development sites• Two access points • More room for
stacking
CONS• Passenger access at
north end of platform• Location may not
support shared use of spaces
• Requires relocation of 12” water line

BRIDGE V. TUNNEL OPTIONS
Considerations -• Supported by site topography• Needs limited excavation • Obvious pedestrian connection• Closer connection to larger portion of parking• Partially open to the weather
Considerations -• Weather protected pedestrian crossing• Less obvious pedestrian connection • Longer walking distance• Requires ventilation• Higher cost• May require more coordination with Norfolk Southern
