2. Seek to avoid or minimize local impacts to existing homes, businesses and farm operations along the corridor.
3. Seek to avoid or minimize impacts to wetlands, endangered or threatened species or any archeological and historic sites.
4. Work collaboratively with local officials, business owners and residents to identify and plan for the long-term improvements in a manner that benefits all.
