This project is on the EIP 5-year list.

• Air Quality
  Air emissions modeling conducted verify that construction of the project is not anticipated to exceed standard levels for air quality. Additionally, once implemented, the roundabout would improve air quality by improving traffic flow, reducing idling times and improving acceleration conditions, and by improving the transportation network to support a walkable or bikeable community. The project does not propose new lanes or new uses that could encourage an increase in vehicle trips. Therefore, the project is anticipated to have a beneficial impact on operational air quality emissions.
• Recreation
  Enhance the existing facilities and provide connectivity for active transportation users through each leg of the intersection.
• Soil Conservation
  Enhance disturbed SEZs with new project features for stormwater quality.

• Transportation and Sustainable Communities
  The project would improve safety and mobility for all modes of travel, include lighting and signage, reduce reliance on private automobiles, provide multimodal transportation improvements like visible crosswalks and a shared-use path for pedestrian and bicycle movements, provide opportunity for future growth of transit facilities to enhance circulation, and provide opportunities to experience Meyers as a pedestrian or cyclist. The project would close a major gap in the area’s active transportation system by providing full access for nonmotorist users to the neighboring amenities.
• Water Quality
  The project is proposing to install permanent treatment Best Management Practices (BMPs) to improve water quality and meet County, TRPA, Caltrans, and federal standards. These water quality features would include a new infiltration basin on the northeast corner of the intersection with the goal of routing as much of the runoff as possible to the basin. The project proposes to generally maintain existing site drainage patterns and, where feasible, the existing storm drain system would be maintained and adjusted as needed.
