7. Proposed Park and Ride Facilities RTC SR-160 Corridor Study Local residents who do not live along bus routes could use some of the parking spaces at these retail centers to access bus services, and Local residents who live along bus routes could take public transit to the retail centers. Whereas the Park & Ride facilities would be served by local, express, and BRT bus routes, it is likely that most on-street bus stops would generally only be serviced by local routes. Three representative locations for bus stops have been identified. 7.5.1 SR-160 at S. Buffalo Drive S. Buffalo Drive is in the middle of the Mountain’s Edge development and is adjacent to the Exploration Peak Park on the south side of SR-160. Eastbound and westbound bus stops on SR-160 at the signaled intersection with S. Buffalo Drive could provide some transit benefit at little cost and without interfering with traffic lanes. (See EXHIBIT 7-21.) EXHIBIT 7-21: Facing West From SR-160 at Buffalo Alternatively, there is a large parking lot for Exploration Peak Park on Buffalo less than ½ mile south of SR-160. Since this lot is generally underutilized on weekdays, the developers at Mountain’s Edge could make this lot available as a Park & Ride facility, and in fact a bus stop adjacent to the lot already exists. Not being located directly on SR-160, however, it would add to the running time of express bus or BRT service along the corridor. 7.5.2 SR-160 at Arville Street Arville Street, located approximately 0.6 miles east of Decatur Boulevard, will likely become a signaled intersection at SR-160. With some smaller developments nearby, bus stops 7-21
7. Proposed Park and Ride Facilities RTC SR-160 Corridor Study could be beneficial in this area. Unless easements can be obtained, these bus stops would be within one of the general traffic lanes due to SR-160 having eight lanes in a 150 foot right-of-way through this area. 7.5.3 S. Decatur Boulevard near W. Robindale Road and W. Windmill Lane Bus routes that use Decatur rather than the eastern segment of SR-160 will pass smaller developments that warrant bus stops. The right-of-way is sufficiently wide to accommodate bus stops in both directions without impacting through traffic. The area between the intersections at Robindale Road and Windmill Lane, approximately one mile north of SR-160 is an appropriate site for northbound and southbound bus stops (See EXHIBIT 7-222). EXHIBIT 7-22: Facing North on Decatur Boulevard at Windmill Lane The feasibility of providing more significant transit facilities in the vicinity of Decatur Boulevard and Warm Springs Road could be limited by the Rural Neighborhood Preservation area. 7-22
