This is N.C.P.C.'s rubber stamp resolution for this November 1, 2001 meeting endorsing the 11th hour deletion of environmental mitigation:
WOODROW WILSON BRIDGE REPLACEMENT
REVISED DESIGN PLANS FOR THE URBAN DECK
AT WASHINGTON STREET (GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL PARKWAY)
City of Alexandria, Virginia
Report to the Federal Highway Administration and the National Park Service
November 1, 2001
Abstract
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has requested that the Commission review revised preliminary and final design plans for one element of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Replacement Project related to mitigation of the approved bridge design. This feature is the urban deck overpass at Washington Street in Alexandria, Virginia. Highway officials began constructing the foundations for the new bridge in the fall of 2000 and pier construction will begin in late 2001. The submitted revised design plans convey a design effort providing a unified appearance for this western element of the Virginia portion of the river crossing. The FHWA will continue to work with all stakeholders, including the Commission, to refine elements of the preliminary and final design plans for the Jones Point Park and Maryland Potomac
River Waterfront Community Park as those sections of the Woodrow Wilson Replacement Bridge project move toward finalization.
Authority
Pursuant to Section 5 of the National Capital Planning Act of 1952, as amended (40 USC 71d).
Commission Action
The Commission:
Recognizes the FHWA’s inclusive efforts in developing the final design plans for the urban deck at Washington Street as part of the Wilson Bridge Replacement, and encourages FHWA to continue this level of thoroughness in the development of both Jones Point Park and the Maryland portion of the Bridge Project as it is coordinated with, and submitted to, this Commission.
