Public invited to review progress of US 2 Trestle project evaluation efforts
Online open house available until July 7; community encouraged to weigh in
EVERETT – The public is invited to provide input on the US 2 Trestle Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study alternatives evaluation. Each alternative represents a package of potential improvements on the west end (to I-5 and Everett) and east end (to SR 204, US 2 and Lake Stevens) of the US 2 Trestle.
In partnership with the Federal Highway Administration, the Washington State Department of Transportation is completing a federal PEL study that requires the following steps:
- Develop a “purpose and need” statement
- Evaluate and screen alternatives
- Identify high-level environmental impacts and potential mitigation
Beginning Tuesday, June 16, people can visit an online open house to learn about the screening of potential alternatives. The PEL study will identify a reasonable range of alternatives to evaluate in more detail in accordance with federal laws.
WSDOT will use the feedback it gathers to refine the proposed alternatives. The draft PEL report will include recommended alternatives. WSDOT anticipates public review of the draft PEL report later this year.
