This will help shorten response time for the Police Department in serving the western portion of the City. VII. ALTERNATIVES (describe any ocher sites or methods that could be used to achieve the purpose of your project while avoiding or minimizing wetland'water impacts: Attach additional sheets, if needed). The road segment is short and extends from an existing road so it cannot be aligned to completely avoid the wetland but has been moved as far north as possible to minimize the impact to the wetland.
