I recently read an opinion piece in the Marietta Daily Journal claiming the revive285 project might actually make traffic worse if managed lanes are implemented. Is this true?
No. All build alternatives under consideration will improve traffic flow. You can review the projected impact of managed lanes and the other alternatives on I-285 traffic (modeled in trip times, person throughput, etc.) in 2009’s Preliminary Criteria Matrix (page 3). It is important to understand that the need and purpose statement for this project, as required by federal regulations, specifically states that any alternative chosen must address the identified criteria: improve mobility options, create safer travel conditions, better manage and improve traffic congestion, and maintain or improve system linkages. Simply put, no alternative will secure approval from the Federal Highway Administration if it doesn’t address these criteria.
