Background: The previous 

Alternatives Analysis (AA)/DEIS for the 

proposed improvements on the I–75 and 

I–575 corridors was published in May 

2007 and three public hearings were 

held. The proposed alternatives for the 

DEIS included truck only lanes and a 

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system with 

five BRT Stations. Comments from the 

public, agencies, local businesses and 

the trucking industry indicated the 

desire for an approach that does not 

include truck only lanes or a BRT 

system and focuses on a more cost 

effective solution with a smaller 

footprint and fewer impacts. This SDEIS 

provides a detailed evaluation of such 

an approach. The project corridor lies 

within Cobb and Cherokee Counties, 

Georgia. This SDEIS includes a reexamination of the purpose and need, 

alternatives under consideration, travel 

demand, affected environment, 

environmental consequences, and 

mitigation measures as a result of the 

improvements under consideration. One 

Build alternative and the No-Build 

alternative were considered for 

improvements to the I–75 and I–575 

corridors. The FHWA was the lead 

agency for the preparation of the SDEIS. 

The FHWA and GDOT invite interested 

individuals, organizations and Federal, 

State, and local agencies to comment on 

the evaluated alternatives and 

associated social, economic, or 

environmental impacts related to the 

alternatives.
