Question 1

I understand elected officials have said this is a done deal. Is the elimination of the service roads and addition of roundabouts still in the consideration phase? In other words, is it possible after studies and public comment that this may not come to fruition as currently presented?

The short answer is yes, we are still in the environmental study phase and going through the environmental assessment process. This may cause us to reevaluate our plan if the environmental assessment dictates the direction we take. If there is a finding of no significant impact then we move to the final design. However, if there is a finding of significant impact then it could be reverted into an environmental impact statement and additional analysis would have to occur through the environmental impact process before continuing on beyond that.
