Major Public Meetings

• October 2008 Public Information Meetings
• February 2008 Scoping Update Meetings

.

Throughout the course of the Tappan Zee Bridge/I-287 Environmental Review the public has shared ideas, participated in meetings, open houses and other public events, or have visited the project Web site (tzbsite.com). In October 2008, nearly 200 people in Westchester, Rockland and Orange counties participated in three Public Information Meetings that provided information on the preliminary recommendations related to the project. Comments were requested from the public through December 1, 2008.

In February 2008, more than 330 people in Westchester, Rockland, Orange and surrounding counties participated in the Scoping Update meetings, at which the public was encouraged to submit comments through March 31, 2008. Additionally, there will be many other opportunities to get involved and stay informed in the future. Public involvement is a vital aspect of this project.

The Project Team is committed to a continuous and comprehensive public outreach program providing the opportunity for frequent and meaningful public feedback. The Team strives to foster open communication and to be responsive to all interested in this important project.

The Project Team has initiated the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) process. Once the DEIS is compiled, the document will be available at a number of public locations and on the project Web site. Formal hearings to gather public comment will be held in the summer of 2009. Feedback gathered during the hearings will be evaluated toward formulating the Final EIS. There will be other open houses and public forums in which stakeholders will be able to participate and share comments in the interest of improving the study.
