Where Are We Now?
We are currently in the Purpose and Need / Alternatives Development and Evaluation Phase of Tier 1. The Purpose and Need Phase involves stakeholder input and technical analysis findings. In the first few CPG/TTF meetings issues/concerns were identified and goals/objectives were determined for the project. Technical analysis was gathered from community context audits as well as from planning organizations, CMAP, NIRPC and KATS. Stakeholder input and technical analysis create the project’s purpose and need which is the basis for developing alternatives. The framework for the Purpose and Need is:
- Improve regional mobility,
- Improve local system deficiencies,
- Provide for efficient movement of freight demand.
