Help me understand the timeline for the environmental project/program schedule. When is input welcome and how can I provide feedback?
The statewide Program EIR/EIS was certified in November 2005, but was decertified in December 2009 due to a lawsuit. The Rail Authority recently concluded the comment period for a revised Program Level EIR/EIS on April 26, 2010. Before the Authority can re-certify the report, they must consider and respond to all comments submitted; this could take several months. The Preliminary Alternatives Analysis was released in April 2010. This report identifies potentially feasible alignment alternatives for further analysis and consideration. This document will be used to inform the project description(s) that will be analyzed in the Project Level EIR/EIS. There is no formal deadline for submittal of comments, but the Authority encouraged input by June 30, 2010 and City staff sent in comments to the Rail Authority.
