These impacts result in <br />substantial cost. <br />Underpass could be considered a future opportunity but due to impacts <br />and cost it was not determined feasible within this study's planning <br />horizon. <br />* Details supporting the traffic and safety analyses are documented in the Existing and No -Build Traffic Conditions Tech Memo. <br />RAM s(YGATEWA 46o44 <br />
