Further, it addresses the potential effects on environmental resources and the potential effects on future traffic operations caused by proposed alternatives as well as the “no-build” alternative. The findings from the CTA’s Blue Line Vision Study will also be presented. A public Notice of Availability (NOA) will be issued on December 30, 2016. The NOA begins the 45 day public review and comment period. The public hearings will be conducted in an open house format, and interested persons may attend anytime between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. There will be a continuous audiovisual presentation, and the public is encouraged to comment on the DEIS, alternatives under consideration, preliminary road closure plan, social, economic, and environmental effects and proposed mitigation strategies.
