Get Involved in the Allentown
Truck Reroute Project
Community input is needed as the City prepares
an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to
evaluate alternatives to reroute existing BNSF
truck traffic in Allentown. You know your
community best, and we need your help to
better understand your neighborhood and the
surrounding environment!
An EIS is a process to evaluate potential effects
that a proposed project may have on the built
and natural environment. The first step in the EIS
is called scoping. Scoping is where we ask you to
share your input on what issues and what
alternatives should be analyzed.
The formal EIS scoping comment period will be
from February 14th through March 15th. During
this time, please send us a comment via email at
Al lentownTruc kReRoute@Tu kwi laWA. gov.
We invite you to an Open House on Tuesday,
February 28th from 5:30 to 7pm at the Tukwila
Community Center (12424 42nd Ave S, Tukwila,
WA 98168) to learn more about EIS and provide
comment. More information about the project
can be found on the City website.
