Next Steps for Plan Bay Area

Thank you for your interest in Plan Bay Area.

As you may know, a Draft Plan and companion Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) were issued for public review in March and April, 2013.

The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) received hundreds of comments from cities, counties, other government agencies, members of the public and stakeholder groups, during the third round of public engagement for Plan Bay Area. All written correspondence, transcripts from the public hearings, a summary of a recent telephone poll and an online comment forum are now available.

The public comment period for both the Draft Plan and the DEIR ended on May 16. Agency staff have been reviewing comments from public hearings that were held on the Draft Plan in all nine Bay Area counties, as well as correspondence in response to the documents. Comments also are being reviewed from three public hearings on the DEIR.

On June 14, staff will present key messages heard and seek direction on revising the Plan in response to public comments.

This meeting will be audiocast live and an audio file will be available after the meeting.

We encourage you to remain engaged in the planning process as MTC and ABAG move toward adoption of the final Plan Bay Area, which is expected to take place in July. For further information, including a list of upcoming public meetings, please visit the One Bay Area website.
