Two alternatives approved for further study
The Citizens Advisory Committee and Project Development Teams voted in February to forward two alternatives into the Environmental Assessment. Both designs have the PBA West and Crossing Diamond Interchanges. The difference is on the east side of the interstate where the 'Fern Valley Through' and 'North Phoenix Through' designs will be analyzed.

| IAMP - Interchange Area Management Plan |
|
ODOT developed this Interchange Area Management Plan (IAMP) to comply with the
ODOT policy to prepare such plans for significant modifications to existing interchanges.
Appendix B contains the administrative rule that includes the policy. ODOT adopted the
policy as a way to maximize the value the people of Oregon receive from the large
expenditure of tax dollars required to construct a new interchange. This reflects ODOT's
elevated fiduciary responsibility that has resulted from the increasing scarcity of public
funds for transportation investments relative to need. It also reflects a more thorough
understanding of the relationships between transportation facilities and land use and
between local and state transportation networks. Together, these changes have also
increased the importance of collaboration between ODOT and the communities like the
City of Phoenix in which its transportation network is located.
PURPOSES OF THE IAMP
In light of the purpose of the proposed new Fern Valley Interchange and the policy to
prepare IAMPs referred to above, the purposes of this IAMP are to:
- Preserve the capacity of the proposed interchange for at least the first 20 years of its design life and the capacity of N. Phoenix Road, Fern Valley Road, and OR 99
in the vicinity of the interchange.
- Ensure the safe and efficient operation of the interchange and these roadways and protect their functional integrity, operations, and safety.
