Notice of intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
Summary
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) intend to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) on the proposed construction of a busway along an existing rail right-of-way corridor, known as the Hartford West Corridor, between Union Station in Hartford, CT and downtown New Britain, CT. The EIS will evaluate a no-build alternative and a busway alternative, options recommended in a Major Investment Study (MIS) completed by the CTDOT and participating agencies for the Hartford West Corridor. Further scoping will be accomplished through public meetings and hearings, neighborhood meetings, cable news segments, a newsletter, and correspondence with interested persons, organizations, the general public, federal, state and local agencies.
