Review the Draft Environmental Assessment (EA)
The purpose of the EA is to identify, analyze, and evaluate the potential impacts on the natural and human environment that could result from construction and operation of the Northern Parkway transportation facility. The EA also proposes measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts of the project. Impacts include those that are short-term, occurring during construction, or long-term impacts that would result from operation of the Northern Parkway facility.
At this stage in the planning process, the study team has completed the environmental studies and documented the results in a Draft EA. Agencies, tribes, and the general public provided comments on the Draft EA during the 30-day comment period in October which is now closed. These comments will be reviewed and responses will be provided in the Final EA. The Final EA also may include revisions or additions to the document, and will be prepared by the City of Glendale, in cooperation with ADOT and FHWA. The Final EA will be approved by ADOT and FHWA prior to final project approval.
