MDO, welcome to the Altamont forum. I don't believe you have posted here in the past.

I can only assume that your comments above are because the SP studied this route and you had the opportunity to at least review the results.

Is there any more on this study that you can share with us? I don't really expect a document link, but even just a description of the route studied would be very interesting.
