The preferred alternative would reconstruct and widen the existing roadway from two lanes in each direction to three lanes in each direction.  The typical section would include two 12-foot-wide travel lanes and one 15-foot-wide outside travel lane (in each direction), a typical 18-foot raised median, and 5-foot-wide sidewalks on both sides of the roadway.  The project would convert the open ditches to a curb-and-gutter drainage system.  The preferred alternative would require approximately 25 acres of additional right-of-way.  The proposed right-of-way within this section would be approximately 150 feet.  The lane configurations (e.g. number of lanes) vary along the project limits to accommodate turning movements at various intersections and driveways. Improvements to cross streets (Walnut Street, Halbert Drive, and McLean Road) at the eastern project terminus are also proposed
