Status

The Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was released in June 2022 and evaluated the proposed alternatives as well as their potential impacts and mitigation measures. All comments received will receive a response in the Final EIR, which is anticipated for release in 2023. The Metro Board will select a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA). More details will be provided at a future date.
