Corridor studies can be done at this stage to investigate conceptual designs of alternatives and possible studies can be done at this stage to investigate conceptual designs of alternatives and possible impacts to determine the feasibility of moving a recommendation to project development through the impacts to determine the feasibility of moving a recommendation to project development through the programming process. Data from these studies can be used in project development to supplement programming process. Data from these studies can be used in project development to supplement information required for that process.
