Hi All,

I wanted to share the attached memorandum with the subject project team to see if you had any comments.

The only comment I have is I do not see any ITS or “parallel corridor” evaluations in the memo. Originally I believe wehad discussions on including existing and proposed. Maybe those will be evaluated as a subset of the lane additions. Iam working with Jason Richardson on getting plans for the tunnel area but they are not yet available. Jason please addany thoughts.

Thanks.

All See the revised memo. We have indicated that this is indeed referencing the 2012 Six Year Plan projects. We havealso identified the projects of significance by their Six Year Plan # that are relevant to each alternative. The typo aboutKY 305 is fixed. And the reference to Alt. 6 has been corrected as well.

Please let me know if there are any other comments, and if not we can agree on these alternatives and the methodologyand more forward with our analysis.

Thanks

Shawn

Shawn,

Thomas Witt and I reviewed and have some general comments:

1. Include 2012 before the Six Year Plan reference to eliminate confusion as we currently have a 2014recommended plan.

2. Instead of stating blanket statements such as “all projects that are identified to be in place by 2020” or “allprojects in place by 2040” could the projects be listed so we wouldn’t have to reference other documents?

3. The second to last bullet mentions KY 305, but there is not a KY 305 in Louisville. Assume this is a typo.

Thanks.

Judi, Tom and Mikael

Attached is a memorandum that outlines the freeway alternatives that we are proposing to analyze for the I 265Programming Study. We would like to get you and other KYTC staff to provide feedback on these before we begin thein depth analysis.

Feel free to email or call to discuss this document.

Thanks
