6. SR-160 Corridor Improvement Plan RTC SR-160 Corridor Study R-E, rural estates residential district R-3, multiple-family residential district The aerial photographs with property lines, as well as the listed property owners as of November, 2005, are from the Clark County OpenWeb Info Mapper. The majority of the square parcels shown are approximately 2.5 acres in size. The photographs were taken in April, 2005. This corridor will be examined in three segments from east to west. 6.7.2 Analysis by Segment Between the UPRR mainline at Arden and SR-160 Two in-service tracks extend approximately one mile from the UPRR mainline at Arden to the current end of what remains of the branch line. These tracks appear to be used only to store freight cars. After passing through two privately-owned parcels at Meranto Ave (parcels 24 and 25 in EXHIBIT 6-14) where some minor buildings have been constructed, the ROW continues intact for another 0.25 mile to SR-160. At the site of the former crossing of SR-160, the tracks have been removed and there are no signs of the former railroad alignment. At this location, the highway right-of-way is 200 feet wide, and SR-160, after widening, will be a six-lane highway. EXHIBIT 6-7: Right-of-Way from UPRR Mainline to SR-160, and Land with Structures At this time there are few obstructions that would preclude a transit alignment toward the UP mainline on or parallel to the existing right-of-way. A new transit corridor could go on either the northeast or southwest side of the remaining branchline tracks; the final determination would depend on where a BRT/rail corridor is located and how it would be most easily accessed from SR-160. 6-12
6. SR-160 Corridor Improvement Plan RTC SR-160 Corridor Study There are currently 16 parcels of land along or adjacent to the ROW, most of which are zoned R-E (rural estates). The largest parcel by far, although it is not along a continuous corridor, is owned by the Federal Government. The rest are owned by individuals, investment firms, and developers. A transit corridor would require obtaining at least a portion of some of these parcels. EXHIBIT 6-8: UPRR ROW Looking NW EXHIBIT 6-9: UPRR ROW Looking SE Between the former crossing of SR-160 and South Durango Drive This segment of the corridor is approximately 1.25 miles in length, with the UPRR ROW just north of and parallel to SR-160. EXHIBIT 6-10: Right-of-Way from Crossing of SR-160 to Durango Dr. The widened SR-160 will have six traffic lanes where the UPRR ROW crosses it, and it will continue in this configuration to Durango Drive. The highway will easily fit within the 200- foot-wide highway corridor, and except as noted below will not require appropriation of any of the UPRR ROW that parallels the highway. 6-13
