Preliminary Alternatives Screening Report (Final) – October 2014
The Preliminary Alternatives Screening Report documents the preliminary alternatives phase of the project and is an important step for developing the project alternatives that will be evaluated in an Alternatives Report and the Environmental Impact Statement. The PASR presents the process by which an initial range of 16 preliminary alternatives were identified, including an alternative suggested by the public at the October 29, 2014 open house. The alternatives were evaluated using screening criteria and narrowed to four alternatives to be carried forward for further design development and environmental evaluation.
Previous studies on Baltimore’s rail network and the Northeast Corridor are available on the B&P Tunnel Project website.
