Alternatives
No-Build Alternative
With the No-Build Alternative, no substantial improvements would be made to transportation facilities beyond those improvements currently planned for the area. Minor improvements would occur as part of normal maintenance and safety operations; however, they would not measurably affect roadway capacity or reduce the crash rates. Possible improvements could include resurfacing, re-striping, signage, and lighting. Evaluation of the No-Build Alternative provides a benchmark that assists in comparing existing conditions against a proposed highway alternative to more fully comprehend the potential benefits and impacts associated with proposed transportation improvements.
