Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the following: (1) The process of performing an Indirect and Cumulative Effects (ICE) Analysis; (2) Factors that make this particular ICE Analysis unique; (3) The role that a Geographic Information System (GIS) played; and (4) The different effects that could occur based on the proposed alternatives This ICE Analysis was performed for the Intercounty Connector Project, located in portions of Montgomery and Prince George’s County, just outside of Washington DC. The proposed six-lane roadway would span approximately 20 miles from I-270 to I-95. Two build alternatives (Corridor 1 and Corridor 2) where evaluated as part of this analysis along with the No-Action alternative. Corridor 1 or the southern alternative extends approximately 18 miles from I-370/I-270 near the Shady Grove Metrorail Station to I-95 and US 1 south of Laurel. Approximately 16 of the 18 miles are located in Montgomery County and approximately 2 miles are in Prince George’s County. Corridor 1 is consistent with local master plans. Corridor 2 or the northern alternative extends approximately 20 miles from I-370/I-270 near the Shady Grove Metrorail Station to I-95/US 1 south of Laurel. Approximately 16 of the 20 miles are located in Montgomery County and approximately 4 miles are in Prince George’s County (Figure 1). Corridor 2 is not consistent with local master plans.
