Public commenter says NEPA was not followed after project components were removed
Summary
A public commenter at the joint commissions alleged the NEPA review was bypassed when components of a prior 3rd Bridge Now plan were removed, and said those components would have addressed local interchange issues; the comment was acknowledged but not acted on during the meeting.
During the public‑comment period, a speaker identified as Shannon raised a procedural and environmental concern about project development. The commenter said the NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) process "was not followed when our project, 3rd Bridge Now, and 70 components were removed," and asserted that removing those components excluded a solution that would have addressed issues at the I‑84/I‑5 interchange.
The moderator thanked the commenter and moved the meeting to the next agenda item; commissioners did not take immediate action during the session but the comment became part of the public record to be considered alongside staff briefings and environmental review.
