Draft Problem Statement
The Coulee Region Transportation Study, Planning and Environment Linkages (PEL) phase focuses on resolving existing and long-term transportation issues between I-90 and US 14/61. The focus of the study is to identify strategies that address safety, congestion, environmental concerns, multimodal deficiencies, infrastructure deterioration, and to support economic development and livability in the Coulee Region.
The need for system improvements is based on a combination of factors relating to existing transportation problems and deficiencies, land use planning, corridor preservation, future travel demand, local community interests, and modal interrelationships.

What factors go into a transportation system?

Traffic Volume
Need more traffic data, the peak hour data didn’t tell us much
We must have more traffic data available to frame our history
Need at least 1 or 2 more meaningful slides with traffic volumes
