[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RIght...remember when there were like 15 alternatives and then suddenly they were all excluded except the HOT PPP alternatives?[/quote]
Care to provide a link so I can read about the 15 alternatives that were proposed and seriously studied?[/quote]

DP. Here you go: https://495-270-p3.com/environmental/alternatives/

However, none of the alternatives were seriously studied. They were just there because federal law requires the study to include alternatives. It was obvious from the get-go that the Hogan adminsitration wanted HOT lanes with a P3, was only considering HOT lanes with a P3, and would only choose HOT lanes with a P3. [/quote]
You don’t know what an EIS. [/quote]

I'm the PP you're responding to, and if you follow the link, you can find the DEIS.[/quote]
You misunderstand. The analysis of alternatives in an EIS does not need to include realisitic or viable alternatives. It’s not a substitute for a feasibility study. It’s to assess the environmental and social impact of a project against potential alternatives, including no action. As a result, by claiming the EIS includes seriously studied real alternatives proves that you don’t know what an EIS is and what it’s for. [/quote]

So you're saying that the Hogan administration never seriously studied real alternatives (which I agree with), and this is an argument FOR the Hogan administration's plan?[/quote]
I have clearly said that you don’t know what an EIS is and instead of recognizing that, you want to change the subject. As I stated, because you are too ignorant to understand I may have to explain this like you are 5 because you are extremely ignorant of project development. The EIS is not a substitute for feasibility study which assessed whether options are technically, financially and environmentally feasible. There was an alternative studied. A feasibility study was developed for a monorail.

You don’t know this because you are fixated on opposing anything and everything, particularly if it’s from Hogan. You will note that none of the political opponents to the HOT lanes have endorsed the only studied alternative. That’s because you and they have no alternatives.[/quote]
