Project HistoryWest and East Truck Routes proposed in 1983 County Transportation Plan as two-lane, minor arterialsCity officials contacted the state in 2007 to initiate a truck route studyAssessment of existing conditions and future developmentCorridor Modeling – QuantmPublic Meeting – May ‘08Stakeholder Meetings – August and December ’08Agency Meeting – December ’08MDT-District Presentation to City Council – January ‘09

Purpose of the Truck Route Study
To assess the need for a truck routeTo gauge the level of public support for a truck routeTo identify potential corridors for a truck routeTo generate planning-level cost estimatesTo explore private/local/state/federal funding mechanisms and financial feasibility of a truck route
