Transportation-focused
Generic Environmental Impact Statement (t-GEIS)
The t-GEIS is being done to identify, examine, and evaluate the transportation-related impacts on the surrounding community of hypothetical population growth at Cornell University over the next ten years. It will also explore possible mitigations to these impacts.
The Draft t-GEIS process and findings over 2006 are expected to inform transportation planning for the campus as well as the planning and stakeholder process for the master plan for their duration. It needs to be understood that the nature of the interaction depends on their respective schedule and timeline of each initiative. Specifically, the transportation study can inform the CMP of the impacts of population growth during the next 5 –10 years on area-wide transportation systems, and depending on the schedules of both initiatives, of feasible and appropriate mitigations alternatives that may be considered.
