Next Steps
Outreach and letters to impacted landowners –
through June 2018
Appraisals and interviews with property owners
Estimated 75-90 days between appraisals and offers for properties
Acquisition negotiations
200 property owners (commercial and residential) notified of access needs and surveys –
March 2017
Initiated 1-on-1 contact with residential relocation owners –

Noise Analysis Process
Identify noise receptors
Perform noise measurements at representative receptors along corridor
Perform noise modeling to identify impacts
Design and assess noise walls
Noise walls were shown in preliminary concept plans in 2015
Show preliminary noise wall locations on updated 2017 design plans
Perform final noise analyses based upon design plans & updated traffic
Is the wall feasible?Is the wall reasonable?Publish final noise study results and noise wall locations in 2018
Solicit input from benefited property owners & renters (voting process)
Include approved noise walls into final plans

Bicycle and Pedestrian Trails
Shared use trails along I-66 that integrate with County and Park
trails
New crossings of I-66 improve and expand bicycle and pedestrians routes
11 miles of new bike trails by
I-66
EMP
Over 7 miles of new bike trails by others
8 permanent count stations along the trail
11 bridges improved with additional bicycle and pedestrian
facilities

Preparing for Construction
Pre-construction condition surveys underway for nearby properties
Construction start-up
in Fall
2017 within existing right of way
Construction ramp-up
in Spring
2018
Construction to take place throughout the 22.5 mile corridor for duration of project
No lane closures on I-66 during peak periods
Public will be kept informed through Transform66.org, social media, TV, radio, print media, roadway signage
Provide advance construction information to adjacent communities and address issues of concern – Good Neighbor policySlide16
