If transit service is not currently available, but is planned for the future, appropriate easements should be reserved to provide for future improvements such as bus turnouts, loading areas, and shelters. • Sidewalks and bikepaths should be installed throughout as much of the project as possible and should be connected to any nearby open space areas, parks, schools, commercial areas, etc. • Natural gas lines and electrical outlets should be installed in patio areas to encourage the use of gas and/or electric barbecues. Finally, one of the issues that will arise in conjunction with any proposed demolition is compliance with the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS). Specifically, the primary air pollutant of concern is asbestos. To ascertain whether this project is subject to NESHAPS, the project applicant is advised to review the enclosed Asbestos - Compliance Assistance Bulletin, dated December 1994. Brian Dodds is the Northern Region's District contact for the program and is available should you need further assistance.
