Public Meeting #3: October 19, 2016
FRA hosted the Washington Union Station Expansion Project’s third Public Meeting on October 19, 2016 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in Washington Union Station’s Presidential Room located in the East Hall. An informal open house format was conducted between 4:00pm and 8:00pm at which representatives were available for discussion of the project and answer questions. Formal presentations were also given at 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
This meeting was an opportunity for the public to review and provide feedback on the preliminary Project concepts and screening. The preliminary concepts illustrated potential Project elements that will shape the layout of the station expansion, including realigned and improved tracks and platforms; new public concourses; a train hall; and new parking, bus, and taxi facilities. FRA sought public comments to help determine the Project concepts that should be advanced for further study in an Environmental Impact Statement being prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This public meeting was fulfilled public engagement requirements of the concurrent Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) consultation process.
