The Metropolitan Council and the Federal Transit Administration have prepared a Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) for the METRO Blue Line Extension project. This document evaluates the potential social, economic, and environmental benefits and impacts that may occur because of the design, construction, and operation of the Blue Line Extension and outlines potential measures to avoid or reduce those impacts.
The environmental review process for the METRO Blue Line Extension is required by the National Environmental Policy Act and the Minnesota Environmental Policy Act.
