<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Idaho Dept. of Transportation is planning to
study the route of a segment of Highway 95 -- again -- without a serious look at
the larger, cumulative impacts of their decision. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From what I could find on your website, your study
focuses entirely on the 7 mile segment of Highway 95 in question. You do
not include the larger impact. You do not widen the study to include the
vital discussion of the future of transportation in the Moscow area, including
the issues of whether we will need or want ring roads or a Highway 95
bypass.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The present discussion of the route of Highway 95
and the question of any future bypass (moving Highway 95 around Moscow) are
directly linked. Logically, we can not discuss this routing issue without
first discussing the bypass issue. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You have the opportunity to facilitate the larger
discussion of transportation in Moscow (highway route, bypass, and ring road
system) that will enable sound decision-making. Without that perspective,
this EIS process is incomplete.</FONT></DIV>
