How to Provide Meaningful Comment
How to Provide Meaningful Comment
The DEIS comment period is closed. The DEIS analyzes the proposed alternatives. Alternatives are different ways of achieving the proposal’s purpose and need and serve as the basis for environmental analysis relative to elements of the environment. Alternatives under consideration provide a range of capacities to accommodate housing and job growth, housing types, and investments in infrastructure citywide and in the Wilburton study area.
A separate analysis is prepared for each alternative. The purpose of the analysis is to estimate the nature, severity, and duration of potential impacts that might occur and to compare the impacts of the alternatives. Learn more about the DEIS alternatives. The DEIS is made available to the public for review and comment.
DEIS comments that are clear, concise, and relevant will improve the final documents. Please use explanations, facts, and references, as appropriate.
We want to hear your comments on:
- What you think about the alternatives and policies and how they best reflect the City of Bellevue’s needs
- Accuracy of information in the DEIS
- Assumptions used in the environmental analysis
- Where clarification is needed
When the public comment period is finished, the city will analyze comments, conduct further analysis as necessary, and prepare the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). The response to public comments will be published in the FEIS.
