Public Hearing - April 30, 2014 & May 1, 2014 Project ID: 1229-04-01 - Silver Spring Drive to WIS 60 - Milwaukee and Ozaukee Counties
I-43 North-South FreewayCorridor Study
Public Hearing
WELCOMEPurpose of the hearing:
Obtain public opinion on the following aspects of the
I-43 North-South Freeway Corridor Study
• Proposed improvements and alternatives being considered
• The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is the decision document for the proposed improvements. Copies of the Draft EIS are available at today’s hearing
• Project activities that require authorization from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under the Clean Water Act; For example, placing fill into waters of the U.S. including wetlands
Thank you for attending and contributing to the I-43 North-South Corridor Study!

• Freeway already congested expand to 6-lanes
• Leave the freeway 4-lanes or more transit over widening
• Median barrier; low-tension cable guard not working
• Poor pavement conditions
• Manage additional stormwater runoff*

HIGHLAND COMMENTS
• Adding an interchange would reduce traffic on Port Washington Road
• Adding an interchange would provide more direct access to Concordia, MATC, and Columbia St. Mary’s - Ozaukee
• Adding an interchange would reduce traffic on Lakeshore Drive
• Adding an interchange may negatively impact traffic in adjacent neighborhoods
• Not in favor of higher taxes to pay local share of interchange
• New interchange would require improved intersection at Highland Road and Port Washington Road

The I-43 North-South Freeway Corridor Study can accommodate future transit improvements recommended in the 2035 Regional Transportation Plan (SEWRPC).Per Review, Update and Reaffirmation of the Year 2035 Regional Transportation Plan, June 2010.
I-43 North-South FreewayCorridor Study
Project ID: 1229-04-01 - Silver Spring Drive to WIS 60 - Milwaukee and Ozaukee Counties Public Hearing - April 30, 2014 & May 1, 2014
• Transportation System Management (TSM) TSM elements improve existing transportation facilities and travel efficiency through highway and street traffic
management and other measures to help alleviate congestion.
Included in the I-43 North-South Freeway corridor:• Ramp Metering• Traffic Detectors• Freeway Monitoring/Advisory Information • Closed circuit television cameras• Crash investigation sites• Enhanced mile-marker reference posts (with highway shield and mile number)
• Transportation Demand Management (TDM) TDM elements reduce personal vehicular travel or shift travel to alternative times and routes, allowing for more efficient
use of the existing transportation system’s capacity.
Included in the I-43 North-South Freeway corridor:• See “Transportation Demand Management - Public Transit” display

2. Preferred alternative.
3. Includes theSplit Diamond Hybrid grade separation/without grade separation subalternatives.
4. Stream crossings include Fish Creek, its tributaries and tributaries to the Milwaukee River, including Ulao Creek and Indian Creek. All existing structures are either concrete box culverts or pipe culverts.
5. Potential habitat for the seaside crowfoot (Ranunculus cymbalaria), a state-listed threatened species, observed in the study corridor. Impacts to other threatened and endangered species and their habitat in the study corridor can be avoided.

Indirect effects anticipated?
Land use effect: Increasing congestion could cause development to shift away from primary study area (and to a lesser extent within secondary study area) to locations within the region that have less congestion
Land use effect: Facilitates planned redevelopment and development within primary study area (and to a lesser extent within the secondary study area)
Limited land use effect: Maintains existing access; supports existing businesses and neighborhoods and planned redevelopment within Milwaukee County primary study area
Limited land use effect: Maintains existing access; supports existing businesses and neighborhoods and planned redevelopment within Milwaukee County primary study area
Limited land use effect: Established land uses minimize effect; changed travel patterns; access available from nearby interchanges
Limited land use effect: Established land uses minimize effect. Some local concerns about traffic impacts and travel indirection of the “Grade Separation” subalternative; the “without Grade Separation” subalternative minimizes indirection. Supports Port Washington Road business corridors in Mequon, Bayside and Fox Point.
No change from existing conditions
Limited land use effect: Planned land uses likely to occur regardless of interchange alternative; nearby freeway access is already available.
Improved access and local implementation of the Mequon East Growth Area Plan would facilitate planned land uses.
