I-205 Corridor Study
Draft Community Criteria Statements

November 18, 1999

The following statements have been pulled from the community issues document and reflect a summary of the issues gathered through stakeholder interviews, completed questionnaires, and input from the Citizens Committee. The statements are not in priority order.

The set of solutions for the I-205 Corridor Study need to:

• Improve local street connections that support the interchanges while minimizing neighborhood cut-through traffic.
  
  
• Work toward creating a regional grid system that reduces congestion, increases capacity and promotes safety.
  
  
• Balance neighborhood, city and county needs and concerns.
  
  
• Improve multi-modal and mass transit systems to reduce congestion on I-205 and local streets.
  
  
• Address future growth and economic impacts in the I-205 study area.
  
  
• Coordinate I-205 and I-5 studies, city and regional planning, state and local street planning. 
  
  
• Institute operational changes on the freeway to handle congestion, particularly during peak travel times.
  
  
• Allow for some level of improvement to be put in place that is cost effective as quickly as possible.
  
  
• Resolve the role and purpose of I-205 as a part of the regional transportation system.
  
  
• Improve freight mobility.
  
  
• Minimize impacts to existing neighborhoods.
