ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING MEETING <br />BRISTOL STREET WIDENING PROJECT <br />FIRST STREET TO WARNER AVENUE <br />DATE: Wednesday, November 13, 1985 <br />TIME: Open House - 6:00 P.M. - 6:45 p.m. <br />Presentation - 7:00 P.M. - 9:00 P.M. <br />PLACE: Carr Auditorium <br />Carr Intermediate School <br />2120 West Edinger <br />WHAT IS A SCOPING MEETING? <br />Scoping meetings are often the first contact between supporters of a <br />proposal, project opponents, and the concerned public. Hopefully, <br />people on both sides of an issue will be present at the meeting and <br />will speak on those issues. <br />The Scoping Meeting has limited objectives: <br />1) To identify the affected public and agency concerns. <br />2) To define the issues and alternatives that will be examined in <br />detail. <br />3) To save time in the overall process by helping to ensure that <br />the environmental document adequately focuses upon the relevant <br />issues, reducing the possibility that new comments will cause a <br />document to be rewritten or supplemented and thereby delay the <br />Project's progress. <br />In some cases, the scoping process can also enable early <br />identification of serious environmental problems which can be <br />avoided by redirecting engineering efforts. Essentially, the goal <br />of scoping is to lay a firm foundation for the rest of the decision <br />making process. <br />At this time, no decision has been made regarding the Bristol Street <br />Widening. Further studies will determine which properties need to be <br />acquired for street widening purposes. The public hearing process is <br />the time for the community to raise environmental conerns. <br />THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION. <br />75C -358 <br />
