However, a landscaped median would help to reduce the visual impact of the roadway ifthere is adequate right-of-way. = ACCESS SPACING I :-"... A preliminary access plan was developed based on the access spacing criteria discussed earlier in - I this report. The preliminary access plan was developed to provide the safest operating conditions on Highway 96 while maintaining reasonable access to the adjacent land uses. Alternatives to the proposed access plan will be considered based on the public input. Under the proposed access plan - right-in, right-out access would be maintained at almost all of the existing access points in the :c corridor. Major intersections where traffic signals may be warranted are the following: - ..[ . Old Highway 8 . 1-35W Ramps - . Trunk Highway 10 :r: .
