CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION <br /> Table 1-2 Feasibility Study Process and Approach <br /> Step Activity <br /> 1 To kick off the project, the County and WSDOT met and interviewed key stakeholders <br /> and held a webinar to collect public comments and concerns.A public survey was also <br /> conducted to obtain community concerns regarding current travel conditions on 1-90 <br /> in the study area. <br /> ................................................................................................................................................................... <br /> 2 Based on the information provided from the outreach process,the purpose for <br /> evaluating and confirming the needs to the 1-90 corridor were confirmed.The study <br /> area and priority of needs were refined. <br /> .................................................................................................................................................................... <br /> 3 Based on the purpose and need stemming from public input, alternative solutions <br /> were identified. Measures to rate the effectiveness of the alternatives (how they met <br /> the purpose and need of the project) were also developed. <br /> ................................................................................................................................................................... <br /> 4 The alternatives were evaluated (Tier 1 Evaluation) based on the criteria. As part of <br /> this analysis, the current, existing conditions within the study area were documented <br /> in support of the evaluation.Traffic modeling was performed to assess current and <br /> future conditions on 1-90 during periods of issues. <br /> ................................................................................................................................................................... <br /> 5 Findings from the initial Tier 1 Evaluation were presented to the M2 and M3 Teams. <br /> Based on input from the M2 Team,the evaluation criteria were revised, and a Revised <br /> Tier 1 Evaluation was performed. <br /> ................................................................................................................................................................... <br /> 6 Following the Revised Tier 1 Evaluation, the three alternatives that scored the highest <br /> in their ability to solve the challenges along the 1-90 corridor in the study area were <br /> identified. <br /> .................................................................................................................................................................... <br /> 7 The top three alternatives were then evaluated against each other, with some criteria <br /> modified or updated to further differentiate the three alternatives. <br /> ................................................................................................................................................................... <br /> 8 Based on public and stakeholder input, as well as discussion between the County <br /> and WSDOT, an alternative was chosen to move forward for further design and <br /> environmental analysis, pending project funding. <br /> VOLUME 1: FEASIBILITY REPORT 1-90 Corridor-Easton to Cie Elum Feasibility Study 1 7 <br />
