Preliminary
Alternatives As part of Phase 1 of the West Lake Corridor New
Start Studies, potential build Alternatives were developed based on results
from previous studies including the West Lake County Corridor Major
Investment Study – December 2000.
Consideration was given to the goals and objectives developed in the
Purpose and Need document as well as to the physical conditions and
transportation opportunities within the study area. The proposed alternatives consist of
commuter rail and express bus investments. Click on Alternatives below for a
brief description: Alternative 1
– Commuter Rail from Alternative 2
– Commuter Rail from Alternative 3
– Commute Rail from Alternative 4
– Regional Express Bus Additionally, as the study progresses, a Baseline
Alternative will be developed in cooperation with the Federal Transit Administration. The Baseline Alternative is a set of
low cost investments intended to improve the operation of the existing
transportation system without constructing major new facilities. This alternative will be used to
isolate the specific benefits of the selected build alternative, which is
referred to as the locally preferred alternative (LPA). The evaluation of the alternatives will commence at
the conclusion of ridership and cost estimation
activities. |
