The purpose of this public meeting is to present an overview of the project and give the public an opportunity to provide comments that will help the study team in the evaluation of the alternatives.  The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) process for conducting Environmental Assessments (EA) in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 will also be described.  Comments are requested on the purpose and need for the project, issues that should be considered in the EA being prepared by the LADOTD for the FHWA, and other concerns related to the project.  A looping presentation will describe the project and range of alternatives under study. Informational handouts, maps, and graphic displays will be available at the meeting. Representatives from LADOTD, FHWA, and the consultant team will be present to receive comments and discuss issues.
