Department of Transportation officials have expressed
concern about fast-tracking freeway studies, according
to WisDOT documents when they evaluated the Southeastern
Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission's recommendations
for freeway reconstruction.
“From
both a public involvement and a procedural standpoint,
I am concerned about fast-tracking a PE / EIS
on these segments if construction would not occur
for some time. How many years would the results
of a PE or EIS be valid prior to construction?
How many changes in local leadership could occur
if a PE or EIS is done several years prior to
construction?” --Dan Yeh, WisDOT office
of public affairs
“Any
schedule for PE/EIS studies must recognize the
ability to fund not only the study, but implementation.
We don’t want the studies too far out in
front of implementation.” -- Ken Leonard,
now retired deputy administrator of WisDOT's Division
of Transportation Investment Management
