5. Alternative Development RTC SR-160 Corridor Study
EXHIBIT 5-10: Alternative 1 – High Growth (2008)
Alternative 1 – High Growth (2008) is
the first of a phased transit investment
strategy that expands service
incrementally based observed ridership
growth patterns, in addition to land use
growth patterns. Alternative 1 (2008) is
composed of two routes, both of which are
anchored to the planned Park & Ride lot at
SR-160 and Hualapai Way. The local
route (shown in red) is the southern
extension of Route 101 into the Blue
Diamond corridor via Rainbow Boulevard
The express route along SR-160 (shown in
green) provides service to Park & Ride lots
along SR-160, extends north on Decatur
Boulevard, east on Warm Springs Road
with a stop location at the Las Vegas
Outlet Center, then north on Gilespie to
the South Strip Transfer Terminal (SSTT).
Park & Ride Sites 1-1 and 1-4, which are
discussed in greater detail in Section 5.1,
are critical nodes in the transit plan for
the Blue Diamond corridor. PR 1-1, which
will accommodate up to 200 vehicles, is
designed to attract commuters from the
Pahrump Valley, Mountain’s Edge and
Rhodes Ranch; PR 1-4, which can
accommodate up to 250 vehicles, is
designed to attract commuters from
Pinnacle Peaks, Southern Highlands and
other communities near central SR-160.
Not shown in these drawings is a third
potential Park & Ride site, referred to as
1-2/2-2, which is discussed in Section 8.
This facility would be located on SR-160 at
S. Durango Drive, in the heart of the
Mountain’s Edge community.
