* As part of the public process POITRA created and maintained the public information websites for each of the seven early action projects and the South I-25 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). All these sites were graphically coordinated and made accessible from a single menu page. The early action projects continued from design through construction simultaniously with the overall EIS.

I-25 and 5th Street Overpass Photosimulations CDOT, Castlerock, Colorado The South I-25 Corridor Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) included the South I-25 Corridor and the converging US 85 Corridor. Together they comprise the fastest growing transportation corridor in the Denver Metro area. It carries increasing daily traffic volumes from communities south of Denver to the Denver Technological Center (DTC) and Downtown Denver. The overall EIS conducted for the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) addressed future capacity concerns while seven 'early action' projects addressed more immediate safety and congestion issues. POITRA Visual was selected to provided public outreach support for the EIS and the early action projects which included a comprehensive website, public meeting materials and newsletters, as well as design visualization. *

POITRA Visual also created the EIS newsletters giving the entire project a consistant and familiar appearence.

One of the early action projects proposed a new overpass structure at 5th Street in Castlerock. The overpass provides an additional crossing of I-25 to relieve congestian at the existing Wolfensberger Interchange just to the north. Photo-simulation was the medium chosen as the best way to communicate design concepts to the public.The past bridge and highway design experience of the POITRA Visual principals made it possible to illustrate a very accurate structure from very conceptual level plans. The simulation for the 5th street early action project depicted the completed structure and the existing interstate. Later in the project when the study process was nearing completion the resulting EIS widened I-25 was added to the original simulation. The final photosimulation images were used to present the design to the public on the website and as printed public hearing materials for the EIS. POITRA graphic artists took care to create presentation panels that visually coordinated the meetings with the familiar public website.
