EB EB BRT NOTE: FR = fixed route transit, EB = express bus, BRT = bus rapid transit, SC = street car, LRT = light rail transit, and CR = commuter rail Section 5.0 contains a more detailed analysis of potential alignments for one or more premium transit modes in certain corridors, where reasonable alignment and mode options appear to exist. Further assessment of existing and prospective land use along corridors is included, along with identification of potential station locations and mode operating characteristics. Also identified are major right‐of‐way and traffic operating constraints on development of dedicated lanes. Given the limited study budget, the following corridors were initially proposed to be assessed in the work summarized in Section 5.0 (i.e., Task 5): • Extension of streetcar to South Tucson and north of UA • CRT in the I‐10 corridor • BRT and/or LRT along Oracle Road/Stone Avenue • BRT along 6th Avenue • BRT and/or LRT along Broadway Boulevard vs. Speedway Boulevard vs. Grant Road • BRT and/or LRT along Campbell Avenue/Kino Parkway to TIA 80
High Capacity Transit System Plan - Final Report June 2009 Refined Corridor Assessment 5.0 REFINED CORRIDOR ASSESSMENT 5.1 INTRODUCTION Section 5.0 provides a summary of work completed under Task 5 of the PAG HCT Study, which involved data collection and analysis to determine if one or more premium transit modes in each HCT corridor are best suited for inclusion into the updated HCT System Plan. Section 5.0 includes the development of several evaluation criteria for comparing modal alternatives in the HCT corridors and an objective, high‐level summary that helped PAG, the TAC, and the project team screen out any fatally flawed alternatives or alternatives that are not likely to have a measurable benefit. Section 5.0 concludes by identifying top‐ranked alternatives for more‐refined analysis in terms of preferred transit technology, routing, station locations, general service characteristics, detailed costs, and benefits. 5.2 DESCRIPTION OF CORRIDORS AND ALTERNATIVES Figure 48 depicts the corridors and HCT technology alternatives that were identified in Section 4.0 for analysis. Table 18 describes the corridors and alternatives in more detail. These corridors and alternatives were selected from 16 preliminary corridors in an initial screening of near and long‐term population and employment densities, low‐income population density, density of households with zero cars, land uses, location of major trip generators, trip patterns, local transit service use, and roadway operations. The HCT modes considered in Task 5 are BRT, LRT, streetcar, and CRT. Express bus may be implemented in any corridor where ridership and other factors do not justify an HCT mode or as an interim step in the implementation of an HCT mode. 81
