The Certified Route. The Project route begins at the East Garden City Substation, initially runs east across the eastern portion of the EGC Substation property and then across the western edge of the abutting property to the east, then turns north for approximately 300 feet, where the route then turns west onto Xxxxxxx Avenue. The route follows Xxxxxxx Avenue southwest for 1.6 miles to Hilton Avenue. The route turns northward on Hilton Avenue for an approximate distance of one block (0.1 mile). The route then turns west and runs along 9th Street (0.2 mile) before turning southwest and proceeding along Cherry Valley Avenue within the roadway (0.4 mile), crossing underneath the double Long Island Rail Road (“LIRR”) tracks. The LIRR is elevated over Cherry Valley Avenue so that conventional open trench installation techniques can be employed in Cherry Valley Avenue where it passes under the LIRR. Cherry Valley Avenue becomes Rockaway Avenue and then Westminster Road, which the route follows (1.3 miles) to the intersection with Hempstead Avenue, including making a perpendicular crossing of Hempstead Turnpike (Route 24), a state highway, approximately 0.2 mile north of the intersection with Hempstead Avenue. The route then turns southwest onto Hempstead Avenue (1.7 miles) to the intersection with Xxxxxxxx Avenue, where the route proceeds southwest along Xxxxxxxx Avenue (0.3 mile), under the Southern State Parkway, to the intersection of Dogwood Avenue. The Southern State Parkway is elevated over Xxxxxxxx Avenue at this crossing. This allows the use of conventional open trench installation techniques in Xxxxxxxx Avenue where it passes under the Southern State Parkway. The route then travels south on Dogwood Avenue (0.3 mile) to the intersection with Hempstead Avenue, where it proceeds southwest on Hempstead Avenue (0.2 mile) to where the road intersects with Broadway. The route follows Broadway in a southwesterly direction (0.3 mile) through the intersection with Xxxxx Avenue to the intersection with Franklin Avenue. The route turns southeast onto Franklin Avenue. Here a trenchless crossing of the single track LIRR line will be required. The route then proceeds (0.1 mile) to the intersection with Whitehall Street, where the route turns west and proceeds for the final 0.8 mile, terminating in the Valley Stream Substation.
