Auxiliary Lane Alternative
Project Description
Includes widening of the city street and the freeway. This alternative would not construct either the Westbound to Northbound or the Southbound to Eastbound Connector. West of I-5, new retaining walls would be constructed on the existing slopes, but impacts would be east of the existing sound walls.

Project Description
This alternative would require the realignment of Portofino Circle. To the North of Portofino Circle, new retaining walls are anticipated in the area of the existing sound walls. This alternative would require easements and would have right of way impacts, but would not require acquisition of residences.

Hybrid Alternative
Project Description
Construct the Westbound to Northbound connector and the Auxiliary Lane Alternative components in the south to east direction. Please note: while studies are required for both Westbound/Northbound and Southbound/Eastbound connectors, if the cost and impacts of one significantly outweighs its benefits, that factor can cause only one to be constructed.

Hybrid with Flyover Alternative
Project Description
The Hybrid with Flyover Alternative is a variation of the Hybrid Alternative. This alternative includes a proposed flyover structure that would connect eastbound Carmel Valley Road to the eastbound SR-56 fast lane, in addition to the westbound SR-56 to northbound I-5 connector featured in the Direct Connector Alternative. The Hybrid with Flyover Alternative would require use of non-standard lane and shoulder widths along Carmel Valley Road and would require tunneling behind the Carmel Valley Road undercrossing abutments to provide pedestrian/bicycle access. The Hybrid with Flyover Alternative would provide operational improvements in the westbound and northbound directions and would provide slight operational improvements over the Hybrid Alternative in the southbound and eastbound directions.
