BELLEVIEW AND I-25
INTERCHANGE PROJECT UPDATE
The I-25 and Belleview Interchange Project recently completed
an approximately 18-month technical analysis. Through this
data-driven process, the project’s Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC) identified two final interchange alternatives — a Split
Diamond with Union Avenue and a Single Point Urban
Interchange (SPUI). Both alternatives were analyzed in a
detailed evaluation of specific criteria, including traffic
operations, safety, multimodal, community impacts (access,
environmental, right-of-way, constructability), and cost.
Outgoing PTR Commission Members, from left to right:
Margaret Griffes, District 2; Len Goldstein, District 1;
Ellie Moller, District 2; Brent Neiser, District 3, Chair;
Bob Tews, District 3; and not pictured: Kathy McClintock,
District 4.
This evaluation concluded the technical analysis for the
conceptual project design stage. The TAC provided this
information to an Executive Committee (EC).
Before the EC makes a final decision, it is important to
have meaningful public involvement. The project team is
finalizing a Public Involvement (PI) Plan that is expected
to be implemented in October 2020 and will last several
weeks. The tentative PI Plan includes updates to the
existing project website, an intensive outreach effort to
encourage public engagement (residential and business), a
live virtual webinar consisting of project presentation and
question/answer feedback, this webinar will be recorded
and posted on the project website, and follow-up outreach
to maximize public feedback opportunities. The project
team will utilize a number of technological resources/tools
to conduct these meetings while taking into consideration
the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
After completion of the public
involvement process the EC will
evaluate both the results of the
technical analysis and feedback from
the public involvement process to
make a decision on which alternative
to advance. Based on the current
project schedule, the EC discussion
is anticipated to take place in
November 2020. The following step
will include preliminary design and
a focus on project funding.
