The Bottineau Transitway Alternatives Analysis Study is a corridor level transitway planning effort that will develop and assess a range of transit improvement alternatives. The Alternatives Analysis Study is a step in the decision making process leading to transportation investments in the corridor. The purposes of the study are: (1) to identify and evaluate alternatives that will address the transportation problems, needs and opportunities in the Bottineau Corridor; and (2) to develop a recommended course of action for the next phase of the process toward implementation of a major transitway investment in the corridor. The development of transitway alternatives will focus on two primary components including mode and alignment. Examples of transit modes that will be studied include; a baseline improvement to the existing bus system, Light Rail Transit (LRT), Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and commuter rail routes. Alignments will identify the location of the transitway investments with respect to existing infrastructure and land use and the location of transitway station facilities. A key outcome of the study will be the identification of a “locally preferred alternative” that best meets the transit needs of the corridor study area, one which can move forward through environmental study, preliminary design, and ultimately implementation. |
