June 2009 North Metro Corridor DEIS Update

Dear North Metro Stakeholders:

In late March 2009, the North Metro Corridor EIS Project Team distributed an e-mail to the public announcing that the DRAFT Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) would be released for public review and comment in June 2009.

The Draft EIS was ready to be released to the public, however, some recent information has required additional refinement of the alignment in the southern portion of the corridor for the connection to the UP Boulder Branch. (click here to see map) An alternative alignment that we are refining could be more efficient, reduce the number of impacted properties and save time in the long run. The required environmental work and inclusion in the DEIS will result in a delay of the release to the public until later this year.

The North Metro Project Team will notify you when the DEIS will be available for public review.

Respectfully,

Dave Shelley, Project Manager
North Metro Corridor EIS
