Presentations will be at 6:00 pm followed by a public comments. I am not sure if you can comment if you cannot be there for the public comment period. There was no information about commenting online in the notice although this should be possible. The places where you can read the EIS is also not online even though it is supposed to be.

The final EIS is online at http://www.i-70east.com/reports.html, although not in an easily readable format. The reports should be printed out and be available to read in person starting Friday, January 15, and I assume that comment forms will also be provided.

For an example of why road widening is not a good idea: Houston spent $2.8 billion on road expansion and traffic slowed by 30%.
