What's the latest?
The Sound Transit Board has identified preferred alternatives and other alternatives to study in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Draft EIS is the next step in the environmental review process, where we will evaluate potential impacts and benefits of the alternatives on the natural and built environment, and identify potential mitigation measures. The Draft EIS is anticipated to be released in late 2020 for public review and comment.
New to the project and looking for more background? Visit the project website to get up to speed!
RSVP for neighborhood forums
Attend a neighborhood forum to learn more about the alternatives we’ll be studying in the Draft EIS, what happens next in the environmental review process and how you can stay engaged! There will also be opportunities to participate in small group activities to discuss how the vision and values of your neighborhood relate to future light rail stations.
