Comments and Responses-Letter 92 <br />12. Louise Peterson <br />After the issuance of the draft <br />EIS, the Gateway site alternative <br />(Alternative 3) was deemed <br />impractical and has been <br />eliminated from further <br />consideration. Alternative site 3 <br />was eliminated from further <br />consideration because it lies <br />within the 500-Year Floodplain <br />for the McKenzie River, has <br />inadequate public transportation, <br />and suffers from a significant <br />shortage of public parking. <br />12.1-Although access to the <br />Gateway (Sony) site by <br />automobile may be convenient for <br />residents of the outlying area, the <br />site has a major parking <br />deficiency that would cause a <br />significant impact on traffic in the <br />area unless the GSA provides <br />additional parking spaces. In <br />addition, the Gateway site is not <br />adequately served by public <br />transit for the proposed federal <br />courthouse use. <br />12.2--Comment acknowledged. <br />Utter 12 <br />Louise Feterson <br />~»-~,~ iā€ž,.~.a..,~.ueQ.~.t~ <br />~.,,an.,a.. ~-r^.,%'...w,.o,~.- tom..-~..' <br />Vim,,,ā€ž ham.-. +~r~.~z-ova.s f'aa.~ <br />P r <br />12.1 ~i[1- .a~.: c.+~ --~~ybs1...•-7~c.i... -"'S`c~rw <br />w <br />~o.c- 1. ~ <br />ā€žz,.-.,..i:~c:. ~,-.: ~~C. ,,,..,ate: ,~..<.~z..~.:-L-°..e..,,a:-~.. <br />122 Cc::.a-~`a"::t ~.-t::...~-s..,.~:t.- ~n-4~. <br />.i:a. ='f:.r.,~c:.:_ ,urca..~~ ~rs.:.,oc,kx~, yf4"'.,.-- <br />.a.-a~ ~ f.,ww.....--. <br />/~ ye 4~.u....c~c, . <br />Final EIS 194 New Federal Courthouse <br />
