Metro Corridor Project in the City of Denver, Commerce City, Thornton,
Northglenn, and Adams County, Colorado
AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Rescind the Record of Decision.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Transit Administration (FTA), in cooperation with
the Regional Transportation District (RTD), is issuing this notice to
advise the public that the Record of Decision (ROD) for the proposed
North Metro Corridor project in Denver, Colorado is being rescinded.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David L. Beckhouse, Team Leader
for Planning and Project Development, Federal Transit Administration
Region VIII, 12300 West Dakota Avenue, Suite 310, Lakewood, CO 80228,
phone 720-963-3306, email [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FTA, as the lead federal agency, in
cooperation with the Regional Transportation District published a ROD
on April 22, 2011 for the North Metro Corridor project, an 18-mile
commuter rail and track system to connect Denver Union Station and the
State Highway 7/162nd Avenue area in the Denver, Colorado area.
Since that time, RTD notified FTA that federal funds will not be
utilized during the final design and construction of the project.
Therefore, the FTA has determined that the ROD for the Final
Environmental Impact Statement dated January 3, 2011 will be rescinded
since there will be no federal action, and the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 4321, et se.
and 23 Code of Federal Regulations 771 no longer apply.
Comments and questions concerning the proposed action should be
directed to FTA at the address provided above.
Dated: October 31, 2014.
Linda M. Gehrke,
Regional Administrator, Federal Transit Administration, Region VIII.
