Cons
-Access to the recreation center could be impacted by reservoir park traffic
-The alignment traverses very hilly existing topography, requiring significant earthwork to construct roadway
-The shorter road length could cause vehicle backup onto Harvest Road on high volume park use days
-The alignment bisects travel corridor and critical habitat of American Pronghorn
-May require widening existing Alexander Drive to three lanes to accommodate traffic
