[Image description: Map of Alternative 5, which is a 22-foot roadway with a 10-foot sidewalk.
Pros
-Powhaton Road can remain to provide a secondary, emergency use only access
-All access to the park may now be controlled through the entry station pending alignment
-The longer road length minimizes vehicle backup onto Harvest Road on high volume park use days
-The existing topography is suitable for a new road, allowing the design to meet slope standards with minimal grading
-Reduces impacts to open space and allows for critical habitat including travel corridor of the American Pronghorn to remain in its current state
Cons
-This alternative runs through Cherry Creek School District and Arapahoe County owned property and will require easements or right-of-way
-Roadway shares access to school bus and staff parking lots
