  1. I-71 at US 36/SR 37 Recommended Preferred Alternative October 20, 2016 Steve Fellenger, P.E. - Project Manager John R. Kasich, Jerry Wray, Ohio Governor ODOT Director

  2. Meeting Format • Open House and Presentation will Address: • Common Questions from April Meeting • Recommended Preferred Alternative • Opportunity for Questions at End of Presentation • Experts available to Answer Specific Questions in the Open House Portion

  3. Project Purpose • Reduce Congestion • Improve Operation of Interchange & Arterial • Maintain Efficiency on I-71 • Improve Safety • Improve East-West Connectivity • Support Future Growth

  4. Project History • 2011 – Stakeholder Meeting (October) • 2011-2014 ODOT Feasibility Studies • Considered Single Interchange Improvement • Recommended Combined Southern Interchange • 2012 Safety Project • 2016 Tanger Outlets - Road Improvements • 2016 - Public Meeting (April) • Introduced Three Alternative Alignments

  5. Why Now? • Delaware County Population Growth • Traffic Exceeding 2012 Safety Improvements • Bottlenecks at Existing Interchange and Surrounding Intersections • Addresses Long-Term Regional Traffic Issues • Existing Interchange Footprint Cannot be Improved Enough to Handle Future Traffic

  6. Directional Ramps - Footprint No Direct Business Access Due to Directional Ramps

  7. 2012 Safety Project

  8. Traffic Impact Studies • Purpose is to Mitigate the Effect of Development Traffic Only • Not Intended to Address Underlying Congestion or Capacity Problems on the Public Highway Network • Typically, All Identified Improvements are to be Built upon Opening of the Development

  9. Outlet Mall Improvements Tanger Outlets Traffic Impact Study - Opening Day Improvements • Two-Lane I-71 NB Exit Ramp • Widening of 36/37 • Wilson Road Extension South • Backage Road – A.D. Farrow to Wilson • 36/37 & Wilson Intersection

  10. Outlet Mall Improvements

  11. Outlet Mall Improvements Traffic Impact Study Improvements – Deferred • Improvements Include: • Turn Lanes and Ramp Lanes • Widening Parts of 36/37 • Value of the Deferred Improvements is $16.5 M

  12. Why $16.5M Deferred? • Some Improvements Deferred Because they are Not Necessary Now or Would Not be Necessary if a New Interchange is Built • Accounts for the Difference in Future Traffic – Does Not Solve the Long-Term Issues • Still Pursuing other Improvements as Needed How? • Agreement signed by Columbus Outlets LLC, Delaware County, ODOT, Berkshire Landing NCA and Berkshire Twp. • Agreement Provides ODOT the Sole Discretion When and Where the Monies are Spent

  13. Alternatives

  14. Alternatives Comparison • Blue Alternative has Greatest Impact on Environmental Resources (Streams, Wetland, Farmland) and Most Costly • Green Alternative has Less Impacts than Purple Alternative in the Following Five (5) Areas: • Less Residential Displacement • Less Commercial Displacement • Less Property Owners with Right of Way Impacts • Less Potential Endangered Species Habitat (Woodlot) Impacts • Less Potentially Hazardous Material Sites

  15. Recommended Alternative

  16. Phasing Plan

  17. Right of Way • Donations by Private Developers • Phased Construction • Acquisition Typically Begins about Two Years Prior to Each Phase – Can take 12-18 Months

  18. Project Funding • Estimated Total of All Phases - $162.6 M • Village of Sunbury - $100k, Requested $400k MORPC • Traffic Impact Improvements, Outlet Mall - $16.5 M • Private Development (NorthGate) – $33.2 M • 20.4% of Entire Project • New Community Authority (NorthGate NCA) – $82.4 M • 50.7% of Entire Project • TRAC - $30 M Requested

  19. Project Funding - Phase A • Total of Phase A - $54 M • Village of Sunbury - $100k, Requested $400k MORPC • Traffic Impact Improvements, Outlet Mall - $10 M • Private Development (NorthGate) – $25.8 M • New Community Authority (NorthGate NCA) – $7.7 M • TRAC - $10 M Requested

  20. Next Steps • Public Hearing (Environmental) – Early 2017 • Environmental Clearance Expected – April 2017 • Detailed Design of the Preferred Alternative • Construction of Phase A – Calendar 2018
