North Powers Environmental
Assessment
CDOT has evaluated the northern portion of
Powers, from I-25 to Woodmen Road. The goal was to identify important
issues and to determine what actions should be taken. In January of
1998 the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a "Finding
of No Significant Impact" (FONSI). This FONSI approved the proposed
action in the EA.
Central Feasibility Study
CDOT has evaluated the central segment of
Powers, from Woodmen Road to Drennan Road. The goal was to identify
important issues and determine what the next steps should be. This
evaluation looked at the most likely interchange configurations.
The results allow CDOT to begin identifying the potential impacts that proposed improvements
may have on existing communities and future development along the
Corridor.
