A. For answers to the most common questions about the interchange proposal and economic impact study, read the Avon Interchange Questions and Answers.
B. NOACA staff and the Avon Study Team made several presentations to the Governing Board and Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) since January 2006. For persons who want an overview of the proposed project, this is a place to start:
C. The Avon Study Team has provided two overview documents. One is the Draft Purpose and Need dated January 17, 2007 (131 KB). This document will be labeled “Draft” throughout the entire environmental review process until a Record of Decision is completed. The other is a Summary (35 MB) that was provided on May 9, 2007. On July 5, 2007 a revised summary titled "Project Summary for NOACA Review IR-90 Nagel Road Interchange (pdf - 144 KB)" was sent to NOACA by Susan Swartz, TranSystems.
D. The City of Avon made a request for a NOACA Plan Amendment and TIP Amendment on December 1, 2006. This document (4.8 KB) includes some material found in other documents. One important item in the NOACA request is the City of Avon Council Resolution endorsing a new interchange at Nagel Road.
E. For a more detailed review of the study and its process, the first Planning Study Report was created in April 2006. The purpose of this report was to document the process of defining a problem, analyzing several alternatives, and making a recommendation for addressing the problem. There are four documents dated April 14, 2006:
a. Planning Study Report (4,077 KB)
b. Exhibits - Conceptual Alternatives (3,974 KB)
c. Appendix A - Public Involvement (26,587 KB)
d. Appendix C – Zoning Maps (692 KB)

Note: Appendix B has been removed. It contained traffic and level of service data for all the conceptual alternatives, using traffic data that did not account for proposed new development. Future traffic forecasts and level of service analyses are provided in later documents.
F. In January 2007 an Addendum to the Planning Study Report (131 KB) was created.
G. This document uses certified traffic provided by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT):
ODOT Certified Design Year Peak Hour Traffic (December 28, 2006 – 1,728 KB)
