Alternatives Analysis
Purpose and Need
Lancaster Avenue has been identified as a corridor for high-capacity frequent and reliable transit due to current ridership along existing routes, the connectivity the corridor would provide, existing pedestrian activity and potential for implementation with minimal ROW acquisitions (corner clips at intersections). The project is needed to provide solutions for increased safety for passenger vehicles and vulnerable road users as well as create a walkable environment for short trips by providing adequate space to increase pedestrian comfort.
Relocation of franchise utilities to multi-use duct banks may be required to achieve the space needed to accommodate safe and high comfort pedestrian elements. This project is needed to make transit more desirable through improved efficiencies in transit service and by creating opportunities for a more economically desirable corridor for equitable transit orientated development that alleviates barriers to social and economic opportunities.
