2. Study Area Transportation System RTC SR-160 Corridor Study EXHIBIT 5-15: Alternative 2 – Moderate Growth (2025) Alternative 2 – Moderate Growth (2025) involves the conversion of the express route along SR-160 to a bus rapid transit route. The BRT overlay route is designed to offer enhanced end-to-end travel times between the western terminal PR 1-1 through numerous operational enhancements and service attributes, including fewer station stops, enhanced stations (with multi-entry level boardings), dedicated bus lanes along SR- 160, traffic signal priority (TSP) and/or queue-jumping. This route will also have a dedicated fleet of advanced BRT vehicles similar in design and station interface as the MAX system, with an off-vehicle proofof-payment fare system. The final buildout is also adds an express route service from PR 1-1 along SR-160, with service along Decatur Boulevard. Both the Decatur Express and Blue Diamond BRT would operate along a dedicated busway on SR-160. This buildout scenario is designed to provide northern connections via three primary axes: Durango Drive, Decatur Blvd and Las Vegas Boulevard. 5-20

SR-160 Corridor Improvement Plan RTC SR-160 Corridor Study 6.0 SR-160 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PLAN 6.1 CURRENT CONDITIONS AND SR-160 EXPANSION PROJECT The portion of SR-160 that was analyzed for this study extends from Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas to where it intersects Hualapai Way, approximately 8.5 miles to the west. Along that stretch, there are several major street intersections, an overpass at I-15, and a grade crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) mainline. Most of SR-160 in this corridor is a two-lane roadway, although at some of the major intersections the highway widens and has turning lanes. The terrain gains approximately 650 feet in elevation between S. Las Vegas Blvd. and Hualapai Way in a steady ascending grade to the west. The tightest curve on the highway has a radius of 3,000 feet. The applicability of the former Union Pacific Railroad branch line right-of-way for transit purposes is discussed in Section 6.7. The SR-160 widening project, led by the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), is being undertaken in phases, moving east to west from Las Vegas Boulevard South to beyond South Durango Drive. Construction has started on some of the work, while other areas are still in the design phase. When it is completed, major components of this project will include: A fully divided, multi-lane highway to Durango Drive.; Eight lanes (four in each direction) from S. Las Vegas Blvd. to Rainbow Blvd.; Six lanes from S. Rainbow Blvd. to Durango Drive.; A new bridge and alignment over I-15; A new connection to Las Vegas Blvd. South at Windmill Lane, approximately 0.4 miles south of the existing intersection; Major intersections with left and right turn lanes and 4-way signals at several locations (no grade-separated intersections); An overpass over the UPRR mainline immediately west of Jones Blvd. to replace the grade crossing that currently exists; 12-foot traffic lanes; 8-foot bike lanes on both sides of the highway; and Either 5.5foot sidewalks or 8-foot shoulders. At this time, there are no provisions in the project for HOV or transit-only lanes. At the east end of the corridor, there will be 5½-foot sidewalks on both sides of the highway. As the highway continues westward into less developed areas, there will initially 6-1
