Last Chance Grade Draft EIR/EIS (DED) Virtual Public Open House : Last Chance Grade Project

Last Chance Grade Draft EIR/EIS (DED) Virtual Public Open House

On January 24, 2024, Caltrans hosted an online virtual public Open House which provided an opportunity to learn more about the Last Chance Grade project and the Draft Environmental Impact Report / Environmental Impact Statement (DED). The public comment period for the DED is now closed. Caltrans anticipates publishing a Final EIR/EIS in late 2025 that will include written responses to comments received during the public comment period.

During the Open House, project staff presented information on the project purpose, history, proposed alternatives, and potential impacts, and answered questions submitted by attendees. The video of the Open House can be viewed below. (Click on the "V" symbol at lower right to view full-size on Vimeo.)
