Meetings with the public occurred during key points in the process to provide input into the alternative development and selection of the Preferred Alternative. In addition to the two meetings discussed below, a public meeting will be held during the EA public comment period, on August 12, 2008.

February 2, 2006 - The first open house public meeting for the I-90 EA was held to gather public input on any issues along the project corridor, such as alternative service road realignments, access to properties, safety, traffic operations, and potential environmental impacts. It was held at the Stage Stop reception hall near Exit 48.

About 85 people signed in at the door. Two 25-minute presentations, held at 4:00 and 6:30 pm, presented the proposed project’s purpose, process and schedule. There were many informal one-on-one discussions between citizens and SDDOT and consultant personnel, who discussed alternatives, listened to input, and answered questions.

April 25, 2006 - A second meeting was held to get more public input on the preferred service road alignments and the reconstructed interchanges, as well as any other issues of interest along the corridor. About 75 citizens signed in at the door. Two brief presentations were made on the project’s purpose, process, and proposed schedule.

Written comments were collected at both public meetings and were considered throughout the alternative selection process. Comments generally expressed interest in the placement of the North and South Service Roads.
