The latest on the Rapid Ride J Line

 RantWoman is posting this item from her email mainly for archival purposes. Chances are pretty good based on RantWoman's lack of web design finesse that content may be invisible on the right hand side of the text. The screen reader works fine. So do relevant links. And if that fails, RantWoman hopes that grabbing terminology will yield useful search terms.

Supplemental Environmental Assessment: Analyzing Any New Impacts

In early 2020, we released the Environmental Assessment and Section 4(f) Analysis for the RapidRide Roosevelt (J Line) project. The document provides a comprehensive analysis of the project, including proposed improvements, technical details, potential impacts, and mitigation strategies.    Before we advance into final design, the project is required to submit a Supplemental Environmental Assessment to the Federal Transit Administration to analyze any new impacts from the shortened route, north of the University Bridge. The Supplemental Environmental Assessment will include a formal public comment period in 2021 for the shortened route. The Federal Transit Administration will then make an environmental determination based on both the original Environmental Assessment and the Supplemental Environmental Assessment. With this additional step, construction for the project could start as soon as 2023.
