(primarily Hopyard Road and Stoneridge Drive) may significantly degrade fuel efficiency and not produce fuel savings or emission reductions. The following two tables summarize how evening peak hour driving time would increase, while driving distances decrease for local drivers when the road widening is removed from the roadway network.

Based on the miles traveled and travel times for cut-through traffic, it appears that not widening Foothill Road would have little effect on the total number of cut-through vehicles in the City during the evening peak hour.
