SR-710 environmental report is available - opportunities to comment at public hearings and via internet

On March 6, 2015, Metro and Caltrans released the State Route 710 North Study Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIR/EIS) for public review and comment. The document can be viewed on the Caltrans website. The Draft EIR/EIS does not recommend or select a Preferred Alternative.

Caltrans extended the 45-day public review and comment period to 120 days ending on July 6, 2015. Four public hearings have been scheduled for you to provide your input on the five alternatives being considered.

You are invited to attend the free Public Hearings and provide input the following ways:

Verbal Comments: Pick-up and complete a SPEAKER CARD located at the registration table and return it to staff on-site. You will then be called to provide your verbal comment to the panel in front of the audience. You can also provide your verbal comment privately to a court reporter at the event who will submit your comment for the record.  NOTE: This is only to provide your comment. If you have questions about the five alternatives or the Study process, you can ask one of the subject matter experts located in the Map Viewing area.

Written Comments: Pick-up and complete a COMMENT CARD located at the registration table. You can submit your completed comment card by placing it in the comment box located at the comment station

The four public hearing dates and locations are:

  • Tuesday, April 14, from 5pm - 9pm at the Pasadena Convention: 300 East Green Street, Pasadena, CA 91101 (Parking entrance on Euclid Avenue). This meeting will be LIVE streamed from 6 pm – 9 pm. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sr-710-study
