University Drive Interchange Concepts Not Moving Forward Concept 1 - Modified Cloverleaf with Ramp (A) Concept 2 - Modified Cloverleaf with Ramp (B) Concept 3 - Partial Cloverleaf Why this concept is not moving forward • Traffic operations: Distance provided for lane changes for WB traffic to University reduced. • Cost implications: High construction cost to build additional underpass, new bridge, retaining walls and additional structure for pedestrians to cross the ramp in the SW. Why this concept is not moving forward • Traffic operations: Distance provided for lane changes for WB traffic to University reduced. • Cost implications: High construction cost to build new bridge, new underpasses, new SB to WB ramp and retaining walls in the NW and SW. Why this concept is not moving forward • Technical challenges: Difficult to accommodate WB left- turn movement on north side of interchange because of slope. • Traffic operations: WB to SB movement changes from free flow to signalized. Concept 4 - Partial Cloverleaf with Collector Road Concept 5 - Diverging Diamond Interchange Why this concept is not moving forward • Technical challenges: Not enough room in SW and SE corners to accommodate changes. • Community impacts: Ramp would be realigned closer to residential property. • Traffic operations: Access from NB to WB and EB to NB is removed. Why this concept is not moving forward • Technical challenges: Difficult to accommodate WB left-turn movement on north side of interchange because of slope. • Community impacts: Major construction impacts. Ramp would be realigned closer to residential property. • Cost implications: Requires additional bridge structure and new ramps.

University Drive InterchangeConcepts Not Moving ForwardConcept 1 - Modified Cloverleaf with Ramp (A) Concept 2 - Modified Cloverleaf with Ramp (B) Concept 3 - Partial Cloverleaf

Why this concept is not moving forward• Traffic operations:

Distance provided for lane changes for WB traffic to University reduced.

• Cost implications: High construction cost to build additional underpass, new bridge, retaining walls and additional structure for pedestrians to cross the ramp in the SW.

Why this concept is not moving forward• Traffic operations:

Distance provided for lane changes for WB traffic to University reduced.

• Cost implications: High construction cost to build new bridge, new underpasses, new SB to WB ramp and retaining walls in the NW and SW.

Why this concept is not moving forward• Technical challenges:

Difficult to accommodate WB left-turn movement on north side of interchange because of slope.

• Traffic operations: WB to SB movement changes from free flow to signalized.

Concept 4 - Partial Cloverleaf with Collector Road Concept 5 - Diverging Diamond InterchangeWhy this concept is not moving forward• Technical challenges:

Not enough room in SW and SE corners to accommodate changes.

• Community impacts: Ramp would be realigned closer to residential property.

• Traffic operations: Access from NB to WB and EB to NB is removed.

Why this concept is not moving forward• Technical challenges:

Difficult to accommodate WB left-turn movement on north side of interchange because of slope.

• Community impacts: Major construction impacts. Ramp would be realigned closer to residential property.

• Cost implications: Requires additional bridge structure and new ramps.
