Recommended Alternative. The ultimate goal of the Collaborative Effort is to build agreement, to the extent possible, around a “recommended alternative” that identifies modes of travel, transportation improvements and mechanisms to protect or mitigate impacts to environmental, community and economic health and prosperity. The lead agencies of the I-70 Mountain Corridor PEIS are responsible for identifying and selecting a “preferred alternative”. Ideally, the recommended alternative and the preferred alternative will be identical. Lead agencies cannot delegate their responsibilities regarding decision making and selecting a preferred alternative. However, as equal and participating members of the Collaborative Effort, lead agencies are committed to crafting with all stakeholders a recommended alternative that can be supportive and consistent with a recommended alternative.
