  • Abstract:
    ISTEA includes specific requirements for inclusion in studies of Major Investment Projects in Metropolitan Planning Areas. The State of Michigan initiated a Major Investment Study (MIS) in October 1994 for the redesign and reconstruction of a 7 mile long section of I-94 from the I-96 (Jeffries) Freeway Interchange easterly to its interchange with Conner Avenue. This section of I-94 serves a number of areas of special importance in Detroit and is also an integral link in the entire Detroit Freeway System. It must also be emphasized that I-94 carries a high volume of commercial traffic, and constitutes a significant transcontinental and international trade route throughout its entire length. To achieve consensus building, an Interagency Coordination Committee (ICC) which included representatives of MDOT, FHWA, FTA, SEMCOG, the City of Detroit, and Wayne and Macomb Counties, was established and which maintains an active role in project decision making. A very ambitious schedule of 30 months was set for the completion of this study. The most pressing need for maintaining the project schedule is caused by the advanced state of deterioration of the Dequindre Yard Bridge, requiring its replacement; this is one of the largest bridges in Michigan, carrying I-94 over the Dequindre Rail Yard. Major issues on this project include: 1.) Balancing the need to proceed quickly with the need for a thorough development and analysis of alternatives for the redesign of the entire study section and conformance to MIS requirements; 2.) Balancing conflicting goals of selecting the best alternative and minimizing displacements; 3.) How great a percentage of the entire MIS effort on a major urban project should be expected to be concerned with public involvement/public information; 4.) Producing recommendations that are specific enough for final design to commence while retaining enough flexibility to meet changing situations that cannot yet be anticipated. The paper will examine these issues and other major study elements, the degree to which they are, or are not, being successfully addressed through the MIS process, and areas for possible improvement of the MIS process.
