How was the preferred alternative reached as the final alternative for the U.S. 31 Kokomo Corridor Project?
The alternative was offered as the “preferred” alternative for the project in the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS). This option was reached after public and agency input recommended changes to one of the five “build” alternatives presented in the DEIS. These six alternatives, along with a No-Action Alternative, were assessed by INDOT, and the alternative presented in the FEIS was ultimately selected for recommendation to the FHWA for its Record of Decision on the project.
