<br />, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />5. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDA TIONS FOR mGHW A Y OPTIONS <br /> <br />This section summarizes the results of the highway options preliminary evaluation. Table VI-2 is <br />a matrix summarizing how each option fared against each criterion. Based on Table VI-2, the <br />following alternatives were recommended to be carried forward for further evaluation: <br /> <br />1. Addition of Turn Lanes <br />2. ITS Technologies for Traffic Management <br />3. Access ConsolidationIFrontage Road Development <br />4. Signal Improvement/Coordination <br />5. Addition of Through-Lanes/HOV Lanes <br />6. CSAH 11 Interchange <br /> <br />In general, the above options fared relatively well in all three screening criteria. Options that were <br />eliminated from the preliminary evaluation had such significant environmental impacts and high <br />costs that rendered them infeasible. These options were: construction of an interchange at select <br />locations (all other locations except CSAH 11 in Becker), construction of bypass and construction <br />of full-access control freeway. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Northstar Corridor Major Investment Study <br />Conceptual Definition of Alternatives <br />February 1999 <br /> <br />VI-14 <br />
