Written by Editor Wednesday, 13 June 2012 05:58

Later this month, Plan Bay Area organizers will host four meetings to solicit public input on the scope and content of the plan's draft environmental impact report. The report will analyze the environmental impacts of land use scenarios and transportation investments considered for Plan Bay Area. Discussion topics for the meetings will include:

What environmental issues should be analyzed?

Are there alternatives that should be evaluated?

What mitigation measures would help avoid or minimize any negative impacts?

How can local jurisdictions and other agencies use the environmental impact report?

The meetings will be held according to the following schedule:

Wednesday, June 20 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the MetroCenter Auditorium at 101 Eighth Street in Oakland

Thursday, June 21 from 10:00 a.m. to noon in Room 255/257 of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library at 150 East San Fernando Street in San Jose
