PSR / PR Process
- PSR = Project Study Report
Clearly define Need and Purpose Develop Alternatives Look at Environm ental Constraints River Hydraulics Public Input Narrow Alternatives

PSR/ PR Process
- PR = Project Report
Environm ental Study & Docum entation Traffic Evaluations Engineering Estim ates Selection of Specific Project Description
- After this – design starts!

Option 1: Four Lane Crossing
- Replace with New Bridge
- Approach Work in Both Cities
Major Increase in Operational Perform ance

Option 2: 2-Lane as Phase 1
- Replace the Bridge
- Im prove Approaches in Both Cities
Minor Increase in Operational Perform ance

Option 3: 4-Lane Concept, Over Railroad
- Cross Over UPR Tracks into Marysville
- Replace with 4 Lane Bridge
- Greater Im pacts to Marysville

Traffic Considerations
- Eastbound Traffic Choke Points
―Intersection of Shasta/ Bridge Streets ―Merge Onto the Bridge

Traffic Considerations
- Westbound Traffic Choke Point
– Lane drop after J Street

Why is a 4 Lane Bridge Necessary?
- Northbound Hwy 70 = 2,496 PM peak hour
- Over Half, 1,434 utilize the Fifth St. Bridge
- Current System Restriction is the Bridge

Bike / Pedestrian Pathway Options
- Path on New Bridge
- Path on UPR Bridge
- Either One is Feasible
- $’s Now vs $’s Later

Public Outreach Plan Initial Public Meeting in each City
- Listen to public input
- Explain process & funding
- Present why 2-Lanes is even a consideration
Second Public Meeting in each City
- Present proposed project
- Explain how their com m ents influenced project
