Background
On November 6, 2020, at 85 FR 71136, FHWA advised the public that
it had prepared a Revised Environmental Assessment and a FONSI for the
I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project. The proposed improvements would
extend existing auxiliary lanes in the northbound and southbound
directions to improve safety and operations on Interstate-5 (I-5)
between Interstate 84 and Interstate 405, and make improvements to
local streets to improve multimodal connections over I-5. Changes made
to the project after the FONSI was issued necessitate vacating that
finding and conducting additional analysis to account for altered
environmental impacts before proceeding. A new decision under the
National Environmental Policy Act and any other necessary Federal
environmental determinations will be issued consistent with this
additional analysis.

Division Administrator, Federal Highway Administration.
