Dallam said, in summary, that such an upgrade does little to alleviate <br />the traffic on the TH 12 corridor. It would require an uimeeded upgrade of CR 6, and as <br />such, it would not be cost effective and does not solve the transportation need caused by the <br />TH 12 bottleneck in Long Lake. The Committee discussed the local roads that would <br />require probable improvements as a result of upgrading these major roadways. <br />Comments from the Audience were then received. Questions and comments received and <br />addressed included the following: <br />-potential impact to a nursing home in Long Lake <br />-affect of project on adjacent (but not inclusive) property value effects <br />~ consideration of existing and planned development in judging accessibility by alternative <br />-farmland in Orono <br />-school district potential tax losses <br />-preliminary layouts illustrating roadway alternative rights-of-way in the EIS (as a <br />measuring factor, rather than the currently identified corridor. <br />~ the adequacy of the qualitative data to make project determinations and the proposed <br />ranking system (i.e. equal weight to all alternatives) <br />The next meeting was set for October 22, 1991. A draft of the Draft Scoping Decision <br />Document (DSDD) will hopefully be available at this meeting. <br />The meeting adjourned at approximately 2:20 p.m. <br />RDH/rdh <br />14170/ieciiinin4ep
