The Final EIR consists of the Draft EIR and the Response to Comments on the Draft EIR document (both of which can be found below). The Draft EIR was released on September 3, 2013 and a 48-day comment period started on September 4, 2013 and ended on October 21, 2013. Additionally, there were two (2) public hearings held at City Hall where Alamedans provided live comments on Monday, September 9, 2013 and September 25, 2013.
