Action
Notice of intent to prepare a supplemental environmental impact statement (EIS).
Summary
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (Sound Transit) intend to prepare a supplemental EIS in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) on the Central Link Light Rail Transit project north corridor from Convention Place to Northgate. This is a supplemental EIS to the Central Link Light Rail Transit Project Final EIS (November 1999). The supplemental EIS will evaluate a no build alternative and light rail station and route options in three segments: Capitol Hill/ South Lake Union (Convention Place Station to SR-520), Ship Canal crossing/University District (SR-520 to NE 45th Street), and the Northgate segment (NE 45th to Northgate). Scoping will be accomplished through meetings and correspondence with interested persons, organizations, the general public, federal, state and local agencies and tribes.
