As you review the Preliminary Range of Alternatives developed from the scoping process, consider the screening criteria that will be used for future evaluation. This evaluation will determine which alternatives are carried forward for more detailed study. The screening criteria include the goals identified in the Purpose and Need of the study:
• Accommodating existing traffic and long-term traffic growth;
• Enhancing trip reliability;
• Providing additional roadway travel choices;
• Evaluating ease of usage for travelers;
• Accommodating Homeland Security by improving evacuation options and improving emergency response;
• Improving movement of goods and services by improving freight travel times and by improving access to employment centers;
• Addressing financial viability;
• Improving multi-modal connectivity by enhancing access to existing and planned transit; and
• Consideration of key environmental resources: need for additional right-of-way, and impacts to parks, historic properties, and wetlands and waters.
