Q. What is an Initial Strategy?
A. The initial strategies are combinations of improvement concepts. An initial strategy may include several improvement concepts such as upgrading major interchanges, enhancing bus service along I-70, and adding High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes. A series of initial strategies were developed and analyzed for this project.
Q. What is a Reasonable Strategy?
A. A reasonable strategy is a combination of improvement concepts that have the ability to meet the I-70 First Tier EIS Purpose and Need and also have no serious or fatal flaws in terms of environmental, social, or engineering impacts or costs. The reasonable strategies (also called First Tier Strategies) were developed by screening and analyzing the initial strategies to determine the best options. All of the impacts to the reasonable strategies will be evaluated in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement.
Q. What is a Preferred Strategy?
A. The preferred strategy is the strategy that best addresses the I-70 First Tier EIS Purpose and Need as determined by consideration of transportation, land-use, environmental, social, engineering, and fiscal impacts of each of the reasonable strategies.
