New! System-Wide Transit Corridor Plan for the San ... - Omnitrans

Chapter 1 – Introduction
Exhibit 1-3: Center Running Station Design
Station Plan
The sbX alignment transverses a developed
area, and on-street stations are located to create
a comfortable, efficient transit place which fits
into the community fabric and which avoids the
taking of buildings.
Exhibit 1-4 illustrates a draft of the center
platform station plan which would be located in
the center of the street on a raised platform with
access provided by crosswalks at intersections.
The draft center station platform elevation is
shown in Exhibit 1-5.
The draft layout of the side-running station plan is
shown in Exhibit 1-6. These stations will
preferably be located on the far side of an
intersection wherever possible to facilitate transit
priority, and to avoid stopped buses from
blocking vehicles turning right from the corridor.
The side-running station platform elevation is
shown in Exhibit 1-7. In some instances due to
curb cuts for driveways and other conditions,
there is not enough space along the curbside for
both the sbX and the local bus on the far side of
the intersection. In these cases, the local bus
would be located on the near side. Also, if a
major activity center is on the near side, both
local and sbX would be located there, if feasible.
For the center running condition, there would be
approximately 15-feet from each edge of the
platform to accommodate a canopy with its
seating area, passenger amenities, fare
collection equipment and to accommodate
approximately a 10-foot wide access ramp to
comply with relevant ADA accessibility
requirements and provide clearance in front of
the ticket vending machines.
Additional detail of station design elements are
displayed in Exhibits 1-8 and 1-9.
