Study of potential improvements to Interstate 10 and State Route 210 (Barraza-Aviation Highway) in Tucson is the focus of a Feb. 15 public scoping meeting
Public input is needed to help ADOT determine future corridor improvements and the linkage of I-10 and SR 210
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), will hold a public scoping meeting to begin Phase II of a study to determine how best to improve mobility along I-10 between the intersection with Interstate 19 (I-19) to Kolb Road, southeast of downtown Tucson.
Another major component of this study is to identify a new alignment SR 210 (Barraza Aviation Highway) that would connect with I-10 east of downtown Tucson and possibly help ease congestion in that area.
The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 15, 2017, at the El Pueblo Regional Center, at 101 W. Irvington Road in Tucson. Doors will open at 6 p.m., with a formal presentation starting at 6:15 p.m. and the opportunity to meet with members of the project team until 7:30 p.m. The intent of this meeting is to allow the study team to share information and receive comments from the public on the study’s purpose and goals. This scoping meeting is the first in a series of meetings that provides an opportunity for public involvement with the study.
Phase I of this study was completed in 2015 and consisted of an engineering “feasibility report” that examined future transportation needs and potential corridor improvements to both I-10 and SR 210. Phase II of this study includes the preparation of a Design Concept Report and Environmental Assessment (EA). With FHWA acting as the lead federal agency, the EA will be developed in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969.
The public scoping meeting will feature informational display boards showing alternatives under consideration, a brief formal presentation about the study and an opportunity to ask questions, provide input and meet with project team members.
Comments submitted during the meeting, as well as those provided during the official comment period through March 21, 2017, will be part of the public record for this study.
