Resource Conservation. The recommended preferred alternative will improve traffic operations and facilitate improved traffic movements within the project area. The reducing congestion and related traffic delay is associated with faster average travel speeds and more efficient vehicle operation as compared to the no-build conditions. Improved operations are likely to reduce vehicle energy use. Caltrans Standard Specifications will be used to incorporate recycled materials into asphalt concrete paving and Portland cement concrete mixes. It is anticipated that this project will have a beneficial, or at a minimum, neutral effect on energy use.
