alternatives were
considered. A preferred
alternative was selected
in 1997, but rejected in
1999. The new EIS will
be complete in 2004,
with preliminary
engineering for the
Trump Ave to OH 44
segment taking place
that year. In 2005,
preliminary engineering
will begin for the OH 44
to OH 9 segment and
design work will take
place for the Trump Ave
