Section 4(f) of the U.S. Department of Transportation Act of 1966 specifies that transportation agencies consider the potential impacts of their projects on public parks and recreational areas, publicly owned wildlife refuges, and historic sites listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Agencies are required to evaluate potential uses of these 4(f) properties, such as taking land or demolishing a historic building, and demonstrate that there are no feasible or prudent avoidance alternatives.
