Investment Options <br />Public feedback and community <br />conversations helped defi ne three <br />investment options that were <br />considered within four of the fi ve <br />corridors (only two options were <br />explored for MLK, Jr. Boulevard). <br />A low and high investment option looked at varying <br />degrees of improvements, such as pedestrian and <br />bicycle facilities, and transit enhancements, as well <br />as improvements along the street like sidewalks, <br />trees, and lighting. These were compared to what <br />would happen without the MovingAhead project, <br />referred to here as a “No-Build” option. <br />Center Dedicated Transit Lanes Bicycle Lane Behind Station/Stop <br />Buses use exclusive transit lanes in the street median Bicycle lane passes behind transit boarding area. <br />Protected Bicycle Facility Enhanced Pedestrian Crossing <br />Bicycle lane is buered from the adjacent travel lane.Pedestrian crossing is defined by a marked crosswalk and flashing lights. <br />Protected Bicycle Facility Enhanced Pedestrian Crossing <br />Bicycle lane is buered from the adjacent travel lane.Pedestrian crossing is defined by a marked crosswalk and flashing lights. <br />The “build options” refer to the Enhanced <br />Corridor and EmX Alternatives that would <br />provide for infrastructure or facility upgrades <br />along the corridor. The No-Build Alternative <br />would leave the corridor as it is. <br />Upgraded and Enhanced Crossings <br />New crossings would generally <br />be located at mid-block locations <br />away from intersections and <br />may include accessible ramps, <br />pedestrian islands, striping, or <br />fl ashing beacons. <br />Bicycle Improvements <br />Upgrades may include separated, <br />protected bike lanes and routing bike <br />lanes behind transit stations. <br />Toolbox for Enhanced Corridor and EmX Options <br />No-Build Alternative <br />(No new investments at this time) <br />This option is helpful as a reference point to <br />measure the relative benefi ts, costs, and impacts <br />of the build alternatives. Under the No-Build <br />option, the City and LTD would only make changes <br />that are already planned as part of other projects. <br />No additional investments would be made as a <br />part of the MovingAhead project. <br />6 | Executive Summary: MovingAhead Alternatives Analysis ReportFebruary 19, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
