The proposed improvements are located in Baltimore County, Maryland, and consist of the construction of a 6-lane divided highway on new location for both Relocated U.S. Route 140(Northwest Expressway)and Relocated Maryland Route 30(Reisterstown Bypass). Also included is a 2-track rapid transit line in the median of the highway from the Baltimore City Line to Painters Mill Road, a distance of approximately 5.5 miles. The project begins at Wabash Avenue in Baltimore City and terminates at U. S. Route 140 and Maryland Route 30, north of Reisterstown, a total length of approximately 14.4 miles. Existing residential and undeveloped lands are to be acquired and converted to highway purposes. A safer, more efficient transportation system will result from the combined highway-transit development with increased social and economic opportunities. The displacement of residents, conflict with the potential stream valley park along Gwynns Falls, and increases in noise levels appear to be the major adverse environmental effects. Relocation assistance services and payments, effective sediment control measures, landscaping and noise barriers will minimize these impacts.
