North Metro DEIS Update

North Metro DEIS Update February 2009

The North Metro Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) document is currently undergoing final preparation and internal reviews. It is expected to be circulated this spring. The DEIS will present the final definition of the project alternatives, quantify the project benefits and impacts, and identify potential mitigation strategies as appropriate.

Key recommendations that will be presented in the DEIS include the following:
· Preferred alignment including the cross-country segment in Commerce City
· A preferred station site at selected station target areas
· Preferred rail vehicle technology - either diesel multiple unit (DMU) or electric multiple unit (EMU)

The public and agencies will be invited to comment on the DEIS during the 45-day circulation period and at the public hearings.

Please feel free to submit a question or comment if you have ideas or issues that you wish to share with us.
