Stop PennDOT’s P3 Bridge Tolling Initiative
Another chance to let PennDOT know your concerns about tolls on two bridge replacements along Interstate 80 is available through an in-person public hearing on May 4.
PennDOT, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), will host a public hearing and receive public comment in-person, online and by mail on an Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared for the I-80 Canoe Creek Bridges Project in Clarion County. The in-person public hearing will take place from 3:30-7 p.m. May 4, at Wolf's Den Banquet & Conference Facility, 291 Timberwolf Run, Knox. An open house display on the project will begin at 3:30 p.m. with public testimony starting at 4:30 p.m. All materials that will be presented during the open house, including a project overview, maps, low-income tolling details, diversion route improvements and EA documents, are available online and accessible on-demand at www.penndot.pa.gov/i80CanoeCreek now through May 19. PennDOT and FHWA encourage the public to review and comment on the EA during this 30-day period. The EA will be available at physical locations (listed below) and online until 11:59 p.m. on May 19 at www.penndot.pa.gov/i80CanoeCreek. Several options exist to provide comments on this environmental assessment: • Testimony will be received at the in-person hearing before an audience with a stenographer. Those providing testimony are asked to register in advance at www.penndot.pa.gov/i80CanoeCreek or by calling 814-201-9939. Oral testimony will be limited to five minutes per participant and the number of slots will depend on available time. • Individuals may provide testimony privately in a separate hearing room with a stenographer. • Written comments may be brought to the in-person hearing, completed at the event and deposited in a comment box, or mailed to: PennDOT District 10, Attn: 1-80 Canoe Creek Bridges Project, 2550 Oakland Avenue, Indiana, PA 15701-3388. • Comments may be emailed to i80CanoeCreek@pa.gov. • The public may provide comments through the form available online at www.penndot.pa.gov/i80CanoeCreek. • Comment forms will be provided at the in-person Public Hearing and at locations where the EA is available for review. The locations where the public can review a physical copy of the environmental assessment documents are: • Knox Public Library, 305 N. Main St., Knox, PA 16232 • Knox Borough Building, 620 S.
