LSA was retained to prepare an air quality analysis and a noise study for the I-15/Railroad Canyon interchange project located in the City of Lake Elsinore, California. Greenhouse gases and potential air quality impacts were analyzed in the air quality impact report along with the recommended mitigation measures. The noise study identified potential noise impacts and evaluated noise abatement measures. The City of Lake Elsinore, in cooperation with Caltrans District 8, proposes to construct a new full interchange at I-15/Railroad Canyon Road interchange and I-15/Franklin Street; reconstruct/widen Franklin Street overcrossing from 2 to 4 lanes; reconstruct/widen railroad undercrossing from 4 to 6 lanes (Summerhill Drive to Casino Road); reconfigure ramps; add auxiliary lanes from new Franklin Street interchange to Railroad Canyon Road; add ramp deceleration/acceleration lanes at Railroad Canyon Road and Franklin Street; realign southbound entry ramp at Main Street; and create a new Railroad Canyon Road northbound entry plus southbound exit ramps. The purpose of the proposed project is to relieve existing and future congestion, eliminate two of the five closely spaced traffic signals along Railroad Canyon Road, and improve the overall operational characteristics of the Railroad Canyon Road interchange by providing new freeway access to relieve congestion at the adjacent interchanges. The study evaluated three alternatives: a No Build Alternative and two Build Alternatives.
