US 14/WIS 11 corridor study - schedule

The US 14/WIS 11 corridor study will consist of four phases. The public is invited to participate in each phase. Elected officials and government agencies will also work together to provide ideas and help make decisions during the process.

Date Phase Type of work/activity
Fall 2003 - spring 2006 1 Needs Assessment
The Needs Assessment phase focused on how the highway currently served people living and working in the area, how it moved regional traffic and how it was expected to operate in the future.

The project team gathered data about a variety of issues, such as current and future traffic volumes, crash data, environmental constraints, and how the highway affected land use patterns, the general public and economics in the area. Data was provided by local officials and committee members and included in the study.
Spring 2006 - summer 2008 2 Develop alternatives
A full range of improvement alternatives was developed to meet the needs of the corridor. These alternatives were developed in coordination with local officials and state and federal agencies. The full range of alternatives will be narrowed down to a range of feasible alternatives which will be carried through the environmental document.
Summer 2008 - Spring 2009 3 Evaluate alternatives
Evaluating the different alternatives and receiving feedback from the public regarding the alternatives. Evaluation of the alternatives will be based on environmental and local impacts, level of mobility and safety improvement, cost, right of way needs and other factors.
Spring 2009 - summer/fall 2010 4 Prepare Environmental Impact Statement
An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) comparing impacts of selected alternatives, including a "no-build" alternative and on-alignment improvements will be prepared. The EIS will suggest a preferred alternative.
