| 摘要： | This Environmental Assessment (EA) addresses the plans of the National Park Service (NPS) to rehabilitate North Shore Road (Route 20), modify Cinnamon Bay Parking Area and construct Cruz Bay Overlook (Lind Point) in the Virgin Islands National Park, St. John Island, U.S. Virgin Islands. The location of this proposed project is along North Shore Road, on the northern side of St. John Island. The roadway pavement currently shows signs of medium to severe longitudinal cracking with rutting occurring on the gravel shoulders. The proposed construction includes pavement spot reconstruction and overlay, installation of paved waterways on eroded shoulders, replacement/installation of concrete low water crossings, and miscellaneous safety improvements. Along with simply repairing the road, the NPS would like to add traffic-calming devices such as rumble strips, signs and pavement markings to discourage high speeds along North Shore Road. The Park=s goal is to improve the safety and operation of North Shore Road. Although safety was the major concern, serious thought and effort were given to preserve the Parks natural and cultural resources by minimizing impacts to the environment. This document determines which aspects of the proposed action have potential for social, economic, or environmental impact and it identifies measures that may mitigate adverse environmental impacts. The review of other alternatives is also presented as is the public involvement and coordination/consultation with other Government agencies. |
