http://www.cabwheatridge.com/go/site/941/ Since February 2005, engineering staff from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), City of Wheat Ridge, Jefferson County and others have been exploring options for improving traffic conditions in the area of the I-70/32nd Avenue Interchange. These possible improvements are needed to address current conditions as well as the projected traffic increases resulting from anticipated regional growth. Part of this expected growth includes new retail development proposed west of I-70, including a Cabela’s Retail Showroom. A major milestone in this process of exploring options was reached in September when the CDOT Transportation Commission approved the project’s System Level Feasibility Study. The System Level Study looked at nearly twenty different options for improvements within the study area. Using established technical evaluation criteria and significant input from the local community, the System Level Study recommended three “build” alternatives be advanced for further evaluation in addition to a “no action” alternative, which also will be evaluated. With the Commission’s approval, CDOT and the Federal Highway Administration are now leading a process to conduct this additional analysis, referred to as an “Environmental Assessment” or “EA.” The purpose of the EA is to further evaluate environmental impacts associated with the alternatives under consideration. Rigorous evaluation criteria will be used during this study and additional public input and involvement throughout the process is requested and will be made available. Please note that many of these documents are large files and may take time to download, especially from a dial-up connection. http://www.cabwheatridge.com/go/doc/941/89344/ http://www.cabwheatridge.com/go/doc/941/89344/ Environmental Assessment Overview Cabela's 2005-11-21T10:22:59-07:00 http://www.cabwheatridge.com/go/doc/941/89345/ http://www.cabwheatridge.com/go/doc/941/89345/ Environmental Assessment Overview Cabela's 2005-12-15T16:15:16-07:00 http://www.cabwheatridge.com/go/doc/941/89346/ http://www.cabwheatridge.com/go/doc/941/89346/ Environmental Assessment Overview Cabela's 2005-11-21T10:25:22-07:00 http://www.cabwheatridge.com/go/doc/941/89347/ http://www.cabwheatridge.com/go/doc/941/89347/ Environmental Assessment Overview Cabela's 2005-11-21T10:27:52-07:00 http://www.cabwheatridge.com/go/doc/941/89348/ http://www.cabwheatridge.com/go/doc/941/89348/ Environmental Assessment Overview Cabela's 2005-11-21T10:29:35-07:00
