The regional government for the Portland metro area (Metro), and the Tri-county Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) proposed to construct an extension of the regional light rail system to serve southern Portland, including a bridge across the Willamette River. The Supplemental Draft EIS (SDEIS) was published in May 2010, and the Final EIS (FEIS) was published in October 2010. The Record of Decision (ROD) was published by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in November 2010. There was stakeholder concern that the cumulative impact of the new bridge over the Willamette River and projected river level rise associated with global climate change on navigation were not addressed in the DEIS.
