The site
visit, the first step in Site Analysis, had three main objectives:
to verify data that had been collected to date, to document the
character of the roadway, and to provide team members with a personal
experience of the corridor landscape. Additionally, the team members
analyzed the following components of the right-of-way to gain
a perspective of the “big picture” issues affecting
the highway corridor:
- scenic resources and viewshed boundaries
- historical elements
- community settlement patterns
- land use and ownership patterns
- tourist attractions
- highway structures
Site Visit Summary Report (3.7 MB)
Site Analysis also included the collection and
review of relevant background information. This information was
compiled into a Data Inventory and Analysis report, which provides
data that is critical to understanding the key issues of the highway
corridors. This report includes information on the current environment,
such as topography, rest areas, and existing land use, as well
as projected data, such as planned NDOT projects and proposed
land use. The report draws initial conclusions about the meaning
of this data for the corridor planning process.
Data collection will continue throughout the
corridor planning process, but this report serves as an important
first step in understanding both the current and future issues
affecting the roads within the Southern US 95 and US 93 Corridor
Plan.
