PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING 2

Pioneer Road / County C

This project brief discusses the issues associated with the Pioneer Road/County C interchange, including its ramps and ramp intersections. It also briefly describes a range of alternatives developed and how they address these issues, as well as comparing the impacts and costs associated with these improvements.

Alternatives Presented
Alternatives to be evaluated in the environmental impact statement include various No-Build and Build alternatives. The No-Build alternative leaves the system as it currently exists and serves as a base alternative for comparison. The Build alternatives presented tonight are shown below.

Whats Next
Alternatives will be refined based on comments received from this public meeting and ongoing traffic analysis and engineering. Each alternative will then be evaluated based on comments received, impacts, and on how well it meets the purpose and need for this study. The alternatives will be compared to determine which provide the most benefit while minimizing impacts. Intersections will be evaluated for signals or roundabouts. The retained alternatives will be presented at the third public information meeting in late summer 2013. A recommended alternative will then be presented in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement followed by a Public Hearing in early 2014 for your additional input.

*Interchange alternatives are compatible with four-lane and six-lane I-43 mainline alternatives.
