There are no public meetings planned for this project at this time.

Since summer 2006, meetings have been held with the project’s Policy and Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC). In addition to these PTAC meetings, meetings with natural resources agencies and representatives have been held to collect and report on environmental information.  Informational meetings have been held for local property owners. Given the highway’s proximity to the railroad, coordination with representatives of the BNSF Railway Company has also been ongoing.  Meetings will continue throughout the environmental process and will contribute to the information that will be presented in both the Draft and Final EIS documents.
