Why comment?

To help select an alternative that solves transportation problems and meets the community’s needs

· To inform local decision-makers on public opinion

· To shape the Locally Preferred Alternative and measures taken to reduce impacts



Local decision-makers will consider the Draft EIS and public comment to choose a Locally Preferred Alternative this summer. A Locally Preferred Alternative is the preferred solution to the project’s identified needs.



How can I comment?

Visit www.ColumbiaRiverCrossing.org or call toll-free 1-866-396-2726 to view the Draft EIS, learn where to read a printed copy and submit your comments. Or attend a public hearing and open house.



Interpreters are available upon request to ensure that all members of the community potentially affected by this project may understand the alternatives and provide comment. Requests may be made at feedback@columbiarivercrossing.org or by calling toll free 1-866-396-2726.
