Finding
Allegheny County
[33 Pa.B. 3438] Under section 2002(b) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 512(b)), the Secretary of Transportation makes the following written finding:
The Department of Transportation (Department) plans to replace the existing Mosside Boulevard Bridge carrying SR 0048 over Turtle Creek in the Borough of Monroeville, Allegheny County. The existing Mosside Boulevard Bridge has been determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The effect of this project on the Mosside Boulevard Bridge will be mitigated by the following measures to minimize harm to the resource.
1. Prior to the replacement of the Mosside Boulevard Bridge, the structure will be recorded following State level recordation guidelines. The Department shall ensure that all documentation is completed and accepted by the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) prior to implementation of the undertaking and that copies of the recordation are available to the SHPO and appropriate local archives designated by the SHPO.
2. Presentation or display boards, which highlight the significant engineering features of the Mosside Boulevard Bridge will be made available to either the International Bridge Conference or to a National conference for bridge, structural or civil engineers. The presentation or display boards will be completed in consultation with the SHPO.
The Secretary has considered the environmental, economic, social and other effects of the proposed project as enumerated in section 2002 of The Administrative Code of 1929 and has concluded that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the project as designed, and all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize the effect.
ALLEN D. BIEHLER, P. E.,
Secretary
