Received presentations on the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Study (SDEIS), the Municipal Consent process and updated cost and ridership numbers.

The cost of the project is set at $3.2B with the current proposed alignment with 12 stops.
The Blue Line Project Office has determined that they need stronger mitigation steps for identified Environmental Justice communities.
Next-steps to identify mitigations are outlined in the Environmental Justice chapter of the SDEIS and they are seeking public comments and ideas from impacted communities.
