[Image description: Map of Alternative 3, which is a 22-foot roadway with a 10-foot sidewalk. Pros -No private land acquisition required -Powhaton Road can remain to provide a secondary, emergency use only access -All access to the park can now be controlled through the entry station -Reduces impacts to open space and allows for critical habitat including travel corridor of the American Pronghorn to remain in its current state -The existing topography is suitable for a new road, allowing the design to meet slope standards with minimal grading Cons -Access to the recreation center could be impacted by reservoir park traffic -May require widening existing Alexander Drive to three lanes to accommodate traffic -Due to limited access spacing, available turn lane storage along Harvest Road may not be adequate during peak travel times Estimated construction costs Alternative 1: $11,900,000 Alternative 2: $7,660,000 Alternative 3: $7,180,000 Alternative 4: $6,400,000 Alternative 5: $6,100,000]
