Title: Coordinated Federal and State Environmental Processes for Doyle Drive – A Case Study
Accession Number: 01024709
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: The objective of this paper is to illustrate how strong coordination leads to the successful combination of the federal and state environmental processes by providing a case study of Doyle Drive – a unique transportation project within a National Park and National Historic Landmark District. This case study recognizes institutional and regulatory constraints and opportunities as well as an understanding of the importance of collaboration and coordination with agencies and the public. Doyle Drive is the southern approach of the Golden Gate Bridge and regional transportation connection between San Francisco and points north. It is located in the Presidio of San Francisco, the oldest continuously operated military post in the nation. The Presidio spans 1,280 acres; boasts spectacular views, a diverse ecosystem, a dynamic shoreline and historic forests; as well as bordering the largest chain of marine sanctuaries in the northern hemisphere. All of these characteristics make environmental stewardship critical to the success of replacing this aging facility. The case study will demonstrate the multiagency, multidisciplined, and multilevel coordination process created to develop broad consensus among three federal land managers and FHWA and over 12 key state and regional agencies throughout the environmental evaluation process – from the project purpose to the development of potential solutions to managing other inevitable challenges such as staff changeover, lack of staff, and differing individual styles within key agencies. It is concluded that the multiagency, multidisciplinary, and multilevel coordination process provided continual interaction among the various agencies and the community – at multiple levels – to identify differing goals, lack of staff continuity in maintaining open communications, and moving the project toward an acceptable conclusion while managing.
