Agenda

Introduction Purpose Methodology Current Design Proposed Alternatives Technology Conclusion

Introduction US 98 – Most appropriate corridor for

multimodal applications in Polk County 2005 PD&E

6-lane interim and 8-lane ultimate conditions

Multimodal Considerations Current design project Fort Fraser Trail along east side of US 98

corridor

Purpose Does the current design preclude the

implementation of a BRT system along US 98 ?

Evaluate options and provide a picture of potential bus applications based on current design project

Methodology Review previous studies and

transportation plans Evaluate available R/W Develop Typical Sections of alternatives Develop Pro-Con matrix for each

alternative Coordinate with stakeholders and FDOT

Current Design

Proposed Alternative 1 – Rural Typical Section

Lyle Parkway to Hancock AvenueClubhouse Road to Winter Lake Road (SR 540)

Advantages•No R/W impact•Use of existing facilities (6-Lane)•No impact to Fort Fraser Trail Facility

Disadvantages•Buses share lanes with other vehicles•Current design plans show only one proposed bus bay•Proposed geometry would not accommodate future light rail

Proposed Alternative 1 – Urban Typical Section

Hancock Avenue to Clubhouse Road

Advantages•No R/W impact•Use of existing facilities (6-Lane)•No impact to Fort Fraser Trail Facility

Disadvantages•Buses share lanes with other vehicles•Current design plans show only one proposed bus bay•Proposed geometry would not accommodate future light rail



Advantages•Dedicated bus lanes (1 NB/1 SB)•Bike lane is protected from mainline traffic•No impact to Fort Fraser Trail

Disadvantages•R/W impact on west side•Additional widening of roadway is required to the outside•Bus only lanes shared with right turning traffic at intersections•Proposed geometry would not accommodate future light rail



Advantages•No R/W impact•Dedicated bus lanes (1 NB/1 SB) separated from mainline•Bike lane is protected from mainline traffic•No impact to Fort Fraser Trail

Disadvantages•Additional widening of roadway is required to the inside•Bus only lanes shared with right turning traffic at intersections•Proposed geometry would not accommodate future light rail



Advantages•No R/W impact•Fort Fraser Trail is not impacted•Proposed geometry could accommodate future light rail

Disadvantages•Higher Cost

Proposed Alternative 3 – With Light RailLyle Parkway to Hancock Avenue

Clubhouse Road to Winter Lake Road (SR 540)



Disadvantages•Major realignment of US 98 to avoid impact to Fort Fraser Trail•R/W impact on west side•Guardrail needed in median and right

Advantages•Fort Fraser Trail is not impacted•Proposed geometry could accommodate future light rail

Proposed Alternative 3 – Urban With Light Rail


Proposed Alternative 3A – Urban Typical Section


Disadvantages•R/W impact along east side of Fort Fraser Trail•Realignment of Fort Fraser Trail

Advantages•No R/W impact on west side•No modification required to SB lanes

Proposed Alternative 3B – Urban Typical Section


Disadvantages•Minor R/W impact on east side•Realignment of a short segment Fort Fraser Trail

Advantages•No R/W impact on west side•Reduced R/W impact on east side•No modification required to SB lanes

Proposed Alternative 3B – Urban Typical Section


Proposed Alternative 2 – 3D Rendering

Technology Vehicle Prioritization Vehicle Guidance and Collision

Avoidance Electronic Fare Collection Operation Management Technology

Conclusion A BRT system could be incorporated into

the US 98 corridor based on the 6-lane interim design condition

Use of available technology at the time of implementation will improve safety and efficiency of the system
