PROPOSED BUILD ALTERNATIVES
(Updated 08/2011)
This page includes the most recent information related to the proposed Build Alternatives being evaluated in detail in the Draft EIS along with the No-Build Alternative. This information is considered draft and subject to further changes. The proposed Build Alternatives were determined using an alternative screening process that considered: No-Build, TSM, TDM, Transit, and toll and non-toll Build Alternatives. Step 3 of the screening process started with the development of three design concepts for the Multi-Modal Upgrade, which is the only reasonable and viable solution based on screening Steps 1 and 2. These design concepts form the basis for the proposed Build Alternatives:
- Proposed Build Alternative 1 - Add General Purpose Lanes (308KB)
- Proposed Build Alternative 2 - Add New Managed Lanes Inside (263KB)
- Proposed Build Alternative 3 - Add New Managed Lanes Outside (266KB)
Members of the Community Advisory Group also identified a concept for a multi-use path as part of the Alamo RMA’s Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) approach. This concept led to the inclusion of a 15.5-mile multi-use path as part of Build Alternatives 1, 2, and 3, along with improvements at interchanges and intersections to better facilitate the safe movement of cyclists and pedestrians.
