DESCRIPTION: |
The purpose of this expanded Project Proposal
(EPP) report is to provide information regarding the proposed
construction project to Federal, State and local agencies as well as to
public officials, advisory groups and interested individuals. This
report will also serve as the Scoping Document, and evolve into the
Design Approval Document (DAD) in later design phases, addressing the
existing conditions, proposed action, desired objectives ad related
social, economic and environmental impacts.
This project consists of the
reconstruction of county Road 57 (Bay Shore Road - Howell’s Road) in the
Towns of Babylon and Islip. The project limits are NYS Route 231 (Deer
Park Avenue) and NYS Route 27 (Sunrise Highway). County Road 57 (Bay
Shore Road - Howell’s Road) in the project are is primarily a two-lane
roadway and not adequate to serve traffic volumes presently using the
corridor. The objective of this project is to increase the capacity of
CR57 to accommodate current traffic volumes, as well as those projected
to exist twenty years after the completion of the construction.
Additionally, project goals are to upgrade the existing pavement and
drainage system and, most importantly, increase safety through the use
of improved roadway geometry, traffic control devices and safety
appurtenances.
