FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T <br />HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR ABOUT THE PROJECT, IF YOU DON'T <br />KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING, WE WANT YOUR INPUT. WE WANT TO TRY AND <br />FINISH THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESS. AND IN DOING 50, WE WANT TO <br />COVER ALL ISSUES RELATED TO THE PROJECT. <br />"WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />STATEMENT ?" THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT IDENTIFIES <br />SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE <br />PROPOSED PROJECT, AND ALSO WAYS TO MITIGATE THESE ADVERSE <br />IMPACTS. FOR EXAMPLE, AT LOCATIONS ON BRISTOL WHERE NOISE <br />STANDARDS ARE EXCEEDED, WE WOULD IDENTIFY MITIGATION MEASURES <br />TO BUILD SOUND BARRIERS AT THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION. THESE <br />ARE THE TYPES OF MITIGATION MEASURES THAT WE INCLUDE IN THE <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT. <br />"WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE ON THE PROJECT'" <br />THIS PROJECT WAS INITIATED IN 1985. AT THAT TIME THE CITY <br />HIRED WILLDAN CONSULTANTS TO HELP US PREPARE THE DRAFT <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT. WE'VE HELD NINE PUBLIC <br />MEETINGS. THE FIRST TWO WERE SCOPING MEETINGS WITH THE <br />COMMUNITY, AND WE WENT OUT AND ASKED WHAT THEIR CONCERNS WERE <br />WITH THE PROJECT AND ASKED WHAT THEY THOUGHT WERE IMPORTANT <br />ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO THE BRISTOL STREET WIDENING PROJECT. <br />WE ALSO HELD FIVE PUBLIC MEETINGS LAST SUMMER. THIS IS PART <br />M <br />i <br />i <br />i <br />i <br />l <br />i <br />
