Previous public involvement opportunities
BPA held public scoping meetings for the I-5 Corridor Reinforcement Project EIS in Washington and Oregon in October and November 2009. Meeting summaries with information about the comments BPA received at each meeting are available.
BPA has attended numerous meetings upon request from citizen groups, neighborhoods and other people interested in the project. A BPA representative presents an overview of the project, answers questions and takes feedback from the public.
BPA held four additional public meetings in August and September 2010 to provide landowners and other interested stakeholders with updated information about the project, including the revised project map. A meeting summary is available and describes the format, attendance and topics discussed at the meetings.
