation to NYCHA. The development of Buildings 6, 7, and 8 would be facilitated by the disposition of NYCHA property, which is subject to Section 18 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 and approval by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, an alternative with no unmitigated significant adverse impacts, and a reduced density alternative. The proposed project would be built continuously over time; it is expected that full build out would be complete by 2022. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would transform a largely underused waterfront area into a new, enlivened mixed-use development. New housing would support the citys plans to provide additional capacity for residential development, especially affordable housing; and neighborhood retail would provide amenities that are currently lacking in the area. The proposed project would also establish a publicly accessible waterfront esplanade with upland connections and a connection to Halletts Point Playground south of the site and Whitey Ford Field north of the site. This open space would provide benefits for the Astoria community, the Borough of Queens, and the city as a whole. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would cause inconvenience and disruption throughout the Halletts Point LSGD plan area over the course of approximately nine years. Two existing industrial uses would be displaced by the proposed project. Traffic capacity improvements would be needed to mitigate significant impacts at up to 20 intersections. Sequential development could result in a significant adverse impact on elementary schools and publicly funded child care facilities. The proposed buildings would result in new shadows on several nearby open spaces, including Hallets Cove Esplanade, Halletts Point Playground, Whitey Ford Field, and the NYCHA Astoria Houses Campus open spaces, as well as on the East River. However, vegetation in all affected areas would continue to receive a minimum of four hours of direct sunlight throughout the growing season. LEGAL MANDATES: Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437).

Despite recent changes in the law, there remains an open debate regarding the extent to which prospective estates comprise assets that have been taxed previously. Using wealth data on US households, this study forecasts changes in household wealth in the coming decade and calculates the importance of untaxed wealth in bequeathed estates.

The White House, through the Strong Cities, Strong Communities (SC2) initiative, is also seeking to create cross-agency collaborations "to strengthen neighborhoods, towns, cities, and regions around the country by enhancing the capacity of local governments to develop and execute their economic vision and strategies, providing necessary technical assistance and access to federal agency expertise, and creating new public and private sector partnerships." The term anchor institution refers to long-standing and deeply rooted community organizations that often are the largest contributors to their communities' continued economic stability and strength. Any large enterprise or organization--hospitals, churches, nonprofits, housing cooperatives--that brings together economic and financial assets, human resources, and physical structures, and has an established presence in the community can act as an anchor institution. Institutions of higher education (IHEs) are especially well-placed to lead in communities and develop partnerships with other anchor institutions, for many reasons. IHEs are deeply rooted into their communities and can contribute to a sense of neighborhood identity. The symbiotic relationship that IHEs share with their communities gives ample incentive for them to invest in improvements from which both parties will inevitably benefit. This publication analyzes the positive impact that institutions of higher education can have in stabilizing and improving the nation's struggling communities.

HUD's Office of University Partnerships (OUP) has fostered these partnerships by investing funds in institutions of higher education (IHEs), which use these grants to secure additional funding and tackle difficult community and economic development issues. OUP also funds IHE research and service learning that empowers future leaders. This recently released report, highlights successful partnerships and outcomes that OUP grants have made possible. The report also discusses how OUP will improve efficiency in communicating with grantees and continue to be a valuable resource for IHEs and communities despite funding reductions. Throughout OUP's 18 years of service, it has been honored to lead the way in HUD's ongoing efforts to galvanize durable, effective campus-community partnerships. By solidifying community connections to institutions best able to anchor them against the tumult of challenging times, the Office has helped facilitate significant and measurable improvements in the lives of thousands of Americans, including many residing in some of the most vulnerable and overlooked locations.

HUD already had a long history, through its Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R), of seeking out reliable and objective data and analysis to inform its key policy decisions. Aligning one of OUP's goals with this mission would allow HUD a more active role in increasing the number of housing and community development specialists who would continue to perform this valuable and innovative research. To this end, OUP launched the Doctoral Dissertation Research Grant (DDRG) program as one of its two original funding opportunities. The program's purpose was twofold: (1) Enable doctoral candidates to complete their research and dissertations on policy-relevant housing and urban development issues; and (2) Fund research studies that may impact federal problem solving and policy making and that are relevant to HUD's policy priorities and annual goals and objectives. This publication analyzes some of the many positive impacts that Doctoral Dissertation Research Grant recipients continue to make in the housing- and urban development-related fields of research. Highlighted are some of the sectors in which these grantees are making the greatest contributions, along with showcasing a sample of the work being done by this dedicated group of grantees.

There are three specific objectives: (a) to review previous research on the complexity of urbanization and explain how the spatial hazard framework accommodates that complexity; (b); to estimate a series of spatial hazard models characterizing land use in the twenty-five highest growth core-based statistical areas (CBSAs) of the United States in 1990, 2000, and 2006; and (c) to use the estimation results to track land use change region-by-region over the 16-year time frame. Overall, the analysis reveals that the spatial hazard framework offers a highly effective means of describing land use change. Along the way, it also illustrates that the classic model of urbanization continues to hold in an evermore-complex world - albeit, in an explicitly uncertain and inherently probabilistic manner.

This report offers both a specific design of a countercyclical capital regime and presents an empirical examination of how it might have worked had it been applicable to Fannie Mae's book of fixed-rate 30-year loans acquired during the period 2003-2010 -- the bulk of their credit exposure during that period.

The basic problem is that the "tier" to which a given home truly belongs is unobservable and can vary over time. Various approaches to forming tiered indexes, including the methodology used in the formation of S&P/Case-Shiller tiered indexes, are analyzed. Empirical comparisons of price trends in California as a whole and two California metropolitan areas -- San Francisco and San Diego -- are shown with indexes constructed under various tier-classification schemes.

[Part 8 of 8] T2 - ALICE GRIFFITH REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. AN - 963635890; 15186-0_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The approval of funding and development agreements for the redevelopment of the Alice Griffith public housing site (Alice Griffith) in the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood of San Francisco, California is proposed. The 33 two-story structures which comprise the public housing development are distressed and deteriorated. Additionally, Alice Griffith is physically isolated from the surrounding community, as there is only one access point to the off-site street network, and there are few neighborhood-serving retail and quality recreational uses. The 34-acre project site is bounded by Gilman Avenue on the south, Hawes Street on the west, Carroll Avenue on the north, and Arelious Walker Drive on the east, with a rectangular extension to the south along Giants Drive that includes a portion of the Candlestick Park stadium parking area. The project site includes: 1) the property containing Alice Griffith owned by the San Francisco Housing Authority (SFHA); 2) an adjacent property to the east controlled by the California Department of Parks and Recreation and State Lands Commission; 3) an adjacent property to the east owned by SFRA; and 4) an adjacent property to the south owned by the city through the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative D), are evaluated in this draft EIS. Alternative A is the proposed action and would include development of a residential neighborhood and associated infrastructure on the project site. Properties would undergo land transfer prior to development, which would result in land retained by SFHA for reconfigured affordable housing and by the developer for the remainder. The residential development would include one-for-one replacement of the existing 256 public housing units, plus 954 market-rate and below market-rate sale and rental units. The proposed action would be constructed in phases to avoid displacement of existing residents. Space would be provided on the ground floor for community-serving retail and service facilities in the housing complex. The proposed action also would include an early learning child development center and a new 1.4-acre park, consisting of community gardens, sports facilities, picnic areas and other recreational amenities. Alternative B would include only the replacement of the existing public housing units on a one-to-one basis, with no mixed-income housing. Alternative C would involve reduced development of up to 875 dwelling units including one-for-one replacement of the 256 public housing units and 619 new market-rate and below-market-rate units. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed redevelopment would address the physical decay of Alice Griffith public housing and its isolation from the surrounding community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed action would contribute a cumulatively considerable amount of traffic to the intersection of Third Street and Carroll Avenue. Construction crews would encounter hazardous materials, including asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, mercury and lead-based paint.

The proposed action also would include an early learning child development center and a new 1.4-acre park, consisting of community gardens, sports facilities, picnic areas and other recreational amenities. Alternative B would include only the replacement of the existing public housing units on a one-to-one basis, with no mixed-income housing. Alternative C would involve reduced development of up to 875 dwelling units including one-for-one replacement of the 256 public housing units and 619 new market-rate and below-market-rate units. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed redevelopment would address the physical decay of Alice Griffith public housing and its isolation from the surrounding community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed action would contribute a cumulatively considerable amount of traffic to the intersection of Third Street and Carroll Avenue. Construction crews would encounter hazardous materials, including asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, mercury and lead-based paint.

[Part 5 of 8] T2 - ALICE GRIFFITH REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. AN - 963635860; 15186-0_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The approval of funding and development agreements for the redevelopment of the Alice Griffith public housing site (Alice Griffith) in the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood of San Francisco, California is proposed. The 33 two-story structures which comprise the public housing development are distressed and deteriorated. Additionally, Alice Griffith is physically isolated from the surrounding community, as there is only one access point to the off-site street network, and there are few neighborhood-serving retail and quality recreational uses. The 34-acre project site is bounded by Gilman Avenue on the south, Hawes Street on the west, Carroll Avenue on the north, and Arelious Walker Drive on the east, with a rectangular extension to the south along Giants Drive that includes a portion of the Candlestick Park stadium parking area. The project site includes: 1) the property containing Alice Griffith owned by the San Francisco Housing Authority (SFHA); 2) an adjacent property to the east controlled by the California Department of Parks and Recreation and State Lands Commission; 3) an adjacent property to the east owned by SFRA; and 4) an adjacent property to the south owned by the city through the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative D), are evaluated in this draft EIS. Alternative A is the proposed action and would include development of a residential neighborhood and associated infrastructure on the project site. Properties would undergo land transfer prior to development, which would result in land retained by SFHA for reconfigured affordable housing and by the developer for the remainder. The residential development would include one-for-one replacement of the existing 256 public housing units, plus 954 market-rate and below market-rate sale and rental units. The proposed action would be constructed in phases to avoid displacement of existing residents. Space would be provided on the ground floor for community-serving retail and service facilities in the housing complex.

A documentary review and interviews with the principals at national grant and policy-making organizations are undertaken to deconstruct this outcome measurement impasse. Basic criteria for an analytical framework to measure community development outcomes are suggested both to clarify the current institutional mindset and suggest an alternative approach. Available empirical data from practitioner interviews and existing social theory provide the basis for a conceptual understanding and an analytical framework to guide the systematic evaluation of community development initiatives.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - WEST COAST RECYCLING GROUP METAL RECYCLING FACILITY PROJECT, PORT OF WEST SACRAMENTO, YOLO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 884841534; 14982-2_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a scrap metal shredding and recycling facility at the Port of West Sacramento (Port), Yolo County, California is proposed. West Coast Recycling Group LLC is seeking a conditional use permit from the City of West Sacramento and a ground lease from the Port to construct and operate the facility on 15 acres of vacant industrial land located at 3125 Industrial Boulevard. The City has applied to the Community Development Block Grant program funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development for a grant to fund the design and construction of a new entrance to the Port on the south side of Industrial Boulevard, west of the Ports current main entrance and east of Beacon Drive. The new entrance would act as the vehicle access point for the project. Facility operations would include sorting and shredding scrap metal, separating and processing materials to extract usable material, and stabilizing nonmetallic material for disposal or reuse. Recycled steel produced at the site would primarily be transported by ship to international ports. The facility would include air emission controls and an industrial stormwater system to capture and reuse rainwater. Material delivered for shredding at the facility would include retired automobiles, appliances, agricultural equipment, and industrial scrap metal. The facility would include overhead conveyors, a 6,000-horsepower metal shredder, sorting equipment, a maintenance building, an office, and a warehouse. The proposed facility would use existing Port conveyor systems. A new underground conveyor connecting a shredded metal stockpile area on the project site to the Ports existing conveyor system would be constructed to allow delivery of processed steel to ships at the Port. Other proposed on-site infrastructure includes truck scales, a stormwater detention pond, and two stormwater storage tanks. Project implementation would require connection to existing off-site 115-kilovolt (kV) overhead transmission power lines located west of the Port. A new outdoor substation would be installed to reduce the transmission voltage to the correct level. In addition to the proposed action (Alternative 1), this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4), a Natural Gas-Powered Shredder Alternative (Alternative 2), and a Reduced Volume Alternative (Alternative 3). Under the Natural Gas-Powered Shredder Alternative, the shredder would be powered by three natural gas engines, and connection to the off-site 115-kV transmission power lines would not be required. The Reduced Volume Alterative would involve the processing of 25 percent less material through the facility on an annual basis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed facility would allow recycled ferrous metals to be processed and placed on ships closer to central California scrap metal sources, thus reducing transportation costs for local scrap metal sellers and improving regional air quality by reducing truck travel distances. The project would also provide for the cleanup and reuse of an existing brownfield site and add an additional revenue-producing tenant for the Port. The new Port entrance and roadway would facilitate development of this project and yield additional safety improvements for existing and future rail crossings. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of Alternative 2 would result in generation of long-term emissions of criteria air pollutants and precursors.

Until early 2008, the loan limit was the same in all parts of the US, except in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands. A series of laws has established higher loan limits in localized areas where median home values are relatively high. This Mortgage Market Note discusses the potential changes in the loan limits; provides information on the location and magnitude of the possible loan limit declines; and summarizes the underlying legislation that determines existing and future loan limits.

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - YESLER TERRACE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, CITY OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. AN - 873132949; 14880-4_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The redevelopment of Yesler Terrace, a 70-year-old public housing community in the First Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington is proposed. The 561 public housing units and associated infrastructure on the 36.6-acre Yesler Terrace site are nearing the end of their useful life and need to be replaced. Redevelopment is anticipated to take 15 to 20 years to complete and would include replacement of all existing low income housing units and upgrades to the supporting infrastructure, including some utility systems and several streets. The project would include a mix of low income and market rate housing, office uses, hotels, neighborhood retail and small office uses, neighborhood services uses, as well as parks and open space, and vehicular, pedestrian and bike improvements. Five redevelopment alternatives and a No Action Alternative were analyzed in the draft EIS of October 2010. Alternatives 1, 1A, 2, and 3 represent a range of densities and intensities of uses that the site could accommodate under a new zoning designation. Under Alternative 4, the existing City of Seattle comprehensive plan and lowrise-3 zoning designations would govern future development of the site. This final EIS describes the preferred alternative, a further refinement of the draft EIS alternatives that includes an additional 2.3-acre area east of 12th Avenue (referred to as the East of 12th Sector). Redevelopment would primarily incorporate elements of draft EIS Alternatives 2 and 3 and would include: approximately 5,000 housing units; 900,000 square feet of office/hotel use; 88,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial; 65,000 square feet of neighborhood services (including the existing Yesler Terrace Community Center); 6.5 acres of public open space; 9.4 acres of semi-private and private open space; and 5,100 parking spaces within or under buildings. The amounts of housing, office, retail, parking and open space represent the maximum amounts feasible, not necessarily the maximum amounts to be built. All 561 units of existing extremely low-income public housing at or within two blocks of Yesler Terrace would be replaced, regardless of the amount of ancillary development. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Redevelopment under the preferred alternative would lay the groundwork for: 1) a high-density, sustainable community that features a mix of uses that are complimentary to the existing First Hill and Central Area neighborhoods and the adjacent downtown district; 2) a street network that integrates and connects the site to the surrounding neighborhoods; and 3) a system of parks and open space. Public well being would be enhanced via improved building design, pedestrian access, vehicular access and aesthetic character. The provision of space for up to 3,266 jobs related to office, hotel, neighborhood commercial and neighborhood services uses would increase employment in the community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Site grading and construction could generate dust and cause erosion of soils and off-site transport of sediment. Demolition would require the removal and disposal of building materials that could contain asbestos and lead-based paint. Following development, impervious surface area onsite would increase relative to existing conditions. Overall, the amount of built area would increase to 75 percent as compared to 58 percent under existing conditions. Vegetated areas would decrease from 42 percent to 25 percent.

AN - 868223723; 14845-9_0010 AB - PURPOSE: The development and operation of a scrap metal shredding and recycling facility at the Port of West Sacramento (Port), Yolo County, California is proposed. West Coast Recycling Group LLC (WCRG) is seeking a conditional use permit from the City of West Sacramento and a ground lease from the Port to construct and operate the facility on 15 acres of vacant industrial land located at 3125 Industrial Boulevard in the northwestern portion of the Port facility. The City has applied to the Community Development Block Grant program funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for a grant to fund design and construction of a new entrance to the Port on the south side of Industrial Boulevard, west of the Ports current main entrance and east of Beacon Drive. This new entrance would act as the vehicle access point for the project. Facility operations would include sorting and shredding scrap metal, separating and processing materials to extract usable material, and stabilizing nonmetallic material for disposal or reuse. Recycled steel produced at the site would primarily be transported by ship to international ports. The facility would include air emission controls and an industrial stormwater system to capture and reuse rainwater. A portion of the metal material delivered for shredding at the facility would include retired automobiles. Other scrap metal processed at the facility is anticipated to include appliances, agricultural equipment, and industrial scrap metal. The metal shredder facility would include overhead conveyors, a 6,000-horsepower metal shredder, sorting equipment, a maintenance building, an office, and a warehouse. The proposed facility would use existing Port conveyor systems. A new underground conveyor connecting a shredded metal stockpile area on the project site to the Ports existing conveyor system would be constructed to allow delivery of processed steel to ships at the Port. Other proposed on-site infrastructure includes truck scales, a stormwater detention pond, and two stormwater storage tanks. Project implementation would require connection to existing off-site 115-kilovolt (kV) overhead transmission power lines located west of the Port. A new outdoor substation would also be required to be installed to reduce the transmission voltage to the correct level. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS includes considers a No Action Alternative, a Natural Gas-Powered Shredder Alternative, and a Reduced Volume Alternative. Under the Natural Gas-Powered Shredder Alternative, the shredder would be powered by three natural gas engines, and connection to the off-site 115-kV transmission power lines would not be required. The Reduced Volume Alterative would involve the processing of 25 percent less material through the facility on an annual basis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would allow recycled ferrous metals to be processed and placed on ships closer to central California scrap metal sources, reduce transportation costs for local scrap metal sellers, and improve regional air quality by reducing truck travel distances for scrap metal to reach recycling and maritime shipping facilities. The project would also provide for cleanup and reuse of an existing brownfield site and add an additional revenue-producing tenant for the Port. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of Alternatives 1 and 3 would potentially degrade the visual character of the project site and its surroundings from the addition of a new PG&E transmission line. Alternative 2 would result in generation of long-term, emissions of criteria air pollutants and precursors. LEGAL MANDATES: Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.

The Reduced Volume Alterative would involve the processing of 25 percent less material through the facility on an annual basis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would allow recycled ferrous metals to be processed and placed on ships closer to central California scrap metal sources, reduce transportation costs for local scrap metal sellers, and improve regional air quality by reducing truck travel distances for scrap metal to reach recycling and maritime shipping facilities. The project would also provide for cleanup and reuse of an existing brownfield site and add an additional revenue-producing tenant for the Port. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of Alternatives 1 and 3 would potentially degrade the visual character of the project site and its surroundings from the addition of a new PG&E transmission line. Alternative 2 would result in generation of long-term, emissions of criteria air pollutants and precursors. LEGAL MANDATES: Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.

AN - 868223681; 14845-9_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The development and operation of a scrap metal shredding and recycling facility at the Port of West Sacramento (Port), Yolo County, California is proposed. West Coast Recycling Group LLC (WCRG) is seeking a conditional use permit from the City of West Sacramento and a ground lease from the Port to construct and operate the facility on 15 acres of vacant industrial land located at 3125 Industrial Boulevard in the northwestern portion of the Port facility. The City has applied to the Community Development Block Grant program funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for a grant to fund design and construction of a new entrance to the Port on the south side of Industrial Boulevard, west of the Ports current main entrance and east of Beacon Drive. This new entrance would act as the vehicle access point for the project. Facility operations would include sorting and shredding scrap metal, separating and processing materials to extract usable material, and stabilizing nonmetallic material for disposal or reuse. Recycled steel produced at the site would primarily be transported by ship to international ports. The facility would include air emission controls and an industrial stormwater system to capture and reuse rainwater. A portion of the metal material delivered for shredding at the facility would include retired automobiles. Other scrap metal processed at the facility is anticipated to include appliances, agricultural equipment, and industrial scrap metal. The metal shredder facility would include overhead conveyors, a 6,000-horsepower metal shredder, sorting equipment, a maintenance building, an office, and a warehouse. The proposed facility would use existing Port conveyor systems. A new underground conveyor connecting a shredded metal stockpile area on the project site to the Ports existing conveyor system would be constructed to allow delivery of processed steel to ships at the Port. Other proposed on-site infrastructure includes truck scales, a stormwater detention pond, and two stormwater storage tanks. Project implementation would require connection to existing off-site 115-kilovolt (kV) overhead transmission power lines located west of the Port. A new outdoor substation would also be required to be installed to reduce the transmission voltage to the correct level. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS includes considers a No Action Alternative, a Natural Gas-Powered Shredder Alternative, and a Reduced Volume Alternative.

[Part 1 of 2] T2 - SUNSET AREA COMMUNITY PLANNED ACTION, CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON. AN - 868223631; 14847-1_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The redevelopment of the Sunset Terrace public housing community, a 7.3-acre property with 100 existing units contained in 27 two-story buildings, located at the intersection of NE Sunset Boulevard and Harrington Avenue NE in Renton, Washington is proposed. The study area is the broader Sunset Area community neighborhood, also known as the Highlands area, generally bounded by NE 21st Street on the north, Monroe Avenue NE on the east, NE 7th Street on the south, and Edmonds Avenue NE. The Renton Housing Authority (RHA) owns additional land along Edmonds Avenue NE, Glenwood Avenue NE, and Sunset Lane NE, and proposes to purchase property adjacent to Sunset Terrace, along Harrington Avenue NE to incorporate into the Sunset Terrace redevelopment. Sunset Terrace, constructed in 1959, housed 279 residents as of September 2010. The redevelopment would include a one-to-one unit replacement for all 100 existing public housing units, some of which would occur on site and some of which would occur elsewhere in the study area. Up to 479 additional new units could be constructed with a portion of the units being public, affordable, and market-rate. Public amenities would be integrated with the residential development. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Under Alternative 2, RHA would redevelop the Sunset Terrace public housing community according to a master plan and an estimated 310 new dwellings would be developed in the potential redevelopment subarea, with more moderate-density flats and townhomes at a combined density of 40 units per acre. NE Sunset Boulevard would be improved largely within the current right-of-way and natural stormwater infrastructure would be integrated in design of streets, parks, and new development. Alternative 3 would include a greater number of dwellings developed in a mixed-income, mixed-use style, major public investment in study area infrastructure and services, and adoption of a planned action ordinance. Up to 479 additional new units could be created, some of which would be public, affordable, and/or market-rate, resulting in a density of 52 units per acre. Under the preferred alternative, 266 new units would result in a density of 33 units per acre and a 2.7-acre central park and a loop road would be developed. Public amenities could contain: a reconfigured Sunset Lane NE along the library that could be used as a plaza; an elder day health center; a new public library in a single-purpose building; retail shopping and commercial space; and green infrastructure. A family village in the north subarea would provide an opportunity for integrated reinvestment in housing, education, recreation, and supportive services. NE Sunset Boulevard would be transformed to improve all forms of mobility and improvements at intersections would prioritize transit vehicles. A multi-use trail along the west side of NE Sunset Boulevard would promote nonmotorized transportation. An eastbound bike lane would run from Edmonds Avenue NE up the hill to the Citys bike route on NE 10th Street. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The redevelopment of public housing would facilitate creation of a more vibrant and attractive community for residents, businesses, and property owners. Public service and infrastructure improvements would catalyze private property reinvestment which could lead to additional opportunities for employment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would generate fugitive dust and suspended particulate matter, temporarily increase congestion and reduce parking, and impede local access for businesses and residents. Demolition and construction activity would temporarily increase noise levels at residences close to the development site. Construction crews could encounter underground storage tanks and hazardous building materials that require special disposal. The demolition of the Sunset Terrace complex would require the relocation of the tenants. LEGAL MANDATES: Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437).

Under Alternative 2, RHA would redevelop the Sunset Terrace public housing community according to a master plan and an estimated 310 new dwellings would be developed in the potential redevelopment subarea, with more moderate-density flats and townhomes at a combined density of 40 units per acre. NE Sunset Boulevard would be improved largely within the current right-of-way and natural stormwater infrastructure would be integrated in design of streets, parks, and new development. Alternative 3 would include a greater number of dwellings developed in a mixed-income, mixed-use style, major public investment in study area infrastructure and services, and adoption of a planned action ordinance. Up to 479 additional new units could be created, some of which would be public, affordable, and/or market-rate, resulting in a density of 52 units per acre. Under the preferred alternative, 266 new units would result in a density of 33 units per acre and a 2.7-acre central park and a loop road would be developed. Public amenities could contain: a reconfigured Sunset Lane NE along the library that could be used as a plaza; an elder day health center; a new public library in a single-purpose building; retail shopping and commercial space; and green infrastructure. A family village in the north subarea would provide an opportunity for integrated reinvestment in housing, education, recreation, and supportive services. NE Sunset Boulevard would be transformed to improve all forms of mobility and improvements at intersections would prioritize transit vehicles. A multi-use trail along the west side of NE Sunset Boulevard would promote nonmotorized transportation. An eastbound bike lane would run from Edmonds Avenue NE up the hill to the Citys bike route on NE 10th Street. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The redevelopment of public housing would facilitate creation of a more vibrant and attractive community for residents, businesses, and property owners. Public service and infrastructure improvements would catalyze private property reinvestment which could lead to additional opportunities for employment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would generate fugitive dust and suspended particulate matter, temporarily increase congestion and reduce parking, and impede local access for businesses and residents. Demolition and construction activity would temporarily increase noise levels at residences close to the development site. Construction crews could encounter underground storage tanks and hazardous building materials that require special disposal. The demolition of the Sunset Terrace complex would require the relocation of the tenants. LEGAL MANDATES: Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437).

AN - 864187686; 14845 AB - PURPOSE: The development and operation of a scrap metal shredding and recycling facility at the Port of West Sacramento (Port), Yolo County, California is proposed. West Coast Recycling Group LLC (WCRG) is seeking a conditional use permit from the City of West Sacramento and a ground lease from the Port to construct and operate the facility on 15 acres of vacant industrial land located at 3125 Industrial Boulevard in the northwestern portion of the Port facility. The City has applied to the Community Development Block Grant program funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for a grant to fund design and construction of a new entrance to the Port on the south side of Industrial Boulevard, west of the Ports current main entrance and east of Beacon Drive. This new entrance would act as the vehicle access point for the project. Facility operations would include sorting and shredding scrap metal, separating and processing materials to extract usable material, and stabilizing nonmetallic material for disposal or reuse. Recycled steel produced at the site would primarily be transported by ship to international ports. The facility would include air emission controls and an industrial stormwater system to capture and reuse rainwater. A portion of the metal material delivered for shredding at the facility would include retired automobiles. Other scrap metal processed at the facility is anticipated to include appliances, agricultural equipment, and industrial scrap metal. The metal shredder facility would include overhead conveyors, a 6,000-horsepower metal shredder, sorting equipment, a maintenance building, an office, and a warehouse. The proposed facility would use existing Port conveyor systems. A new underground conveyor connecting a shredded metal stockpile area on the project site to the Ports existing conveyor system would be constructed to allow delivery of processed steel to ships at the Port. Other proposed on-site infrastructure includes truck scales, a stormwater detention pond, and two stormwater storage tanks. Project implementation would require connection to existing off-site 115-kilovolt (kV) overhead transmission power lines located west of the Port. A new outdoor substation would also be required to be installed to reduce the transmission voltage to the correct level. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS includes considers a No Action Alternative, a Natural Gas-Powered Shredder Alternative, and a Reduced Volume Alternative. Under the Natural Gas-Powered Shredder Alternative, the shredder would be powered by three natural gas engines, and connection to the off-site 115-kV transmission power lines would not be required. The Reduced Volume Alterative would involve the processing of 25 percent less material through the facility on an annual basis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would allow recycled ferrous metals to be processed and placed on ships closer to central California scrap metal sources, reduce transportation costs for local scrap metal sellers, and improve regional air quality by reducing truck travel distances for scrap metal to reach recycling and maritime shipping facilities. The project would also provide for cleanup and reuse of an existing brownfield site and add an additional revenue-producing tenant for the Port. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of Alternatives 1 and 3 would potentially degrade the visual character of the project site and its surroundings from the addition of a new PG&E transmission line. Alternative 2 would result in generation of long-term, emissions of criteria air pollutants and precursors. LEGAL MANDATES: Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.

AN - 896164518; 2011-139932 AB - Theoretical models of urban development come to contradictory conclusions regarding the nature of central city-suburb interdependence. Unfortunately, empirical research into this relationship has been hampered by the lack of identifying information due to the endogeneity of factors affecting both central city and suburban growth. This paper resolves the identification problem by constructing an index that measures price shocks to export industries located in either center cities or their suburbs. The results indicate that positive export industry price shocks to one area have a positive spillover effect on the other. Interestingly, the cross-elasticity of suburban employment with respect to center city employment (1.18) significantly exceeds the cross-elasticity of central city employment with respect to suburban employment (0.24).

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - SUNSET AREA COMMUNITY PLANNED ACTION, CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON. AN - 873127071; 14733-3_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The redevelopment of the Sunset Terrace public housing community, a 7.3-acre property with 100 existing units contained in 27 two-story buildings, located at the intersection of NE Sunset Boulevard and Harrington Avenue NE in Renton, Washington is proposed. The study area is the broader Sunset Area community neighborhood also known as the Highlands area. It is generally bounded by NE 21st Street on the north, Monroe Avenue NE on the east, NE 7th Street on the south, and Edmonds Avenue NE. The Renton Housing Authority (RHA) is the proponent of the primary development action which is part of a planned action that would encourage redevelopment in the study area through land use growth allowances and public service and infrastructure improvements. RHA also owns additional vacant and residential land along Edmonds Avenue NE, Glenwood Avenue NE, and Sunset Lane NE, and proposes to purchase additional property adjacent to Sunset Terrace, along Harrington Avenue NE; RHA plans to incorporate these additional properties into the Sunset Terrace redevelopment for housing and associated services. Sunset Terrace was constructed in 1959 and requires ever-increasing maintenance. As of September 2010, Sunset Terrace housed 279 residents and the average family income was $19,516. Conceptual plans currently propose redevelopment of Sunset Terrace and adjacent properties with mixed-income, mixed-use residential and commercial space and public amenities. The redevelopment would include a one-to-one unit replacement for all 100 existing public housing units, some of which would occur on site and some of which would occur elsewhere in the study area. It is expected that, with the Sunset Terrace property and associated properties owned or purchased by RHA, up to 479 additional new units could be constructed with a portion of the units being public, affordable, and market-rate. Public amenities would be integrated with the residential development and could include the following: a community gathering space; civic facilities such as a community center, senior center, and/or public library space; a new park/open space; retail shopping and commercial space; and green infrastructure. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1,) are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 represents a moderate level of growth based on investment in mixed-income housing and mixed uses in the potential Sunset Terrace redevelopment subarea, targeted infrastructure and public services throughout the study area, and adoption of a planned action ordinance to streamline the environmental review process for development. RHA would redevelop the Sunset Terrace public housing community according to a master plan and an estimated 310 new dwellings would be developed in the potential redevelopment subarea, with more moderate-density flats and townhomes at a combined density of 40 units per acre. NE Sunset Boulevard would be improved largely within the current right-of-way and natural stormwater infrastructure would be integrated in design of streets, parks, and new development. Alternative 3 represents the highest level of growth with a greater number of dwellings developed in a mixed-income, mixed-use style, major public investment in study area infrastructure and services, and adoption of a planned action ordinance. Land use patterns would be of an urban intensity focused along the NE Sunset Boulevard corridor. Up to 479 additional new units could be created, some of which would be public, affordable, and/or market-rate, resulting in a density of 52 units per acre. NE Sunset Boulevard would be transformed to improve all forms of mobility. A wider right-of-way would allow for intersection improvements, bike lanes in both directions, and sidewalks. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The redevelopment of public housing would facilitate creation of a more vibrant and attractive community for residents, businesses, and property owners. Public service and infrastructure improvements would catalyze private property reinvestment which could lead to additional opportunities for employment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would cause temporary increases in the ambient concentrations of fugitive dust and suspended particulate matter, temporarily increase congestion and reduce parking, and impede local access for businesses and residents. Demolition and construction activity would temporarily increase noise levels at residences close to the development site. Construction crews could encounter underground storage tanks and hazardous building materials that require special disposal. The demolition of the Sunset Terrace complex would require the relocation of the tenants.

[Part 8 of 18] T2 - YESLER TERRACE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, CITY OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. AN - 873132636; 14693-3_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The redevelopment of Yesler Terrace, a public housing community located on the southern slope of First Hill in Seattle, Washington is proposed. The 36.6-acre Yesler Terrace site currently contains 561 public housing units, a community center and various other buildings. The housing units and the associated infrastructure are nearing the end of their useful life and need to be replaced. Assumed redevelopment is anticipated to take 15 to 20 years to complete and would include replacement of all existing low income housing units, as well as upgrades to the supporting infrastructure including some utility systems and several streets. The project would include a mix of low income and market rate housing, office uses, hotels, neighborhood retail and small office uses, and neighborhood services uses, as well as parks and open space, and vehicular, pedestrian and bike improvements. Five redevelopment alternatives and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this draft EIS. The No Action Alternative represents a continuation of the site in its present configuration and condition. The existing extremely low income public housing units would be replaced and renovated as necessary or on a programmed schedule. Alternatives 1, 1A, 2 and 3 represent a range of densities and intensities of uses that the site could accommodate under a new zoning designation. Alternative 1 represents the lower range of potential mixed use redevelopment of the site, with an assumed 3.65 million square feet of housing-based/mixed use redevelopment built over the assumed 20-year horizon. Land uses under Alternative 1 would include approximately: 3,000 dwelling units; 800,000 square feet of office; 40,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial; 50,000 square feet of neighborhood services; 6.0 acres of public open space and 7.3 acres of semi-private open space; and, 3,900 parking spaces within/under buildings. Under Alternative 1A, office space would be reduced to 400,000 square feet. Alternative 2 represents the middle range of potential mixed use redevelopment of the site, with an assumed 4.75 million square feet of housing-based/mixed use redevelopment. Land uses would include approximately: 4,000 dwelling units; 1 million square feet of office; 60,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial; 50,000 square feet of neighborhood services; 6.5 acres of public open space and 9.4 acres of semi-private open space; and, 5,100 parking spaces. Alternative 3 represents the higher range of potential mixed use redevelopment of the site, with an assumed 5.84 million square feet of housing-based/mixed use redevelopment. Land uses would include approximately: 5,000 dwelling units; 1.2 million square feet of office; 88,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial; 50,000 square feet of neighborhood services; 6.9 acres of public open space and 9.2 acres of semi-private open space; and, 6,300 parking spaces. Under Alternative 4, the existing City of Seattle comprehensive plan and lowrise-3 zoning designations would govern future development of the site. Under all alternatives, the existing city-owned Yesler Community Center would remain. Currently, there is no preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Redevelopment would create a mixed income, mixed use community that would better serve existing and future residents. Public well being would be enhanced via improved building design, pedestrian access, vehicular access and aesthetic character. Population characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity, and income would likely shift to be more reflective of the site vicinity and the city. The provision of space for up to 2,837 jobs related to office, hotel, neighborhood commercial and neighborhood services uses would increase employment in the community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Site grading and construction could generate dust and cause erosion of exposed soils and off-site transport of sediment. Demolition would require the removal and disposal of building materials that could contain asbestos and lead based paint. Following development, impervious surface area onsite would increase relative to existing conditions. Overall, the amount of built area would increase to 73 percent as compared to 58 percent under existing conditions. Vegetated areas would decrease from 42 percent to 27 percent.

Land uses would include approximately: 4,000 dwelling units; 1 million square feet of office; 60,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial; 50,000 square feet of neighborhood services; 6.5 acres of public open space and 9.4 acres of semi-private open space; and, 5,100 parking spaces. Alternative 3 represents the higher range of potential mixed use redevelopment of the site, with an assumed 5.84 million square feet of housing-based/mixed use redevelopment. Land uses would include approximately: 5,000 dwelling units; 1.2 million square feet of office; 88,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial; 50,000 square feet of neighborhood services; 6.9 acres of public open space and 9.2 acres of semi-private open space; and, 6,300 parking spaces. Under Alternative 4, the existing City of Seattle comprehensive plan and lowrise-3 zoning designations would govern future development of the site. Under all alternatives, the existing city-owned Yesler Community Center would remain. Currently, there is no preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Redevelopment would create a mixed income, mixed use community that would better serve existing and future residents. Public well being would be enhanced via improved building design, pedestrian access, vehicular access and aesthetic character. Population characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity, and income would likely shift to be more reflective of the site vicinity and the city. The provision of space for up to 2,837 jobs related to office, hotel, neighborhood commercial and neighborhood services uses would increase employment in the community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Site grading and construction could generate dust and cause erosion of exposed soils and off-site transport of sediment. Demolition would require the removal and disposal of building materials that could contain asbestos and lead based paint. Following development, impervious surface area onsite would increase relative to existing conditions. Overall, the amount of built area would increase to 73 percent as compared to 58 percent under existing conditions. Vegetated areas would decrease from 42 percent to 27 percent.

Under Alternative 4, the existing City of Seattle comprehensive plan and lowrise-3 zoning designations would govern future development of the site. Under all alternatives, the existing city-owned Yesler Community Center would remain. Currently, there is no preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Redevelopment would create a mixed income, mixed use community that would better serve existing and future residents. Public well being would be enhanced via improved building design, pedestrian access, vehicular access and aesthetic character. Population characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity, and income would likely shift to be more reflective of the site vicinity and the city. The provision of space for up to 2,837 jobs related to office, hotel, neighborhood commercial and neighborhood services uses would increase employment in the community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Site grading and construction could generate dust and cause erosion of exposed soils and off-site transport of sediment. Demolition would require the removal and disposal of building materials that could contain asbestos and lead based paint. Following development, impervious surface area onsite would increase relative to existing conditions. Overall, the amount of built area would increase to 73 percent as compared to 58 percent under existing conditions. Vegetated areas would decrease from 42 percent to 27 percent.

The 36.6-acre Yesler Terrace site currently contains 561 public housing units, a community center and various other buildings. The housing units and the associated infrastructure are nearing the end of their useful life and need to be replaced. Assumed redevelopment is anticipated to take 15 to 20 years to complete and would include replacement of all existing low income housing units, as well as upgrades to the supporting infrastructure including some utility systems and several streets. The project would include a mix of low income and market rate housing, office uses, hotels, neighborhood retail and small office uses, and neighborhood services uses, as well as parks and open space, and vehicular, pedestrian and bike improvements. Five redevelopment alternatives and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this draft EIS. The No Action Alternative represents a continuation of the site in its present configuration and condition. The existing extremely low income public housing units would be replaced and renovated as necessary or on a programmed schedule. Alternatives 1, 1A, 2 and 3 represent a range of densities and intensities of uses that the site could accommodate under a new zoning designation. Alternative 1 represents the lower range of potential mixed use redevelopment of the site, with an assumed 3.65 million square feet of housing-based/mixed use redevelopment built over the assumed 20-year horizon. Land uses under Alternative 1 would include approximately: 3,000 dwelling units; 800,000 square feet of office; 40,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial; 50,000 square feet of neighborhood services; 6.0 acres of public open space and 7.3 acres of semi-private open space; and, 3,900 parking spaces within/under buildings. Under Alternative 1A, office space would be reduced to 400,000 square feet. Alternative 2 represents the middle range of potential mixed use redevelopment of the site, with an assumed 4.75 million square feet of housing-based/mixed use redevelopment. Land uses would include approximately: 4,000 dwelling units; 1 million square feet of office; 60,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial; 50,000 square feet of neighborhood services; 6.5 acres of public open space and 9.4 acres of semi-private open space; and, 5,100 parking spaces. Alternative 3 represents the higher range of potential mixed use redevelopment of the site, with an assumed 5.84 million square feet of housing-based/mixed use redevelopment. Land uses would include approximately: 5,000 dwelling units; 1.2 million square feet of office; 88,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial; 50,000 square feet of neighborhood services; 6.9 acres of public open space and 9.2 acres of semi-private open space; and, 6,300 parking spaces.

AN - 873131868; 14693-3_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The redevelopment of Yesler Terrace, a public housing community located on the southern slope of First Hill in Seattle, Washington is proposed. The 36.6-acre Yesler Terrace site currently contains 561 public housing units, a community center and various other buildings. The housing units and the associated infrastructure are nearing the end of their useful life and need to be replaced. Assumed redevelopment is anticipated to take 15 to 20 years to complete and would include replacement of all existing low income housing units, as well as upgrades to the supporting infrastructure including some utility systems and several streets. The project would include a mix of low income and market rate housing, office uses, hotels, neighborhood retail and small office uses, and neighborhood services uses, as well as parks and open space, and vehicular, pedestrian and bike improvements. Five redevelopment alternatives and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this draft EIS. The No Action Alternative represents a continuation of the site in its present configuration and condition. The existing extremely low income public housing units would be replaced and renovated as necessary or on a programmed schedule. Alternatives 1, 1A, 2 and 3 represent a range of densities and intensities of uses that the site could accommodate under a new zoning designation. Alternative 1 represents the lower range of potential mixed use redevelopment of the site, with an assumed 3.65 million square feet of housing-based/mixed use redevelopment built over the assumed 20-year horizon. Land uses under Alternative 1 would include approximately: 3,000 dwelling units; 800,000 square feet of office; 40,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial; 50,000 square feet of neighborhood services; 6.0 acres of public open space and 7.3 acres of semi-private open space; and, 3,900 parking spaces within/under buildings. Under Alternative 1A, office space would be reduced to 400,000 square feet. Alternative 2 represents the middle range of potential mixed use redevelopment of the site, with an assumed 4.75 million square feet of housing-based/mixed use redevelopment. Land uses would include approximately: 4,000 dwelling units; 1 million square feet of office; 60,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial; 50,000 square feet of neighborhood services; 6.5 acres of public open space and 9.4 acres of semi-private open space; and, 5,100 parking spaces. Alternative 3 represents the higher range of potential mixed use redevelopment of the site, with an assumed 5.84 million square feet of housing-based/mixed use redevelopment. Land uses would include approximately: 5,000 dwelling units; 1.2 million square feet of office; 88,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial; 50,000 square feet of neighborhood services; 6.9 acres of public open space and 9.2 acres of semi-private open space; and, 6,300 parking spaces. Under Alternative 4, the existing City of Seattle comprehensive plan and lowrise-3 zoning designations would govern future development of the site. Under all alternatives, the existing city-owned Yesler Community Center would remain. Currently, there is no preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Redevelopment would create a mixed income, mixed use community that would better serve existing and future residents. Public well being would be enhanced via improved building design, pedestrian access, vehicular access and aesthetic character. Population characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity, and income would likely shift to be more reflective of the site vicinity and the city.

This paper develops and applies a space-based strategy for overcoming the general problem of deriving the implicit demand for nonmarket goods. It focuses specifically on evaluating one form of environmental quality, distance from Environmental Protection Agency designated environmental hazards, via the single-family housing market in the Puget Sound region of Washington State. A spatial two-stage hedonic price analysis is used to: (i) estimate the marginal implicit price of distance from air release sites, hazardous waste generators, hazardous waste handlers, superfund sites, and toxic release sites; and (ii) estimate a series of implicit demand functions describing the relationship between the price of distance and the quantity consumed. The analysis, which represents an important step forward in the valuation of environmental quality, reveals that the information needed to identify second-stage demand functions is hidden right in plain sight-hanging in the aether of the regional housing market.

The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

AN - 873131233; 14443-1_0068 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

[Part 59 of 68] T2 - INTERSTATE 69, SECTION OF INDEPENDENT UTILITY 11, FROM BENOIT TO ROBINSONVILLE, BOLIVAR, COAHOMA, TUNICA, AND SUNFLOWER COUNTIES, MISSISSIPPI (NCPD-1069-00(001)). AN - 873131197; 14443-1_0059 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

AN - 873131154; 14443-1_0025 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

AN - 873131027; 14443-1_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

AN - 873130981; 14443-1_0040 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

AN - 873130929; 14443-1_0018 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet.

AN - 873129272; 14443-1_0048 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

AN - 873126937; 14443-1_0046 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion.

[Part 12 of 14] T2 - INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 15 (I-15) CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS AND LOCAL ARTERIAL IMPROVEMENTS (PROJECT NEON), LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. AN - 873130888; 14370-1_0012 AB - PURPOSE: Major highway improvements to the Interstate 15 (I-15) corridor and local arteries, Clark County, Las Vegas, Nevada are proposed. Project NEON, as it is known, extends from the Sahara Avenue interchange on the south to the I-15/US Highway 95 (US 95)/I-515 interchange (the Las Vegas Spaghetti Bowl) on the north. The I-15 corridor, including Project NEON, serves the Las Vegas Valley as a transportation artery through downtown Las Vegas and the resort corridor, a 30-square-mile area centered on the Las Vegas strip, extending from downtown Las Vegas to new resorts and commercial developments being built south of I-215. It includes the Las Vegas Convention Center, several near-strip resorts, McCarran International Airport, and the University of Nevada Las Vegas campus. The project covers a distance of 3.7 miles on I-15 and integrates several major highway improvement components: expanding and improving the I-15 mainline, including high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, between Sahara Avenue and US 95; reconstructing the I-15/Charleston Boulevard interchange; adding freeway access near Alta Drive; grade separating Oakey Boulevard/Wyoming Avenue and the Union Pacific Railroad (UPPR) tracks; and creating a new arterial roadway connection over I-15, Charleston Boulevard, and the UPRR by connecting Martin Luther King Boulevard and Industrial Road. This final EIS analyzes a No Build Alternative, and two reasonable build alternatives which evolved from a structured alternatives development and evaluation process conducted between fall 2003 and 2009. Alternative G, which is the preferred alternative, would provide four to five through lanes (depending on the location), two HOV lanes, and auxiliary lanes for northbound I-15 traffic, and also four to five through lanes, two HOV lanes, and auxiliary lanes for southbound I-15 traffic. A direct connector ramp would enhance the connection from northbound I-15 to northbound US 95. A similar ramp would enhance the connection between southbound US 95 and southbound I-15. South of Oakey Boulevard, Alternative G would shift the freeway centerline to the east, minimizing impacts to existing drainage facilities. The proposed action would improve the Martin Luther King Boulevard/Industrial Road Connector, including grade separating Oakey Boulevard and Wyoming Avenue over the Union Pacific Railroad and Industrial Road, and would reconstruct the Charleston Boulevard interchange (including improvements to Grand Central Parkway) and construct a half-diamond interchange at Alta Drive. Alternative H would provide four to five through lanes and two HOV lanes for northbound I-15 traffic, and four to five through lanes and two HOV lanes for southbound I-15 traffic. It would have northbound and southbound collector-distributor roads to safely carry vehicles entering and exiting I-15 separate from the through lanes. The other major features of Alternative H are the same as those for Alternative G. Total cost for the preferred alternative is estimated at $1.4 to $1.8 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would address existing and future corridor deficiencies related to traffic demand/capacity, crash rates, operational deficiencies, and system linkage by separating freeway traffic from arterial traffic, reducing the merge and diverge sections where traffic entering or exiting the interstate conflicts with through traffic, and increasing I-15 capacity. It would accommodate economic redevelopment through improved access to downtown Las Vegas and the resort corridor, and it would accommodate traffic that would use HOV lanes from Sahara Avenue to existing HOV lanes on US 95. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would: convert up to 115 acres of land for transportation use; require 345 residential displacements and 445 to 456 commercial displacements; impact 35 to 37 noise receptors remove up to 1,810 parking spaces; and affect 24 historic sites.

The project covers a distance of 3.7 miles on I-15 and integrates several major highway improvement components: expanding and improving the I-15 mainline, including high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, between Sahara Avenue and US 95; reconstructing the I-15/Charleston Boulevard interchange; adding freeway access near Alta Drive; grade separating Oakey Boulevard/Wyoming Avenue and the Union Pacific Railroad (UPPR) tracks; and creating a new arterial roadway connection over I-15, Charleston Boulevard, and the UPRR by connecting Martin Luther King Boulevard and Industrial Road. This final EIS analyzes a No Build Alternative, and two reasonable build alternatives which evolved from a structured alternatives development and evaluation process conducted between fall 2003 and 2009. Alternative G, which is the preferred alternative, would provide four to five through lanes (depending on the location), two HOV lanes, and auxiliary lanes for northbound I-15 traffic, and also four to five through lanes, two HOV lanes, and auxiliary lanes for southbound I-15 traffic. A direct connector ramp would enhance the connection from northbound I-15 to northbound US 95. A similar ramp would enhance the connection between southbound US 95 and southbound I-15. South of Oakey Boulevard, Alternative G would shift the freeway centerline to the east, minimizing impacts to existing drainage facilities. The proposed action would improve the Martin Luther King Boulevard/Industrial Road Connector, including grade separating Oakey Boulevard and Wyoming Avenue over the Union Pacific Railroad and Industrial Road, and would reconstruct the Charleston Boulevard interchange (including improvements to Grand Central Parkway) and construct a half-diamond interchange at Alta Drive. Alternative H would provide four to five through lanes and two HOV lanes for northbound I-15 traffic, and four to five through lanes and two HOV lanes for southbound I-15 traffic. It would have northbound and southbound collector-distributor roads to safely carry vehicles entering and exiting I-15 separate from the through lanes. The other major features of Alternative H are the same as those for Alternative G. Total cost for the preferred alternative is estimated at $1.4 to $1.8 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would address existing and future corridor deficiencies related to traffic demand/capacity, crash rates, operational deficiencies, and system linkage by separating freeway traffic from arterial traffic, reducing the merge and diverge sections where traffic entering or exiting the interstate conflicts with through traffic, and increasing I-15 capacity. It would accommodate economic redevelopment through improved access to downtown Las Vegas and the resort corridor, and it would accommodate traffic that would use HOV lanes from Sahara Avenue to existing HOV lanes on US 95. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would: convert up to 115 acres of land for transportation use; require 345 residential displacements and 445 to 456 commercial displacements; impact 35 to 37 noise receptors remove up to 1,810 parking spaces; and affect 24 historic sites.

[Part 14 of 14] T2 - INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 15 (I-15) CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS AND LOCAL ARTERIAL IMPROVEMENTS (PROJECT NEON), LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. AN - 873128229; 14370-1_0014 AB - PURPOSE: Major highway improvements to the Interstate 15 (I-15) corridor and local arteries, Clark County, Las Vegas, Nevada are proposed. Project NEON, as it is known, extends from the Sahara Avenue interchange on the south to the I-15/US Highway 95 (US 95)/I-515 interchange (the Las Vegas Spaghetti Bowl) on the north. The I-15 corridor, including Project NEON, serves the Las Vegas Valley as a transportation artery through downtown Las Vegas and the resort corridor, a 30-square-mile area centered on the Las Vegas strip, extending from downtown Las Vegas to new resorts and commercial developments being built south of I-215. It includes the Las Vegas Convention Center, several near-strip resorts, McCarran International Airport, and the University of Nevada Las Vegas campus. The project covers a distance of 3.7 miles on I-15 and integrates several major highway improvement components: expanding and improving the I-15 mainline, including high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, between Sahara Avenue and US 95; reconstructing the I-15/Charleston Boulevard interchange; adding freeway access near Alta Drive; grade separating Oakey Boulevard/Wyoming Avenue and the Union Pacific Railroad (UPPR) tracks; and creating a new arterial roadway connection over I-15, Charleston Boulevard, and the UPRR by connecting Martin Luther King Boulevard and Industrial Road. This final EIS analyzes a No Build Alternative, and two reasonable build alternatives which evolved from a structured alternatives development and evaluation process conducted between fall 2003 and 2009. Alternative G, which is the preferred alternative, would provide four to five through lanes (depending on the location), two HOV lanes, and auxiliary lanes for northbound I-15 traffic, and also four to five through lanes, two HOV lanes, and auxiliary lanes for southbound I-15 traffic. A direct connector ramp would enhance the connection from northbound I-15 to northbound US 95. A similar ramp would enhance the connection between southbound US 95 and southbound I-15. South of Oakey Boulevard, Alternative G would shift the freeway centerline to the east, minimizing impacts to existing drainage facilities. The proposed action would improve the Martin Luther King Boulevard/Industrial Road Connector, including grade separating Oakey Boulevard and Wyoming Avenue over the Union Pacific Railroad and Industrial Road, and would reconstruct the Charleston Boulevard interchange (including improvements to Grand Central Parkway) and construct a half-diamond interchange at Alta Drive. Alternative H would provide four to five through lanes and two HOV lanes for northbound I-15 traffic, and four to five through lanes and two HOV lanes for southbound I-15 traffic. It would have northbound and southbound collector-distributor roads to safely carry vehicles entering and exiting I-15 separate from the through lanes. The other major features of Alternative H are the same as those for Alternative G. Total cost for the preferred alternative is estimated at $1.4 to $1.8 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would address existing and future corridor deficiencies related to traffic demand/capacity, crash rates, operational deficiencies, and system linkage by separating freeway traffic from arterial traffic, reducing the merge and diverge sections where traffic entering or exiting the interstate conflicts with through traffic, and increasing I-15 capacity. It would accommodate economic redevelopment through improved access to downtown Las Vegas and the resort corridor, and it would accommodate traffic that would use HOV lanes from Sahara Avenue to existing HOV lanes on US 95. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would: convert up to 115 acres of land for transportation use; require 345 residential displacements and 445 to 456 commercial displacements; impact 35 to 37 noise receptors remove up to 1,810 parking spaces; and affect 24 historic sites.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would address existing and future corridor deficiencies related to traffic demand/capacity, crash rates, operational deficiencies, and system linkage by separating freeway traffic from arterial traffic, reducing the merge and diverge sections where traffic entering or exiting the interstate conflicts with through traffic, and increasing I-15 capacity.

[Part 1 of 14] T2 - INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 15 (I-15) CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS AND LOCAL ARTERIAL IMPROVEMENTS (PROJECT NEON), LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. AN - 873128202; 14370-1_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Major highway improvements to the Interstate 15 (I-15) corridor and local arteries, Clark County, Las Vegas, Nevada are proposed. Project NEON, as it is known, extends from the Sahara Avenue interchange on the south to the I-15/US Highway 95 (US 95)/I-515 interchange (the Las Vegas Spaghetti Bowl) on the north. The I-15 corridor, including Project NEON, serves the Las Vegas Valley as a transportation artery through downtown Las Vegas and the resort corridor, a 30-square-mile area centered on the Las Vegas strip, extending from downtown Las Vegas to new resorts and commercial developments being built south of I-215. It includes the Las Vegas Convention Center, several near-strip resorts, McCarran International Airport, and the University of Nevada Las Vegas campus. The project covers a distance of 3.7 miles on I-15 and integrates several major highway improvement components: expanding and improving the I-15 mainline, including high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, between Sahara Avenue and US 95; reconstructing the I-15/Charleston Boulevard interchange; adding freeway access near Alta Drive; grade separating Oakey Boulevard/Wyoming Avenue and the Union Pacific Railroad (UPPR) tracks; and creating a new arterial roadway connection over I-15, Charleston Boulevard, and the UPRR by connecting Martin Luther King Boulevard and Industrial Road. This final EIS analyzes a No Build Alternative, and two reasonable build alternatives which evolved from a structured alternatives development and evaluation process conducted between fall 2003 and 2009. Alternative G, which is the preferred alternative, would provide four to five through lanes (depending on the location), two HOV lanes, and auxiliary lanes for northbound I-15 traffic, and also four to five through lanes, two HOV lanes, and auxiliary lanes for southbound I-15 traffic. A direct connector ramp would enhance the connection from northbound I-15 to northbound US 95. A similar ramp would enhance the connection between southbound US 95 and southbound I-15. South of Oakey Boulevard, Alternative G would shift the freeway centerline to the east, minimizing impacts to existing drainage facilities. The proposed action would improve the Martin Luther King Boulevard/Industrial Road Connector, including grade separating Oakey Boulevard and Wyoming Avenue over the Union Pacific Railroad and Industrial Road, and would reconstruct the Charleston Boulevard interchange (including improvements to Grand Central Parkway) and construct a half-diamond interchange at Alta Drive. Alternative H would provide four to five through lanes and two HOV lanes for northbound I-15 traffic, and four to five through lanes and two HOV lanes for southbound I-15 traffic. It would have northbound and southbound collector-distributor roads to safely carry vehicles entering and exiting I-15 separate from the through lanes. The other major features of Alternative H are the same as those for Alternative G. Total cost for the preferred alternative is estimated at $1.4 to $1.8 billion.

The analysis demonstrates that the 'spatial hazard' framework is not only viable for studying urban form, but is extremely promising: the models do an excellent job of characterizing very different patterns of development, and they lend themselves directly to the kind of probative analysis needed to guide urban and regional policy. Compared to more traditional approaches to characterizing urban form - namely, density gradients - hazard models rest on a probabilistic worldview, and, so, they portray the built environment as a froth of stochastic transitions through which urban form unfolds in an irregular fashion until it at last comes undone. Several general conclusions and directions for future research follow from these findings.

"Earlier last week, President Obama proclaimed Family Day on Sept. 28 to emphasize the positive impact a loving, caring family has on children. Building strong, engaging families must first begin with a stable home. This funding will provide families the opportunity to safe, decent affordable housing for them and their children." This funding, that will support approximately 1,940 vouchers, will be available to public housing authorities through HUD's Family Unification Program (FUP), which provides rental assistance to families whose lack of adequate housing is a primary cause of parents being separated or near-separated from their children. In addition this funding is used to help provide stable housing for young adults (ages 18-21) who have aged-out of the foster care system. These vouchers, like HUD's Housing Choice Vouchers, allow a family to rent housing from a private landlord and generally pay 30 percent of the family's monthly adjusted gross income towards rent and utilities.

[Part 1 of 3] T2 - INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 15 (I-15) CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS AND LOCAL ARTERIAL IMPROVEMENTS (PROJECT NEON), LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. AN - 756826667; 14027-090323_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Major highway improvements to the Interstate 15 (I-15) corridor and local arteries, Clark County, Las Vegas, Nevada are proposed. Project NEON, as it is known, extends from the Sahara Avenue interchange on the south to the I-15/US Highway 95 (US 95)/I-515 interchange (the Las Vegas Spaghetti Bowl) on the north. The I-15 corridor, including Project NEON, serves the Las Vegas Valley as a transportation artery through downtown Las Vegas and the resort corridor, a 30-square-mile area centered on the Las Vegas strip, extending from downtown Las Vegas to new resorts and commercial developments being built south of I-215. It includes the Las Vegas Convention Center, several near-strip resorts, McCarran International Airport, and the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) campus. The project covers a distance of 3.7 miles on I-15 and integrates several major highway improvement components: expanding and improving the I-15 mainline, including high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, between Sahara Avenue and US 95; reconstructing the I-15/Charleston Boulevard interchange; adding freeway access near Alta Drive; grade separating Oakey Boulevard/Wyoming Avenue and the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks; and creating a new arterial roadway connection over I-15, Charleston Boulevard, and the UPRR by connecting Martin Luther King Boulevard and Industrial Road. In addition to transportation demand management and transportation system management measures, this draft EIS analyzes a No Build Alternative, and two reasonable build alternatives which evolved from a structured alternatives development and evaluation process conducted between fall 2003 and 2009. Alternative G would provide four to five through lanes (depending on the location), two HOV lanes, and auxiliary lanes for northbound I-15 traffic, and also four to five through lanes, two HOV lanes, and auxiliary lanes for southbound I-15 traffic. A direct connector ramp would enhance the connection from northbound I-15 to northbound US 95. A similar ramp would enhance the connection between southbound US 95 and southbound I-15. South of Oakey Boulevard, Alternative G would shift the freeway centerline to the east, minimizing impacts to existing drainage facilities. The proposed action would improve the Martin Luther King Boulevard/Industrial Road Connector, including grade separating Oakey Boulevard and Wyoming Avenue over the Union Pacific Railroad and Industrial Road, and would reconstruct the Charleston Boulevard interchange (including improvements to Grand Central Parkway) and construct a half-diamond interchange at Alta Drive. Alternative H would provide four to five through lanes and two HOV lanes for northbound I-15 traffic, and four to five through lanes and two HOV lanes for southbound I-15 traffic. It would have northbound and southbound collector-distributor (C-D) roads to safely carry vehicles entering and exiting I-15 separate from the through lanes. The other major features of Alternative H are the same as those for Alternative G. Total cost for Project NEON is estimated at $1.4 to $1.9 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would address existing and future corridor deficiencies related to traffic demand/capacity, crash rates, operational deficiencies, and system linkage by separating freeway traffic from arterial traffic, reducing the merge and diverge sections where traffic entering or exiting the interstate conflicts with through traffic, and increasing I-15 capacity. It would accommodate economic redevelopment through improved access to downtown Las Vegas and the resort corridor, and it would accommodate traffic that would use HOV lanes from Sahara Avenue to existing HOV lanes on US 95. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would: convert up to 115 acres of land for transportation use; require 345 residential displacements and 445 to 456 commercial displacements; impact 35 to 37 noise receptors; remove up to 1,810 parking spaces; and affect 24 historic sites.

Some minority-serving institutions (MSIs), like Tribal colleges and universities (TCUs), are only a few decades old, while historically black colleges and universities have been in existence for more than a century. MSIs are both integral and essential to their communities. Through executive orders and special legislation enacted over the past 20 years, the federal government seeks to strengthen the prominent role these colleges and universities play in their communities and provide a structured means for these institutions to access federal funds. As part of this federal outreach effort, the Office of University Partnerships (OUP) in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers four grant programs for MSIs. This publication highlights the accomplishments of those four programs: (1) The Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) program; (2) The Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) program; (3) The Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP); and (4) The Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Institutions Assisting Communities (AN/NHIAC) program. Furthermore, it illustrates the important role that MSIs play in improving their local communities and the nation as a whole. Chapters 1 through 4 provide background about MSIs, their unique history and mission, and the challenges they face as they serve their target populations. Chapters 5-7 highlight the important work that 18 MSIs are doing to revitalize their communities, support local businesses, and help at-risk individuals and families build better lives for themselves. Chapter 8 illustrates how OUP funds are helping five TCUs enhance their infrastructure and expand their campuses so they can serve more students. Information about all minority-serving institutions that have received a grant from the Office of University Partnerships (OUP) since 1998 is appended.

AN - 58802268; 2008-278240 AB - This article considers the way different interest groups within the community development field think about social change, and in particular how their assumptions about community-driven social change determine the strategies they believe will eventually transform poor communities. A review of the literature indicates that the community change concept embraced by policy analysts and philanthropic evaluators is inherently different from the one held by community development practitioners. Empirical findings from in-depth interviews with the executive directors of community development corporations (CDC5) reveal a person-focused understanding of community change that is in conflict with the physical redevelopment expectations of those who analyze and evaluate the impacts of their work. The author presents research findings that operationalize the community change perspectives of CDC practitioners and cohere with classical and contemporary social theories of community and change. A CDC practice-based approach to understanding community change is recommended. Adapted from the source document.

In this article, we propose that the processes of employer recruitment and selection, employee self-selection, cultural socialization, and reward systems help create extended work hours cultures (EWHC) that reinforce these trends. Moreover, we argue that EWHC organizations are becoming more prevalent and that organizations in which long hours have become the norm may recruit for and reinforce workaholic tendencies. Next, we offer spiritual leadership as a paradigm for organizational transformation and recovery from the negative aspects of EWHC to enhance employee well-being and corporate social responsibility without sacrificing profitability, revenue growth, and other indicators of financial performance. Finally, we will offer suggestions for future theory, research, and practice.

AN - 757266236; 14398-080434_0008 AB - PURPOSE: Commuter rail improvements in the Southwest-to-Northeast Rail Corridor serving the cities of Fort Worth, Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Colleyville, and Grapevine in Tarrant County, Texas is proposed. Sustained residential growth and expanding employment opportunities within the Corridor have resulted in increasing travel demand along major roadways. Existing and committed roadway improvements cannot keep pace with increases in traffic volumes on major roadways, resulting in steadily increasing congestion and air pollutant levels that exceed federal standards; the Corridor lies within a non-attainment area for eight-hour ozone levels. Access to Dallas-Fort Worth Airport (DFWA) and major activity centers beyond the Fort Worth Transportation Authority's service area is limited due to lack of transit service. Three alternatives, including the commuter rail Alternative, an Alternative involving baseline transportation infrastructure combined with transportation system management, and a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed commuter rail Alternative would operate on portions of the Cotton Belt railroad lines owned by the Fort Worth and Western Railroad, Union Pacific, and Dallas Area Rapid Transit. The commuter rail line would extend from southwest Fort Worth at a point near Sycamore School Road, through downtown Fort Worth, Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Colleyville, and Grapevine to the northern entrance of DFWA. The 37-mile system would be served by stations at the following 15 locations: Sycamore School Road, Interstate 20/Granbury Road, Texas Christian University/Berry, the Medical District, the existing Texas and Pacific Railroad terminal, the existing Fort Worth Intermodal Transportation Center, North Side, Beach Street, Haltom City/US 377, North Richland Hills-Iron Horse, North Richland Hills-Smithfield, Colleyville-John McCain, Grapevine-Main Street, DFWA-North, and DFWA-Terminal A/B. A new bridge would carry the rail line across the Trinity River. This commuter trains would run on an at-grade, single-track line shared with freight trains for nearly the entire route. Diesel multiple-unit technology would be the likely vehicle choice for the commuter rail Alternative. Once operational, the trains would run at 20-minute intervals during the peak morning and evening hours and at 60-minute intervals during midday hours and post-peak evening hours. Capital cost estimates for the commuter rail Alternative range from $502.3 million to $531.3 million in 2008 dollars. Annual operating and maintenance costs are estimated to range from $80.8 million to $81.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The commuter rail Alternative would provide multimodal solutions for mobility in the Corridor that would mitigate congestion and improve air quality. Improved mobility among regional activity centers would ease commuting and boost the local economy. Construction activities would employ 4,090 workers and result in the creation of 2,860 indirect jobs. Seventy percent of the population within one mile of the Corridor are minority group members, who would benefit from improved access without suffering disproportionately from the rail line's adverse impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Station development would require the displacement of three residences and 21 to 24 businesses as well as 61 acres of woodlands that could provide habitat to nine federally protected species. The rail alignment lies within a 100-year floodplain at 18 locations, and the project would affect seven wetlands, though less than 0.5 acre of wetland would be lost. The viewscapes related to certain historic sites would be significantly altered by rail infrastructure. Train-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 372 residences and moderate increases in noise would affect 667 residences. Construction workers could encounter hazardous waste sites.

AN - 757266120; 14398-080434_0004 AB - PURPOSE: Commuter rail improvements in the Southwest-to-Northeast Rail Corridor serving the cities of Fort Worth, Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Colleyville, and Grapevine in Tarrant County, Texas is proposed. Sustained residential growth and expanding employment opportunities within the Corridor have resulted in increasing travel demand along major roadways. Existing and committed roadway improvements cannot keep pace with increases in traffic volumes on major roadways, resulting in steadily increasing congestion and air pollutant levels that exceed federal standards; the Corridor lies within a non-attainment area for eight-hour ozone levels. Access to Dallas-Fort Worth Airport (DFWA) and major activity centers beyond the Fort Worth Transportation Authority's service area is limited due to lack of transit service. Three alternatives, including the commuter rail Alternative, an Alternative involving baseline transportation infrastructure combined with transportation system management, and a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed commuter rail Alternative would operate on portions of the Cotton Belt railroad lines owned by the Fort Worth and Western Railroad, Union Pacific, and Dallas Area Rapid Transit. The commuter rail line would extend from southwest Fort Worth at a point near Sycamore School Road, through downtown Fort Worth, Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Colleyville, and Grapevine to the northern entrance of DFWA. The 37-mile system would be served by stations at the following 15 locations: Sycamore School Road, Interstate 20/Granbury Road, Texas Christian University/Berry, the Medical District, the existing Texas and Pacific Railroad terminal, the existing Fort Worth Intermodal Transportation Center, North Side, Beach Street, Haltom City/US 377, North Richland Hills-Iron Horse, North Richland Hills-Smithfield, Colleyville-John McCain, Grapevine-Main Street, DFWA-North, and DFWA-Terminal A/B. A new bridge would carry the rail line across the Trinity River. This commuter trains would run on an at-grade, single-track line shared with freight trains for nearly the entire route. Diesel multiple-unit technology would be the likely vehicle choice for the commuter rail Alternative. Once operational, the trains would run at 20-minute intervals during the peak morning and evening hours and at 60-minute intervals during midday hours and post-peak evening hours. Capital cost estimates for the commuter rail Alternative range from $502.3 million to $531.3 million in 2008 dollars. Annual operating and maintenance costs are estimated to range from $80.8 million to $81.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The commuter rail Alternative would provide multimodal solutions for mobility in the Corridor that would mitigate congestion and improve air quality. Improved mobility among regional activity centers would ease commuting and boost the local economy. Construction activities would employ 4,090 workers and result in the creation of 2,860 indirect jobs. Seventy percent of the population within one mile of the Corridor are minority group members, who would benefit from improved access without suffering disproportionately from the rail line's adverse impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Station development would require the displacement of three residences and 21 to 24 businesses as well as 61 acres of woodlands that could provide habitat to nine federally protected species.

Construction activities would employ 4,090 workers and result in the creation of 2,860 indirect jobs. Seventy percent of the population within one mile of the Corridor are minority group members, who would benefit from improved access without suffering disproportionately from the rail line's adverse impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Station development would require the displacement of three residences and 21 to 24 businesses as well as 61 acres of woodlands that could provide habitat to nine federally protected species.

AN - 754904868; 14398 AB - PURPOSE: Commuter rail improvements in the Southwest-to-Northeast Rail Corridor serving the cities of Fort Worth, Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Colleyville, and Grapevine in Tarrant County, Texas is proposed. Sustained residential growth and expanding employment opportunities within the Corridor have resulted in increasing travel demand along major roadways. Existing and committed roadway improvements cannot keep pace with increases in traffic volumes on major roadways, resulting in steadily increasing congestion and air pollutant levels that exceed federal standards; the Corridor lies within a non-attainment area for eight-hour ozone levels. Access to Dallas-Fort Worth Airport (DFWA) and major activity centers beyond the Fort Worth Transportation Authority's service area is limited due to lack of transit service. Three alternatives, including the commuter rail Alternative, an Alternative involving baseline transportation infrastructure combined with transportation system management, and a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed commuter rail Alternative would operate on portions of the Cotton Belt railroad lines owned by the Fort Worth and Western Railroad, Union Pacific, and Dallas Area Rapid Transit. The commuter rail line would extend from southwest Fort Worth at a point near Sycamore School Road, through downtown Fort Worth, Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Colleyville, and Grapevine to the northern entrance of DFWA. The 37-mile system would be served by stations at the following 15 locations: Sycamore School Road, Interstate 20/Granbury Road, Texas Christian University/Berry, the Medical District, the existing Texas and Pacific Railroad terminal, the existing Fort Worth Intermodal Transportation Center, North Side, Beach Street, Haltom City/US 377, North Richland Hills-Iron Horse, North Richland Hills-Smithfield, Colleyville-John McCain, Grapevine-Main Street, DFWA-North, and DFWA-Terminal A/B. A new bridge would carry the rail line across the Trinity River. This commuter trains would run on an at-grade, single-track line shared with freight trains for nearly the entire route. Diesel multiple-unit technology would be the likely vehicle choice for the commuter rail Alternative. Once operational, the trains would run at 20-minute intervals during the peak morning and evening hours and at 60-minute intervals during midday hours and post-peak evening hours. Capital cost estimates for the commuter rail Alternative range from $502.3 million to $531.3 million in 2008 dollars. Annual operating and maintenance costs are estimated to range from $80.8 million to $81.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The commuter rail Alternative would provide multimodal solutions for mobility in the Corridor that would mitigate congestion and improve air quality. Improved mobility among regional activity centers would ease commuting and boost the local economy. Construction activities would employ 4,090 workers and result in the creation of 2,860 indirect jobs. Seventy percent of the population within one mile of the Corridor are minority group members, who would benefit from improved access without suffering disproportionately from the rail line's adverse impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Station development would require the displacement of three residences and 21 to 24 businesses as well as 61 acres of woodlands that could provide habitat to nine federally protected species.

Between them, the enterprises have $5.4 trillion of guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and debt outstanding, which is equal to the publicly held debt of the United States. Their market share of all new mortgages reached over 80% earlier this year, but it is now falling. During the turmoil last year, they played a very important role in providing liquidity to the conforming mortgage market. That has required a very careful and delicate balance of mission and safety and soundness. A key component of this balance has been their ability to raise and maintain capital. Given recent market conditions, the balance has been lost. Unfortunately, as house prices, earnings and capital have continued to deteriorate, their ability to fulfill their mission has deteriorated. In particular, the capacity of their capital to absorb further losses while supporting new business activity is in doubt. Today's action addresses safety and soundness concerns. FHFA's rating system is called GSE Enterprise Risk or G-Seer. It stands for Governance, Solvency, Earnings and Enterprise Risk, which includes credit, market and operational risk. There are pervasive weaknesses across the board, which have been getting worse in this market.

AN - 759313729; 13501511 AB - This paper addresses four fundamental questions about the relationship between `smart growth', a fiscally motivated anti-sprawl policy movement, and public finance. Do low-density, spatially extensive land use patterns cost more to support? If so, how large an influence does sprawl actually have? How does the influence differ among types of spending? And, how does it compare with the influence of other relevant factors? The analysis, which is based on the entire continental US and uses a series of spatial econometric models to evaluate one aggregate (total direct) and nine disaggregate (education, fire protection, housing and community development, libraries, parks and recreation, police protection, roadways, sewerage, and solid waste disposal) measures of spending, provides the most detailed evidence to date of how sprawl affects the vast sum of revenue that local governments spend every year.

The results indicate that borrowers who provide even modest downpayments from their own resources have substantially lower default propensities than do borrowers whose downpayments come from relatives, government agencies, or nonprofits. Borrowers with downpayments from seller-funded nonprofits, who make no downpayment at all, have the highest default rates. Eliminating FHA's 3% downpayment causes default to rise far beyond the simple effect of a 3% change in equity.

AN - 198409476 AB - In this article, FHA Commissioner Brian Montgomery discusses the Bush administration's plan to help nearly one-quarter of a million homeowners avoid foreclosure. This initiative will allow those who have missed payments to get an FHA-insured loan. In light of the turmoil caused by the subprime market, not just in the U.S., but in markets worldwide, we are proposing this new FHA refinance product. And we are calling this new product FHASecure. Under FHASecure, borrowers who are otherwise creditworthy but have recently become delinquent on their mortgage would now also be able to participate in all the benefits FHA offers. So families with an otherwise strong credit history but find themselves in default because of the reset in their mortgage rate can now receive some help. This initiative will allow those who have missed payments to get an FHA-insured loan. Through FHASecure, the FHA estimates that it can help an additional 60,000 delinquent yet creditworthy borrowers refinance and do a safer FHA loan.

This empirical study examines two situations: one with both access benefits and negatives, and another without the access benefit. The findings reveal that proximity to the transit corridor alone without direct access conveys a negative impact on nearby housing values.

AN - 198330831 AB - Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson's recent remarks at the Wells Fargo National Housing Symposium 2007: Safeguarding the American Dream, held in Washington, is presented. Some think that homeownership in America has hit a ceiling. It is a bump in the road - a needed correction. It is a housing market that can continue to grow and include millions of Americans who want to become homeowners. But there is work to be done. To stimulate growth in the housing market, some important changes will have to be wisely engineered. One action that is vital is housing counseling. Sound subprime alternatives must be offered and upcoming subprime problems should be addressed to get ahead of the curve. One way to do that is through FHA modernization.

AN - 36340396; 12761 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a road connection from West Main Street to South Limestone Street at Scott Street in Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky is proposed. The study corridor extends 1.5 miles just southwest of the Lexington central business district. Six alternatives, including three build alternatives, a No Action Alternative, a mass transit alternative, and a transportation systems management (TSM) alternative are considered in this final EIS. The mass transit and TSM alternatives were determined to be inadequate or not feasible, though certain aspects of these alternatives are proposed to be included in the ultimate project. The build alternatives, each to be known as the Northwest Pike Extension (NPE), would be a four-lane boulevard with a grassed median, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks extending from West Main Street to South Broadway. One two-lane spur would connect at South Broadway, with another two-lane roadway would run south along Patterson Street, cross over South Broadway on a new bridge, align with Scott Street, and terminate on South Limestone at the University of Kentucky's main gate. The three build alternatives would lie within the same project corridor, differing mainly at their intersections with South Broadway and their impacts to Southend Park, a recreational facility in the Davistown neighborhood. Regardless of the alternative selected, cost of the is estimated at $76.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed extension and improvement of Newton Pike would improve traffic flow of through traffic and draw unnecessary traffic out of the downtown area and improve access to the University of Kentucky's central campus area via more efficient vehicular routings. The project would reduce automobile congestion, improve safety, and improve the bicycle and pedestrian environment. Additionally, the project would provide an opportunity for redefining and improving the attractiveness of the downtown area and of surrounding communities without imposing an unfair burden on other areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The recommended build alternative would displace 35.5 acres of rights-of-way, 36 residential units, and 13 commercial units. The alternative would affect historic resource sites and result in the displacement of land from Southend Park and one other recreational facility. The project would have a significant impacts on the economically disadvantaged Southend Park neighborhood.

AN - 36341492; 12866 AB - PURPOSE: The revitalization of the East River Waterfront via development of a two-mile-long, 17-acre city-owned public open space connecting the Whitehall Ferry Terminal and Peter Minuit Plaza on the south to the East River Park on the north. Under the proposal, the existing esplanade would be enhanced, some new sections of esplanade would be created and several piers would be renovated and redeveloped. The project would consist of a program zone under FDR Drive for pavilions and temporary outdoor activities; a recreation zone along the edge of the water with seating, play spaces, and plantings; and a uniform bikeway/walkway along South Street. In addition, the plan would provide for the construction of a new pedestrian plaza in front of the Battery Maritime Building (BMB), and improvements to Piers 15, 35, 36, and 42, as well as the New Market Building and pier. Although it is analyzed in the final EIS, construction of the plaza fronting the BMB, the replacement for the New market Building, and the urban beach on Pier 42 would be dependent on additional funding, which is still being sought by the city. The project's sponsor, Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, is applying to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for a Community Development Block Grant under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The urban renewal development would improve access to the waterfront, enhance pedestrian connectivity, and create waterfront amenities for public use and enjoyment. The project would enhance efforts to revitalize Lower Manhattan following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Towers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The entire development would lie within the 100-year floodplain. Several scattered commercial parking lots, owned by Propark America, LLC would be displaced, resulting in the loss of revenue and 668 parking spaces. The full survey of historic and archaeological resources has not been completed, but the project would almost certainly affect some resource sites falling into both categories. The visual context of the area would be significantly altered, but most of the planned alterations would enhance visual aesthetics. Numerous hazardous materials would be encountered, both underground and within buildings, during construction. Noise levels within the new open space areas would exceed federal standards for outdoor areas and residences.

AN - 198393544 AB - Excerpts of recent testimony of Department of Housing and Urban Development Inspector General Kenneth Donohue before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on HUD are presented. Relaxed underwriting practices instituted by unscrupulous subprime lenders, the usage of riskier products - adjustable-rate and interest-only loans, coupled with appraisal fraud - and lack of understandable disclosure of loan terms have made it easier for those who do not qualify for prime loans to purchase homes but not retain them. With the current trend of rising interest rates and the resulting payment shock, and low home appreciation - due in part to overbuilding in states, such as Colorado - there will probably be increasing delinquency and foreclosure rates. The author is concerned as to whether FHA is headed in the same direction as the subprime market with its seemingly continued deregulation and introduction of riskier products as part of its proposed reform. We have an industry that is generally profit-driven, and primarily concerned with the bottom line. However, with that should come responsibility. Unlike the mortgage industry that is primarily profit driven, the FHA is mission driven.

AN - 198340538 AB - Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Alphonso Jackson has written an op-ed about the state of the US housing market as well as actions the department is taking to help more families purchaase and maintain their homes. His commentary is presented. Too frequently families with less-than-perfect credit are resorting to high-priced, high-risk exotic mortgage loans to purchase a home. These risky mortgages carry extraordinarily high interest rates and, in many cases, hidden payments. More importantly, these risky mortgages illustrate a famous saying similar to caveat emptor - Let the buyer beware: read the fine print. As more borrowers find themselves unable to make their exceedingly high monthly mortgage payments, loan defaults are increasing, personal credit scores are falling, and some are losing their homes to foreclosure.Fortunately, help may soon be on the way. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development is working to modernize the Federal Housing Administration to meet the needs of today's homebuyers. With bipartisan congressional support, the FHA can regain its stature as a stabilizing force for homeowners.

The proposed HUD budget includes substantial increases to programs that will most certainly benefit Syracuse and her citizens. More money would be available for affordable housing, public housing and homeless assistance. Despite our best efforts, only $1.2 billion of the $10.4 billion HUD has allocated has been spent thus far. I share the frustrations of Katrina victims' with the pace of rebuilding, but the delay is not from HUD. I recently explained to a House committee why HUD plans to redevelop four public housing developments in New Orleans. This is extremely emotional and I am sensitive to families who are upset that HUD and the Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO) intend to replace these four aging and crime-ridden developments with new, attractive mixed-income communities.

The three-equation multiplicative model of population change, employment change, and land absorption is estimated using three-stage least squares to account for endogeneity among the dependent variables and contemporaneous correlation across the system of equations. In addition to the core model, alternative specifications are estimated, imposing the initial conditions of size, land availability, and economic structure. The stability of the solutions is then examined using reduced-form equations estimated via the seemingly unrelated regression equations approach. The results reveal substantive evidence that population and employment growth are jointly determined, of how the two affect the outcome of land development, and, perhaps most importantly, stable and fractionally reasonable estimates at projected equilibrium points. Lastly, the adapted model controlling for the initial condition of land availability is used to project patterns of land consumption at equilibrium in 50 rapid-growth metropolitan areas.

AN - 36348299; 12526 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction and widening of Interstate 29/35 (I-29/35), including a new bridge over the Missouri River and roadways in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area of Clay and Jackson Counties, Missouri are proposed. The study corridor extends 4.7 miles from just north of Missouri Route 210 (M-210) at Armour Road in Clay County and continues south on I-29/35 (US 71) to the northwest corner of the central business district (CBD) freeway loop in downtown Kansas City. The existing four-lane facility within the corridor carries over 90,000 vehicled per day, resulting in extreme congestion during peak travel periods. The freeway has been identified in various planning documents as an important local and regional transportation link. The proposed project includes the north side of the CBD loop, designated as both I-35/70 and US 24/40. The Missouri River crossing (Paseo Bridge) would be rehabilitated and complemented with a new companion bridge or replaced with an entirely new structure. Six combination alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. The action alternatives would be used by the contract builder in a "Design-Build" process by which design and construction of the facility would take place simultaneously. In a typical Design-Build scheme, construction begins once 30 percent of the design is complete. However, preferred alternatives have been identified for each of three subcorridors. The preferred alternative for the North Subcorridor (M-210 to 14th Avenue) would involve widening the mainline to six through lanes, with sufficient rights-of-way to enable future widening to eight lanes and improving the interchange at the M-210/Armour Road interchange and the half interchange at 16th Avenue. For the River Crossing Subcorridor (14th Avenue to Dora Street), the preferred alternative would involve either rehabilitation of the Paseo Bridge for southbound traffic and construction of a companion bridge immediately downstream of the existing bridge to carry northbound traffic or construction of new twin bridges each carrying traffic in one direction or one new single span accommodating two-way traffic. Either River Crossing Subcorridor alternative would include widening of the I-29/35 mainline and construction of braided ramps at Bedford Avenue and Levee Road and an improved interchange at Front Street. The preferred alternative for the CBD North Loop Subcorridor (Dora Street to Broadway Boulevard) would include widening of the I-29/35 mainline from Dora Street to the northeast corner of the CBD Loop, while maintaining the six-lane mainline section from the northeast corner of the CBD Loop to just west of Broadway Boulevard, though the latter section would be improved via ramp and lane modifications. The total cost of the preferred alternative, including all modifications from M-210 to Broadway, is estimated to range from $213 million to $231 million in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvement of the Missouri River crossing and ancillary roads and structures would replace the existing deteriorating bridge and main road infrastructure and improve the associated interchanges, enhancing traffic safety, improving interstate system linkage across the Missouri River, and providing sufficient vehicle capacity, including capacity for trucks, within the study corridor. The reconstructed facility would improve traffic operation to accommodate travel demands across the Missouri River and improve access to the Kansas CBD and other major activity centers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in full displacement of two businesses and partial displacement of four single-family units, one multi-family unit, 10 businesses, and two public/semi-public facilities. The project could have some impacts on neighborhood cohesion, but these impacts would be slight. The facility would traverse 1,900 to 2,150 feet of floodplain, displacing 1.59 to 1.88 acres of storage capacity. The project would impact the Riverfront Heritage Trail, and demolition or alteration of the Paseo Bridge would alter or eliminate a structure eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Two archaeological sites or interest would also be affected. New construction across the Missouri River would mar visual aesthetics in the area somewhat. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards at 106 sensitive noise receptors within the corridor. Construction workers would encounter one or two hazardous waste sites.

AN - 198359204 AB - Federal Housing Administration was created in 1934 to serve as an innovator in the mortgage market, to meet the needs of citizens otherwise underserved by the private sector, to stabilize local and regional housing markets and to support the national economy. This mission is still very relevant, perhaps now more so than ever. Moreover, the FHA model represents the very best of what government can and should do. Since its inception, FHA has helped more than 34 million Americans become homeowners. By operating through a private distribution network, FHA efficiently reaches families in need of safe and affordable home financing. Simply put, FHA insurance protects lenders against loss, enabling these private sector partners to offer market-rate mortgages to homebuyers who would otherwise remain unserved or underserved. FHA provides a substantial benefit to families, communities and the entire national economy. Let me explain. In recent years, FHA's outdated statutory authority has left the agency out of synch with the rest of the lending industry. As the dynamic mortgage market passed FHA by, many homebuyers - first-time homebuyers, minority homebuyers and homebuyers with less- than-perfect credit - were left with fewer safe and affordable options. FHA reform is designed to give homebuyers who can't qualify for prime financing a choice again. Moreover, the FHA bill proposes changes that will strengthen FHA's financial position, improving FHA's ability to mitigate and compensate for risk. The proposed changes would permit FHA to operate like every other insurance company in the nation, pricing its products commensurate with the risk.

Weicher Assistant Secretary for Housing/Federal Housing Administration Commissioner at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, discusses trends in homelessness and housing conditions. His main sources of data are the American Housing Survey (AHS) and special surveys on homeless- ness. Because of the dearth of post-1996 data, he focuses on trends before welfare reform. In regard to homelessness, Weicher explains that few reliable data are available, so that estimates of the total number of homeless people are problematic. He estimates that about 600,000 people are homeless in an average week, and that the estimate can vary over the course of a year. The most recent national data are for 1996 and serve as a baseline from which to observe trends. At present, virtually no evidence indicates that homelessness has increased (or decreased) since the passage of welfare reform. Adapted from the source document.

While researchers stress the importance of individual-level socio-economic status, others contend that a city's political landscape is an influential force in determining political engagement. Using a comparative ethnographic approach, this study explores how the distinct political situations in New York City (NYC) and Chicago relate to the proliferation of protest politics concerning displacement in two revitalizing African American communities. Harlem in NYC and Bronzeville in Chicago are currently experiencing major economic transformations. After middle-class flight and years of economic abandonment, these areas are experiencing an influx of commercial and residential investment, rapidly changing them from low to more mixed-income environments. Despite a substantial amount of positive media attention, there is little community consensus about the redevelopment that is occurring, since it is associated with displacement. Although these communities have similar socio-economic characteristics, the extent of protest politics stemming from these areas is vastly disparate; activism is much more pervasive in Harlem. NYC and Chicago have drastically different political landscapes, NYC's political system is fragmented and characterized as pluralistic, while Chicago has a centralized political machine. NYC's diverse political system facilitates contested politics while Chicago's monolithic party machine is associated with limited Black-led opposition. This study contributes to the notion that structural forces emanating from the city level strongly influence African American community politics. Adapted from the source document.

US President Bush committed the federal government and the housing industry to reach an additional five million minority homebuyers by the end of 2010, but the agency most suited to reaching these families was falling behind. FHA was falling behind for a variety of reasons, from outdated business practices to cumbersome program requirements. Over the last six months, we have made significant changes, streamlining and realigning FHA's operating procedures. While these changes are good and long overdue, they are not enough, a point that FHA's industry partners have clearly conveyed. Therefore, FHA is now requesting that we amend the law to give FHA the flexibility it needs to fulfill its original mission in today's marketplace.

Today, it is possible to differentiate between types of borrowers, and riskier borrowers can participate in credit markets if they are willing to pay relatively higher borrowing costs. Hence, a more critical issue concerning the performance of these markets should be whether loan prices correctly reflect the level of borrower credit risk. This paper reexamines consumer participation in credit markets looking specifically at issues related to the pricing of borrowers of different credit risk.

AN - 16354672; 11985 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction and widening of Interstate 29/35 (I-29/35), including a new bridge over the Missouri River and roadways in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area of Clay and Jackson Counties, Missouri are proposed. The study corridor extends 4.7 miles from just north of Missouri Route 210 (M-210) at Armour Road in Clay County and continues south on I-29/35 (US 71) to the northwest corner of the central business district (CBD) freeway loop in downtown Kansas City. The existing four-lane facility within the corridor carries over 90,000 vehicles per day, resulting in extreme congestion during peak travel periods. The freeway has been identified in various planning documents as an important local and regional transportation link. The proposed project includes the north side of the CBD loop, designated as both I-35/70 and US 24/40. The Missouri River crossing (Paseo Bridge) would be rehabilitated and complemented with a new companion bridge or replaced with an entirely new structure. Six combination alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. The action alternatives would be used by the contract builder in a "Design-Build" process by which design and construction of the facility would take place simultaneously. In a typical Design-Build scheme, construction begins once 30 percent of the design is complete. However, preferred alternatives have been identified for each of three subcorridors. The preferred alternative for the North Subcorridor (M-210 to 14th Avenue) would involve widening the mainline to six through lanes, with sufficient rights-of-way to enable future widening to eight lanes and improving the interchange at the M-210/Armour Road interchange and the half interchange at 16th Avenue. For the River Crossing Subcorridor (14th Avenue to Dora Street), the preferred alternative would involve either rehabilitation of the Paseo Bridge for southbound traffic and construction of a companion bridge immediately downstream of the existing bridge to carry northbound traffic or construction of new twin bridges each carrying traffic in one direction or one new single span accommodating two-way traffic. Either River Crossing Subcorridor alternative would include widening of the I-29/35 mainline and construction of braided ramps at Bedford Avenue and Levee Road and an improved interchange at Front Street. The preferred alternative for the CBD North Loop Subcorridor (Dora Street to Broadway Boulevard) would include widening of the I-29/35 mainline from Dora Street to the northeast corner of the CBD Loop, while maintaining the six-lane mainline section from the northeast corner of the CBD Loop to just west of Broadway Boulevard, though the latter section would be improved via ramp and lane modifications. All subcorridor alternatives have been organized and identified as alternatives 4 and 6 for consideration of costs and impacts. Estimated capital costs for alternatives 4 and 6 are $248 million and $258 million, respectively. Additional costs unique to bridge work are estimated at $3.5 million to $39.5 million for either alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvement of the Missouri River crossing and ancillary roads and structures would replace the existing deteriorating bridge and main road infrastructure and improve the associated interchanges, enhancing traffic safety, improving interstate system linkage across the Missouri River, and providing sufficient vehicle capacity, including capacity for trucks, within the study corridor. The reconstructed facility would improve traffic operation to accommodate travel demands across the Missouri River and improve access to the Kansas CBD and other major activity centers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in full displacement of two businesses and partial displacement of four single-family units, one multi-family unit, 10 businesses, and two public/semi-public facilities. The project could have some impacts on neighborhood cohesion, but these impacts would be slight. The facility would traverse 1,900 to 2,150 feet of floodplain, displacing 1.59 to 1.88 acres of storage capacity. The project would impact the Riverfront Heritage Trail, and demolition or alteration of the Paseo Bridge would alter or eliminate a structure eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Two archaeological sites or interest would also be affected. New construction across the Missouri River would mar visual aesthetics in the area somewhat. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards at 106 sensitive noise receptors within the corridor. Construction workers would encounter one or two hazardous waste sites.

Regional analyses indicate no differences in mean level of pesticide loading between the four Census regions (0.08 < p < 0.88). Results show that there is the potential for exposure to pesticides in child care centers.

Doing so would make the regulator more comparable in terms of stature, powers, authority and resources to other financial regulators charged with safety and soundness oversight.

(2) How does the impact of welfare reform compare for families with and without housing assistance? (3) Does welfare reform increase or decrease the use of such assistance? Although public housing residents may be more disadvantaged than welfare recipients who do not get housing assistance, voucher users and Section 8 project-based recipients were not. Welfare reform had similar impacts on the earnings and welfare benefits of families that received housing assistance and those that did not. Where impacts did differ, they were larger for families receiving assistance. Welfare reform also reduced the receipt of housing assistance. Families that receive assistance appear to have less financial strain than families that do not, suggesting that assistance may increase overall financial stability.

AN - 36372602; 060154D-050544_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a road connection from West Main Street to South Limestone Street at Scott Street in Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky is proposed. The study corridor extends 1.5 miles just southwest of the Lexington central business district. Six alternatives, including three build alternatives, a No Action Alternative, a mass transit alternative, and a transportation systems management alternative are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives, each to be known as the Northwest Pike Extension (NPE), would be a four-lane boulevard with a grassed median, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks extending from West Main Street to South Broadway. One two-lane spur would connect at South Broadway, with another two-lane roadway would run south along Patterson Street, cross over South Broadway on a new bridge, align with Scott Street, and terminate on South Limestone at the University of Kentucky's main gate. The three build alternatives would lie within the same project corridor, differing mainly at their intersections with South Broadway and their impacts to Southend Park, a recreational facility in the Davistown neighborhood. Regardless of the alternative selected, cost of the is estimated at f$74.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed extension and improvement of Newton Pike would improve traffic flow of through traffic and draw unnecessary traffic out of the downtown area and improve access to the University of Kentucky's central campus area via more efficient vehicular routings. The project would reduce automobile congestion, improve safety, and improve the bicycle and pedestrian environment. Additionally, the project would provide an opportunity for redefining and improving the attractiveness of the downtown area and of surrounding communities without imposing an unfair burden on other areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The recommended build alternative would displace 35.5 acres of rights-of-way, 46 residential units, and 12 commercial units. The alternative would require affect historic resources and result in the displacement of land from Southend Park.

AN - 16355835; 11859 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a road connection from West Main Street to South Limestone Street at Scott Street in Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky is proposed. The study corridor extends 1.5 miles just southwest of the Lexington central business district. Six alternatives, including three build alternatives, a No Action Alternative, a mass transit alternative, and a transportation systems management alternative are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives, each to be known as the Northwest Pike Extension (NPE), would be a four-lane boulevard with a grassed median, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks extending from West Main Street to South Broadway. One two-lane spur would connect at South Broadway, with another two-lane roadway would run south along Patterson Street, cross over South Broadway on a new bridge, align with Scott Street, and terminate on South Limestone at the University of Kentucky's main gate. The three build alternatives would lie within the same project corridor, differing mainly at their intersections with South Broadway and their impacts to Southend Park, a recreational facility in the Davistown neighborhood. Regardless of the alternative selected, cost of the is estimated at f$74.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed extension and improvement of Newton Pike would improve traffic flow of through traffic and draw unnecessary traffic out of the downtown area and improve access to the University of Kentucky's central campus area via more efficient vehicular routings. The project would reduce automobile congestion, improve safety, and improve the bicycle and pedestrian environment. Additionally, the project would provide an opportunity for redefining and improving the attractiveness of the downtown area and of surrounding communities without imposing an unfair burden on other areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The recommended build alternative would displace 35.5 acres of rights-of-way, 46 residential units, and 12 commercial units. The alternative would require affect historic resources and result in the displacement of land from Southend Park. The project would have a significant impacts on the economically disadvantaged Southend Park neighborhood.

He said the homeownership rate in America has never been higher than it is today. Nearly 70% of the population owns a home. Minority homeownership is up across the country - in fact, it's over 50% for the first time ever. The Bush administration is helping families buy homes through programs like the American Dream Downpayment Initiative, which is delivering $161 million to more than 400 state and local governments across the country this year. These grant dollars will help first-time homebuyers with their downpayment and closing costs, which researchers say represent the single greatest obstacle to homeownership. To help even more Americans achieve their dreams of homeownership, the president recently set a goal of increasing the supply of affordable housing by 7 million over the next 10 years. That's achievable if Congress enacts the President's Homeownership Tax Credit.

AN - 36413849; 11280 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 100 miles, to be designated as Interstate 69 (I-69) from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. I-69 has been defined by the U.S Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of 1,600 miles. Portions of I-69 north and south of the project under consideration are presently undergoing planning. In addition to a No-Build Alternative a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this draft EIS addresses three build alternatives, each of which is divided into three sections. Depending on the alternative selected, estimated cost of the project ranges from $1.0 billion to $1.1 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to inter-modal facilities and major ports along the corridor, facilitate the safe and efficient movement of persons and goods by fostering a reduction in accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas also the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,058 to 8,296 acres, 39 to 69 residences, three to four businesses, 70 to 207 acres of wetlands, 1,067 to 1,507 acres of floodplain, 179 to 299 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, The purchase of 15 to 27 conservation easements would be necessary. From 12,560 to 17,660 linear feet of channel along 27 to 36 streams would require relocation, as would nine to 13 transmission lines extending a total of 2,680 to 5,200 feet and 22 to 28 feet of gas pipeline extending a total of 72,065 to 101,205 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of up to four sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect four historic and nine to 16 archaeological sites. From 44.3 to 54 percent of the corridor would pass through areas with significant minority populations, disproportionately affecting these populations. Construction workers would encounter nine to 14 hazardous material sites.

AN - 36359959; 10815-040263_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The demolition or refurbishment of the Marysville Hotel in downtown Marysville, Yuba County, California is proposed, and several alternatives are considered for the reuse of the site. The hotel has been vacant since the 1980s and is now in disrepair. Under Alternative 1, the hotel would be demolished and a parking lot created on the project site. Under Alternative 2, the hotel would be refurbished and reduced for mixed commercial (first floor) and residential (upper floors) use. The commercial uses would consist of approximately 8,000 square feet of retail space along E and Fifth streets and 6,000 square feet of event space in the original lobby. The residential uses would consist of a maximum of 60 market-rate, one-bedroom apartments, with an average size of 700 square feet. Under Alternative 3, the hotel would be refurbished and reused for mixed commercial and senior affordable residential use. The first two floors of the structure would be rehabilitated for commercial uses, and the upper floors would be rehabilitated for senior affordable residential use. The commercial uses would cover approximately 17,100 square feet of commercial space. The residential uses would consist of 688 subsidized senior apartments; the apartments would be one-bedroom floor plans, with an average size of 600 square feet. Under the No Action Alternative, the building would remain in its current condition. Key issues addresses in this EIS include those related to air quality, cultural resources, land use, noise levels, hazardous materials, and traffic. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Demolition of the hotel and its replacement with a parking facility would ease parking restrictions in downtown Marysville and reduce on-street parking, thereby improving traffic flow in the immediate area. Provision of commercial space and housing would add to stocks of both, and Alternative 3 would provide housing for a disadvantaged population in an advantageous location. Any of the action alternatives would contribute to the revitalization of the downtown area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Demolition or refurbishing of the hotel would result in the loss of alteration of a structure eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. Construction of a parking facility at the site would conflict with city plans and policies for redevelopment of the area, and the availability of the parking lot would result in reduced levels of service at certain intersections in the area and degrade area aesthetics.

[Part 43 of 58] T2 - WORLD TRADE CENTER MEMORIAL AND REDEVELOPMENT PLAN IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK. AN - 36365322; 10738-040185_0043 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of the World Trade Center (WTC) Memorial and Redevelopment Plan in the Borough of Manhattan, New York County, New York is proposed in this generic EIS. The WTC stood as a symbol of New York as a global center of commerce and of the soaring aspirations of the city. On September 11, 2001, two passenger jetliners were flown by terrorists into the WTC buildings, resulting in the destruction of both structures and resulting in the loss of thousands of lives. The significant loss of life, jobs, and commercial space on Manhattan has affected the vitality of the Financial District and continues to pose a threat to the financial, emotional, and cultural vitality of Lower Manhattan. The project site for the LTC plan encompasses approximately 16 acres bounded by Liberty, Church, and Vesey streets and Route 9A. The adjacent sites, which are also included in planning, include the Southern Site, bounded by Albany, Greenwich, Liberty, and Washington streets, and the below-grade portion of Site 26, bounded by Vesey, West, and Murray streets. The memorial site would include a memorial, a museum, and cultural buildings in the southwest quadrant, which is the location of the destroyed towers. The tallest structure in the complex, Freedom Tower, would be situated at the northwest corner of the WTC site. The other four proposed towers would descent in height clockwise to the fifth tower on the Southern Site. The plan would incorporate open space, commercial, cultural, and retail space. Approximately 10 million square feet of above-ground Class A office space would be provided, as would one million square feet of retail space, a hotel providing up to 800 rooms and up to 150,000 square feet of conference space, new open space areas as well as the museum and cultural facilities and the required infrastructural improvements, including extensive underground parking. The WTC complex would be scheduled for completion in 2015. A total of nine alternatives, including the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to revitalizing the Financial District and, thereby, improving the economic outlook of a regional and national center of commerce, plan implementation would stand as a symbol for antiterrorist resolve, lifting the sprit of the nation and demonstrating the strength of the United States to the international community. The facility would provide thousands of jobs for local and regional workers and generally bolster the economy of New York City and the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in the release of toxic air pollutants and dust and exacerbate traffic congestion in the area. Upon completion of the buildings, activities taking place within the site would contribute to vehicular traffic, consumption of energy and water, and solid and liquid waste generation. The towers would cast large shadows and alter wind patterns in the area. Archaeological and historic sites would be disturbed and the historic setting resulting from the disaster would be altered. The extent of open space would decline as compared to that provided prior to the disaster. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (49 U.S.C. 303).

The tallest structure in the complex, Freedom Tower, would be situated at the northwest corner of the WTC site. The other four proposed towers would descent in height clockwise to the fifth tower on the Southern Site. The plan would incorporate open space, commercial, cultural, and retail space. Approximately 10 million square feet of above-ground Class A office space would be provided, as would one million square feet of retail space, a hotel providing up to 800 rooms and up to 150,000 square feet of conference space, new open space areas as well as the museum and cultural facilities and the required infrastructural improvements, including extensive underground parking. The WTC complex would be scheduled for completion in 2015. A total of nine alternatives, including the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to revitalizing the Financial District and, thereby, improving the economic outlook of a regional and national center of commerce, plan implementation would stand as a symbol for antiterrorist resolve, lifting the sprit of the nation and demonstrating the strength of the United States to the international community. The facility would provide thousands of jobs for local and regional workers and generally bolster the economy of New York City and the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in the release of toxic air pollutants and dust and exacerbate traffic congestion in the area. Upon completion of the buildings, activities taking place within the site would contribute to vehicular traffic, consumption of energy and water, and solid and liquid waste generation. The towers would cast large shadows and alter wind patterns in the area. Archaeological and historic sites would be disturbed and the historic setting resulting from the disaster would be altered. The extent of open space would decline as compared to that provided prior to the disaster. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (49 U.S.C. 303).

AN - 36364964; 10738-040185_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of the World Trade Center (WTC) Memorial and Redevelopment Plan in the Borough of Manhattan, New York County, New York is proposed in this generic EIS. The WTC stood as a symbol of New York as a global center of commerce and of the soaring aspirations of the city. On September 11, 2001, two passenger jetliners were flown by terrorists into the WTC buildings, resulting in the destruction of both structures and resulting in the loss of thousands of lives. The significant loss of life, jobs, and commercial space on Manhattan has affected the vitality of the Financial District and continues to pose a threat to the financial, emotional, and cultural vitality of Lower Manhattan. The project site for the LTC plan encompasses approximately 16 acres bounded by Liberty, Church, and Vesey streets and Route 9A. The adjacent sites, which are also included in planning, include the Southern Site, bounded by Albany, Greenwich, Liberty, and Washington streets, and the below-grade portion of Site 26, bounded by Vesey, West, and Murray streets. The memorial site would include a memorial, a museum, and cultural buildings in the southwest quadrant, which is the location of the destroyed towers. The tallest structure in the complex, Freedom Tower, would be situated at the northwest corner of the WTC site. The other four proposed towers would descent in height clockwise to the fifth tower on the Southern Site. The plan would incorporate open space, commercial, cultural, and retail space. Approximately 10 million square feet of above-ground Class A office space would be provided, as would one million square feet of retail space, a hotel providing up to 800 rooms and up to 150,000 square feet of conference space, new open space areas as well as the museum and cultural facilities and the required infrastructural improvements, including extensive underground parking. The WTC complex would be scheduled for completion in 2015. A total of nine alternatives, including the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS.
