SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The FHWA issued a Draft Environmental Impact Statement on September 14, 1995, for the proposed construction of a new US-23 freeway from the vicinity of Standish, Michigan, notherly to the vicinity of Tawas, Michigan. A public hearing was conducted on October 25 and 26, 1995, to solicit public comments on the proposed freeway. Comments were also solicited from environmental resource agencies, permitting agencies, and others interested in the proposed freeway. Based on comments received from this process coupled with limited funding for a proposed new freeway, the Michigan Department of Transportation and FHWA have decided to select the NO BUILD alternative at this time. Limited traffic improvements along existing roadways will be pursued in lieu of a freeway or new alignment.
