Alternatives
Identified 2 basic alternatives No connection to Senior Center driveway – existing Connection to Senior Center driveway
F-1-21
SLIDE 7
Alternative 1 – Single Point Driveway
F-1-22
SLIDE 8
Alternative 1
Essentially the existing configuration No connection to Senior Center driveway Requires turn around area for buses Limited access from Goldenwest (right in/right out) No accidents related to driveway since 2005 opening Goldenwest traffic can be challenging to some –
requires patience to wait for appropriate gaps
Estimated construction costs - $255,000

SLIDE 9
Alternative 3 – Full Access Driveway from Senior Center Driveway
F-1-24
SLIDE 10
Alternative 3
Median opening for full access All vehicles can use signal access Potential removal of existing driveway Turnaround needed for buses Additional construction challenges due to differing
elevations of Senior Center driveway
Estimated construction cost - $343,000
F-1-25
SLIDE 11
Conclusions
Both alternatives are feasible for construction Both alternatives within expected budget - $610,000 Greater convenience with Alternative 3 Potential aesthetic considerations with Alternative 3 Both alternatives provide safe access – Alt. 3 with
additional controls that may be more acceptable to some motorists

Conclusions
No superior alternative based on engineering Decisions comes down to preferences Need to weigh relative importance of: Convenience Aesthetics Costs Traffic safety improvements
