Extension of Public Scoping Period for the West Seattle and
Ballard Link Extensions, King County, Washington
AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration (FTA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice; extension of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On February 12, 2019 the Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
published a notice of intent (NOI) in the Federal Register to prepare
an environmental impact statement (EIS) with the Central Puget Sound
Regional Transit Authority (Sound Transit) for the West Seattle and
Ballard Link Extensions (WSBLE) Project. The public scoping period on
the NOI was originally scheduled to end on March 18, 2019. FTA is
extending the public scoping period and will accept comments until
April 2, 2019.
DATES: Written comments on the scope and alternatives to be considered
in EIS, as described in the NOI (84 FR 3541; February 12, 2019), must
be submitted no later than April 2, 2019.
ADDRESSES: You may submit written comments on the scope of the EIS to:
WSBLE (c/o Lauren Swift) Sound Transit, 401 S Jackson Street, Seattle,
WA 98104-2826, or by email to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 12, 2019, FTA published a NOI to
prepare an EIS in coordination with Sound Transit for the WSBLE Project
in the Federal Register (84 FR 3541). The public scoping period on the
NOI was originally scheduled to end on March 18, 2019. FTA received
requests for additional time to provide comments. In an effort to
balance the need to move forward on the EIS process in an efficient
manner and the need to encourage thorough public participation in this
scoping process, FTA will extend the public comment period to April 2,
2019. This brings the public scoping period to a total of 46 days.
Other information contained in the NOI published in the February 12,
2019 Federal Register has not been changed.
Linda M. Gehrke,
Regional Administrator.
