An Environmental Assessment (EA) and draft 4(f) evaluation have been prepared for Amtrak security upgrades to Washington Union Station.  This Washington Union Station Security Upgrades Environmental Assessment  supplements and dovetails with the Final Environmental Assessment and Section 4(f) Evaluation - Columbus Circle/Columbus Plaza Rehabilitation, March 2008, prepared by the District of Columbia Department of Transportation.  Whereas the Columbus Circle EA focuses specifically on the proposed changes to the vehicular and pedestrian flow and the architectural and landscape modifications to the Circle and Plaza – including the installation of lighting at the curb-line directly in front of the station, the Washington Union Station Security Upgrades EA focuses exclusively on the installation of proposed bollards and hardened planters along the front façade of Washington Union Station.

You are invited to review the document and appendices and submit comments to David S. Ball, President, Union Station Station Redevelopment Corporation, 10 G Street, N.E., Suite 504, Washington, D.C. 20002.  You may also send comments electronically to dball@usrc.com .  Comments will be accepted until 5:00 p.m., EDT, Thursday, May 29, 2008.
