REALIGNMENT
ALTERNATIVES
The evaluation of realignment alternatives,
which include segment 3 and segment 4, will also consider
water quality improvements for any existing roadways
to remain.
Segment
3 will be evaluated generally along the realignment
depicted. As the study progresses, additional information
may cause slight shifts in the alignments within the
corridor in order to minimize or avoid effecting natural
environmental, residential or commercial areas.
Segment
4 includes three alternative alignment corridors.
Two of these realignments have two short sub alignments.
The third alignment corridor in segment 4 follows the
existing Orange Avenue alignment.
Alternative
4a is a realignment within segment 4. This alternative
will curve through the south part of the Delta parcel
and will affect the currently proposed FSU Master Plan
for the Southwest Campus. Additional information and
evaluation may cause slight shifts in this alternate
alignment corridor in order to minimize or avoid effecting
natural environmental, residential or commercial areas.
Alternative
4a1 is similar to Alternative 4a except that
it uses the existing Orange Avenue alignment where it
connects to Segment 3, for a short distance to bypass
the eastern FSU Master Plan property, and then it leaves
the Orange Avenue alignment and curves onto realignment.
It then connects to and follows the remainder of the
4a
alignment. Additional information and evaluation may
cause slight shifts in this alternate alignment in order
to minimize or avoid effecting natural environmental,
residential or commercial areas.
Alternative
4b is the same as Alternative 4a except that
it connects to the existing Capital Circle south of
Cascade Drive, which causes it to avoid the wetlands
in the Delta parcel. Additional information and evaluation
may cause slight shifts in this alternate alignment
in order to minimize or avoid effecting natural environmental,
residential or commercial areas.
Alternative
4b1 is the same as alternative 4a1 except that
it connects to the existing Capital Circle south of
Cascade Drive, which causes it to avoid the wetlands
in the Delta parcel. Additional information and evaluation
may cause slight shifts in this alternate alignment
in order to minimize or avoid effecting natural environmental,
residential or commercial areas.
Alternative
4c is an alignment along the north or right side
of Orange Avenue. South (left) and center widening were
considered at the corridor stage. It was determined
that left and center alignment alternatives would not
be considered further due to their effects on residential
and developed properties and proximity to Grassy Lake.
Additional information and evaluation may cause slight
shifts in this alignment corridor in order to minimize
or avoid effecting natural environmental, residential
or commercial areas.
