The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) conducted a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Public Hearing on Thursday, October 29, 2009 to discuss the State Route 18 (SR-18) Improvement Project from State Route 100 in Hardeman County to State Route 5 (U.S. 45) in Madison County.
Previous Public Involvement Meeting
A previous Public Meeting was held for the project on November 22, 2004 at the South Jackson
Community Center in Jackson, Tennessee. The purpose of that meeting was to introduce the public to the project and give them an opportunity to provide input related to the purpose and need for the project and potential project alternatives.
A total of 191 people signed-in at the meeting. Two state senators and two state representatives were in attendance, as well as county officials from Hardeman and Madison Counties, and local officials from the cities of Bolivar, Jackson, and Medon.
Four alternative routes were shown on aerial photos as wall displays for viewing. A handout document with project location map was also available, showing the alternative routes but also breaking the routes into segments. The segmentation was intended to create multiple choice options to demonstrate the flexibility of choice to property owners and stakeholders viewing the displays.
The current alternatives being considered in the EA were developed after reviewing the input provided at the November 2004 public meeting and subsequent environmental constraints studies that identified potential areas that needed to be avoided.
