3 Complete I 44/Highway 5 Alignment Study Council approved the North South Alignment Study by Crawford, Murphy, and Tilly (CMT) February Study Scope of Work Data Collection Environmental Review Traffic Impact Analysis Alternative Development Right of Way Impact Analysis Administration/Project Management

4 Existing Route 5 (Jefferson Avenue) I 44 to Seventh Street Approximately 20,000 vehicles per day More than 2,000 heavy trucks per day Approximately 1.6 miles (8,200 linear feet) 9 Signalized Intersections At grade railroad crossing Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Mostly Commercial development with high number of driveway access 99 Driveway Access Points 25 Street Access Points Vehicular Crash Rate is four times higher than average Missouri state routes and twice as high as other five lane roadways in the state.

5 Existing Alternate Routes Washington Avenue Constructed as Jefferson Relief in 2001 As high as 10,000 vehicles per day in some sections Accessed both from Jefferson Avenue and Exit 130/Elm from the east. Exit 135 (Sleeper) Route F and BB State rural routes with no shoulders At grade railroad crossing Highway 65 Northbound to Highway 54 Eastbound GPS navigation systems are dynamic in prompting the quickest route.

6 Alternates Considered South of Dry Auglaize Creek Red Route Elm at the existing Booten Avenue intersection $11.7 million Orange Route Elm at the existing Seminole Avenue intersection $12.3 million Blue Route Elm approximately 450 feet east of the existing Booten Ave. intersection$11.6 million North of Dry Auglaize Creek Purple Route Route 5 at the existing Keller Drive intersection $6.9 million Yellow Route Route 5 at the existing Goldenwood Road intersection $7.7 million Green Route Route 5 at the existing Highway YY intersection $5.0 million

7 South of Auglaize Creek Intersection Options

8 North of Auglaize Creek Intersection Options

9 Recommended Alternative by CMT The actual cross country alignment is not as important as the connection points. As has been mentioned in this report the land in the area of this new arterial route is mostly farmland. The final alignment can take many different routes but must have logical and easily accessible termini. Yellow Route Route 5 at the existing Goldenwood Road intersection $7.7 million Blue Route Elm approximately 450 feet east of the existing Booten Ave. intersection $11.6 million
