Report on CC 250 Interchange Design work session
June 6, 2008
Council held a work session on June 4 to sort out what ideas need to be modified: to keep costs within the Federal earmark, to decrease the size/mass, to maintain bike/pedestrian access, to solve the Hillcrest closure dilemma, to fit this structure into the historic landscape, to avoid cut-through traffic on ND residential streets, and to redesign Nelson/Perry Drs. intersections.
Results: modified G 1 Alternative (250 Interchange web site- right sidebar - for G1 photo), signalized intersection, flat bridge rather than arches, move trail closer to road (these four will result in smaller footprint and hopefully project will come in within earmark)
Possible - only have trail on McIntire Rd. to 250 on the west side of McIntire which means one has to enter /cross at Harris St.area.
Hillcrest St. closure not addressed other than consultant said, it has to close due to ramp
No additional attempt made to mitigate the effects on the historic surroundings.
Redesign Nelson & Perry intersections is under review . . . by traffic engineer.
