The nearly Final EIS:

The FTA has now issued what we can only call a nearly Final EIS. We say nearly Final because the Programmatic Agreement which is Appendix H of the EIS has yet to be signed and the Governor has not approved the nearly Final EIS yet. Until those events occur the document is not a Final EIS.

The City and FTA issued the nearly Final EIS as one large encrypted file plus separate appendices. The main file is unwieldy to use except for searches. We have decrypted the main file so that you may now copy excerpts from of it and we have separated the various chapters into individual files for ease of handling. We warn you that Chapter 4 is still a very large 260 Mb.

We suggest you print out the Table of Contents, pages 15-32 of the 38 pages of the Front Section, to more easily navigate your way through this document.
