They are considering three options. One would be to widen IH-35 where it currently sets, the second option would be to move ·1H-3S to the West, and the third would be to move IH-35 to the East. The public involvement is to get input as to which of these would be most favorable, they are hoping to have the f"mal decision and design completed by the end of 2006. They are taking into consideration environmental issues, safety, possible displacements and public input. Once the project is started, it will take approximately 4 to S yean to complete.
