Pros
-No private land acquisition required

-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
