FINDINGS FOR ALTERNATIVE ROADWAY DESIGNS AND "NO PROJECT" <br /> �= Three alternative roadway designs were evaluated. All three of the build <br /> alternatives would provide right-of-way to accommodate six lanes (expandable to eight <br /> lanes) between Interstate 5 and State Route 99 and right-of-way to accommodate four <br /> Austin Road. Further, <br /> lanes between State Route 99 and A , all build alternatives would <br /> have grade separations at railroads and waterways, a raised median throughout the <br /> corridor and dual left turns on all Arch-Sperry Road approaches. The alternative . <br /> roadway designs are illustrated in Figure 1. A summary of environmental effects of the <br /> three "build" alternatives is presented in Table 1. <br /> Findings for Alternative 1. Alternative 1 calls for the Arch-Sperry corridor to tie <br /> into the existing French Camp Road corridor, which would provide access to Interstate <br /> 5. This alternative would result in an unacceptable .degree of congestion at the <br /> intersection of the Arch-Sperry corridor and French Camp Road, even if both roads had <br /> six to eight lanes. Because .Alternative 1 would thus not meet the basic project <br /> l objectives, it was eliminated from further consideration. <br /> - Findings for�Alterh4tive' 2.

Although this alternative would meet the basic objectives of the <br /> project, it was rejected in favor of the proposed project. In addition to its significant land <br /> use impacts, Alternative 2 would not function as smoothly.from a transportation/ <br /> circulation standpoint, which would in turn increase noise impacts and air emissions. <br /> Findings for Alternative 3: Alternative 3 is the project proposal addressed in <br /> detail in this Program EIR. As with Alternative 2, it would provide a direct connection <br /> between the Arch-Sperry corridor and Interstate 5, and would meet the basic objectives <br /> f <br /> of the project. However, this alternative would adversely.affect land use on only one <br /> . - Redding,CA <br /> _ 13 - <br />
