The initial EA will address issues including wildlife impacts, bicycle and pedestrian connections and relocations of homes and businesses. The area contains dry cropland which provides foraging and nesting habitat for various wildlife and raptors. Mitigation of impacts to wildlife will be identified as part of the EA and conducted with construction of the preferred alternative.
