CULTURAL RESOURCES

 
One of the key human elements in the project is the loss of cultural resources including access to historic sites, access to familial cemeteries, and access to the homeplaces of the displaced. Suggested ways to improve such conditions include providing open access to heritage areas, protecting artifacts and historic sites, and capitalizing on local history in order to financially address the needs of the displaced and their family members. Some believe that more time is needed to conduct a full archaeological, historical, and cultural survey of the study area than is planned for in this EIS process.



The summary of public comments was derived from individual input related to the North Shore Road EIS Project. These comments were obtained through transcripts
and other written correspondence collected at the Public Scoping Meetings and written correspondence sent to the Project P.O. Box, the North Shore Road website, the National Park Service, and the Federal Highway Administration.

The tone and content of these comments represent the views of the individuals providing input and do not necessarily reflect actual events and/or factual information.

While a brief summary of unique comments is included, the original statement in its entirety has been retained for record purposes.

Action items requested by the public will be evaluated and addressed during the EIS process.
