Internal Road System While much of the internal road system on Rough and Ready Island is adequate for current traffic volumes,improvements will be necessary to accommodate development on the island: • Assuming that the principal access to Rough and Ready Island is Daggett Road, development of an east-west arterial through the center of the island is critical. McCloy Road is recommended as the best alternative, and could tie into Fyffe Avenue just north of the Navy Drive Bridge to avoid the need to cross the railroad tracks.A new four-to five-lane arterial would then be constructed to tie into Humphries Drive. • Daggett Road would be improved from the bridge to McCloy Road. • Collector roads would be constructed from Daggett Road and McCloy Road. Locations would be determined by the type and location of development. • After development,the area north of the intermodal spine would be paved hardstand, and roads would be defined by striping. Internal Rail and Rail Bridge Improvements to the rail system on the island would occur in several phases to support the maritime and commercial/industrial developments. Phase II-A—Initial Intermodal Yard These upgrades would serve the first stage of the 50 acre container facility(Phase II). An intermodal yard would be developed parallel to the existing rail storage yard, on top of the existing Fyffe Avenue. Several buildings north of Fyffe Avenue would also be removed as part of this development. Four or five tracks will require upgrade, six new turnouts will be installed for the intermodal yard, and eight turnouts installed for the storage yard. The new yard will be stub ended for this phase, and contain three pairs of tracks. • Phase II-B—Automotive Loading Facility The Phase II auto loading facility will be on the northwest comer of the island. A single track will lead to the facility,where it will fan out into 5 stub ended loading tracks. If this is constructed before the storage yard, at least one track the entire length of both yards will require upgrading. Storage/switching tracks near the facility may be necessary depending upon the level of use. Four new turnouts would be installed. Phase 11-C—Container Facility The Phase 11 container facility will be located just east of the auto loading facility. A single track will start off the auto facility lead and will fan out into 3 stub ended tracks. Three new turnouts would be installed. Phase III—Complete Intermodal Facility These upgrades would service the Phase III intermodal facility. The tracks will be a mirror image of the work proposed in Phase II-A, building off of the three stub ends to create a double-ended facility. Six new turnouts will be installed. Whai f The wharf is in generally good condition. However, several areas of work would be necessary to upgrade the wharf such that it could service the new maritime facility. Dredging adjacent to the wharf has been partially addressed in a mitigated negative
