The NY State Dept. of Environmental Conservation recently reported that NY State DOT "has determined that the proposed Route 347 Reconstruction, Northern State Parkway to Route 25A may have a significant adverse impact on the environment" and will accordingly prepare a draft environmental impact statement for the project. We thought that NYSDOT had begun this EIS as early as four years ago (the Campaign testified at a scoping meeting in Hauppauge in May 2000 —MTR #269) and queries over the last year about the project’s status have been met with obtuse and murky replies from DOT’s Long Island office, which requires that such questions be processed by its apparently chronically overburdened records office. Thanks to the DEC for a rare moment of clarity.
