Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement on the Central Link
Light Rail Transit Project

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration, DOT.

ACTION:  Notice of intent to prepare a Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement (SEIS).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is issuing this
notice to advise the public, tribes and agencies that an SEIS will be
prepared to evaluate a new alternative in Tukwila, Washington for the
Central Link Light Rail Transit Project. This action is a supplement to
the Central Link Light Rail Transit Project Final Environmental Impact
Statement (November 1999).

DATES: Agency Scoping Meeting: An agency scoping meeting will be held
on: Thursday, August 10, 2000, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Tukwila
Community Center, 12424 42nd Avenue South, Tukwila, WA.
    Scoping comments may be submitted after the meeting.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Witmer, Federal Transit
Administration, 915 2nd Avenue Suite 3142, Seattle, WA 98174-1002,
Telephone: 206-220-7964. James Irish, Sound Transit, 401 South Jackson
St., Seattle, WA 98104-2826, Telephone: 206-398-5140

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  FTA and the Puget Sound Regional Transit
Authority (Sound Transit) will prepare an SEIS on a new light rail
alternative route in the City of Tukwila known as the Tukwila Freeway
Route. The Tukwila Freeway Route alternative was proposed by the City
of Tukwila and follows East Marginal Way, State Route 509, Interstate-
5, and State Route 518, mostly using an elevated configuration within
existing freeway right-of-way. Stations are proposed at (1) Boeing
Access Road and (2) South 154th Street, which would include a 670-stall
park-and-ride lot. This 5.5 mile alternative route would bypass the
adopted route along Tukwila International Boulevard (State Route 99)
and be completely within exclusive right-of-way.

    Issued on: August 1, 2000.
Linda M. Gehrke,
Federal Transit Administration Deputy Regional Administrator.
