Preliminary Study of Interchange Alternatives - October 2000:During the May 2, 2007 Peer Review Work Session, the Project Team provided background information to the Peer Review Panel. The Project Team referenced the "Starting Point" for the Route 250 Bypass Interchange at McIntire Road project as the conceptual alternatives presented in the City of Charlottesville report "Preliminary Study of Interchange Alternatives - October 2000." The October 2000 Report recommended Alternatives 3, 4, and 6 should be further evaluated with a functional design review. The Project Team began its efforts by completing functional design review of Alternatives 3, 4, and 6, and presented its findings to the Steering Committee (January 11, 2006) and to the Public (March 23, 2006).
