Learning
IBR Program hosts events to present Draft SEIS and Section 106 findings and accept comments!
During Q4 of 2024, the IBR Program presented the Draft SEIS and Section 106 findings at numerous in-person and virtual community events, where members of the community had a chance to pose questions and submit official public comments. We sincerely appreciate the time and effort that community members took to share their feedback .
During the public comment period, which was open from Sept. 20 through Nov. 18, the IBR Program received approximately 3,500 submissions. We heard from members of the public through public hearings, the IBR website, email, physical mail and by phone.
From here, the feedback received on the Draft SEIS will be used to update the technical analysis, narrow design options and refine the preferred alternative. The next step is for our team to review all comments and prepare responses for inclusion in the Final SEIS, which is expected to be published in late 2025.
Advisory Group Highlights
Community Advisory Group
In October, Community Advisory Group (CAG) members examined findings from the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS), highlighting transportation, environmental and community impacts, and assessed recommendations from the Community Benefit Advisory Group (CBAG) to prevent further harm, ensuring they reflected community priorities. November discussions centered on reviewing the refined CBAG proposals related to avoiding further harm and mobility and accessibility, alongside updates on river navigation impacts and outreach during the public comment period. In December, the group explored tolling policies, including potential exemptions and discounts, and shared perspectives on CBAG recommendations for mobility, accessibility and physical design. The year concluded with a review of key topics discussed and highlights from 2024.
Equity Advisory Group
The Equity Advisory Group (EAG) met three times in Q4 2024. In October, members reviewed the Section 106 process under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), discussed key findings from the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS), and reviewed community benefits . November’s meeting featured a review of updates from the Community Benefit Advisory Group (CBAG) on equity objectives for mobility and accessibility, and a discussion of equity performance measures. In December, the group reviewed the refined recommendations for community benefits related to mobility, accessibility and physical design. They also reviewed tolling updates and finalized performance measure recommendations. Across these sessions, the EAG emphasized aligning program decisions with the Equity Framework Principles and ensuring historically underserved communities benefit from the program’s investments.
Community Benefits Advisory Group
Community Benefits Advisory Group members met in October to work on recommendations related to avoiding further harm and mobility and accessibility, while receiving updates on recent program activities and findings from the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS). November’s meeting continued this effort, with members using modified consensus to confirm recommendations for avoiding further harm and mobility and accessibility, while beginning work on physical design considerations. In December, the CBAG finalized recommendations for the mobility and accessibility and physical design categories.
Executive Steering Group
Members of the Executive Steering Group (ESG) met in October to hear the latest updates on IBR Program activities, including the award of the $1.499 billion Bridge Investment Program (BIP) grant from FHWA this summer, engagement with federal officials, joint discussions on tolling between the Oregon and Washington transportation commissions, and Section 106 Historic Properties process running concurrent to the Draft SEIS process. The group learned about all the activities taking place in support of the Draft SEIS public comment period and heard a brief overview of information related to the transportation findings within the document, as well as on transit, marine navigation, property impacts, and economic activity. Members also got an update on the work of the CBAG to review and refine recommendations for community benefits to be finalized and shared in the first or second quarter of 2025.
What we've heard and how we're responding
Community members reached out to the program regarding the Draft SEIS public comment period to to learn about the document, access it and provide their comments.
There continues to be interest in the potential impacts to property, businesses and the community as the program approaches construction.
There is continued interest in how transit operations and maintenance on the new bridge will be funded.
