Question: Why another transit study of the Bottineau Corridor?
Response: The response to this question has several components.
- One component is that planning for major infrastructure is a continuous process. The magnitude of the investment dictates careful project development activities over a period of time during which federal, regional and local perspectives and technologies can change.
- A second component is that the Bottineau Corridor study area is a dynamic environment with needs that continue to evolve. Land use development in recent years is just one example of this evolution.
- A third component is the success of the Hiawatha LRT line as a catalyst for the growing demand for travel options in the Twin Cities Region, including additional transitway facilities.
- A forth component is a financial one. The desire to capture federal funding for a Bottineau Transitway investment requires the alternatives analysis study process.
