- The City of Detroit published an official Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the 9.3 mile light rail line. The project proposes to implement light rail transit service from downtown Detroit near the Detroit River, and extend northwest along Woodward Avenue (M-1) terminating near Eight-Mile Road (M-102).
- Interested parties may provide comments on the scope of the EIS, including the project’s purpose and need, the alternatives to be considered, the potential environmental and community impacts to be evaluated, and the methodologies to be used in the evaluations. Project staff will be available at the meeting to informally discuss the EIS scope and the proposed project.
- Written comments may be sent to Ms. Tricia Harr, AICP, Federal Transit Administration Headquarters, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, E43-105, Washington D.C. 20590 or email [email protected] on or before September 13, 2010.
