CALTRAIN EXTENSION TO MONTEREY COUNTYALTERNATIVES ANALYSISMarina/California State University–Monterey Bay (CSUMB) Transit Center and Park-and-RideIn addition to the park-and-ride facilities at Pajaro Valley, Castroville, and the Salinas ITC, theExpress Bus Alternative will include construction of an MST Transit Center and park-and-ride facilityin Marina at CSUMB (former Fort Ord). The site will be on lands owned by TAMC, proposed for useas a transportation center, adjacent to a proposed transit-oriented development.As illustrated on Figure 3-13, Express Bus Alternative elements will include:• Bus, shuttle and van loading/unloading berths• Bus passenger waiting and a driver/operations and ticket sales enclosed spaces• Parking, bicycle facilities, sidewalks and circulation roadways• Access roadway construction, signing and striping• Site drainage, lighting and landscaping• Access to the transit center via the Monterey branch rail line.Surface parking for approximately 128 vehicles will be provided to complement the reduced parkingsupplied at the Castroville facility. Combined, the Castroville and Marina park-and-rides will provideequivalent capacity for the Express Bus Alternative when compared with the Caltrain <strong>Extension</strong>Alternative.Access to the park-and-ride will be via Eighth Street and First Avenue.The estimated capital cost of this facility is $8.7 million expressed in FY 2007 dollars and $9.2 millionexpressed in year of expenditure dollars.Frank J. Lichtanski Monterey Bay Operations Center ExpansionMonterey-Salinas Transit anticipates that the demands on the region’s transportation infrastructureand services will greatly increase. MST has out-grown its operating divisions in Monterey andSalinas. Fleet expansion to meet growing community needs requires upgraded maintenance,operations and administrative facilities to provide adequate support. On January 13, 2003, MSTreceived quitclaim deeds from the United States Department of the Army for three parcels of theformer Fort Ord military Reservation. A portion of this acreage will serve as the site of the Frank J.Lichtanski Monterey Bay Operations Center. The estimated cost to design and construct the facility isapproximately $28.0 million and the facility will accommodate 170 buses.MST officials state that the new operations center has not been planned to accommodate the expressbus fleet anticipated by the Express Bus Alternative. The Frank J. Lichtanski Monterey BayOperations Center will therefore need to be expanded, or an existing facility (Monterey) reutilized toaccommodate the express bus fleet. In either event, an allowance of $100,000 per vehicle isassumed to expand, purchase, or upgrade a maintenance and operations base for the Express BusAlternative fleet.parsons CHAPTER 3: DETAILED DEFINITION OF ALTERNATIVES 85
