6. Constraint mapping (Gap Analysis)

Following completion of the problem identification and the evaluation framework, the County used a gap analysis application to assist in alternative strategy identification. Selected layers of the GIS database were overlayed to create a map of particularly sensitive areas of natural and human resource concern. This map was modified to show where multiple resources were coincident, indicating the degree of sensitivity. This exercise was used to determine areas of widening restrictions along existing routes and potential locations for new alignments that minimize impacts.
