Abstract:

Workshop participants expressed a need for statutory changes to achieve equity and justice for those displaced by highway projects. The evaluation of relocation impacts in the project planning stage were also examined. A number of recommendations were made regarding the legislation now under consideration. These recommendations relate to the following: the haziness regarding funds for properties adversely affected that are not part of the right-of-way; the need for a better definition of a project; the removal of the financial maximum from federal statutes; the standardization of requirements concerning eligibility (tenure), property tax, and choice of housing; a supplement to businesses that are displaced; the replacement of services in low-income neighborhoods; provisions in state statutes to remove uncertainity about the ability to acquire uneconomic remainders; provision for funding to assist businesses with problems due to relocation; move adequate evaluations in the project planning phase to determine project feasibility; displacement and relocation analysis in the environmental impact statement; early notification of persons and residents who would be affected by projects; and greater coordination between agencies and interested groups before project adoption.
