3.10 TRANSPORTATION

 

Review the potential impact of the project on the transportation patterns within the surrounding community. Traffic control devices, access to State Roads, safety considerations, fuel and chemical delivery requirements, and tall structures near airports are some of the topics for consideration.

 

Normally, contact with these agencies is only necessary if there may be a potential impact.
