  1. Lake Hancock Highland City US 98 BRT STUDY Lyle Parkway to SR 540 (Winter Lake Road)

  2. Agenda • Introduction • Purpose • Methodology • Current Design • Proposed Alternatives • Technology • Conclusion

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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 D1 staff

  6. Current Design SR 540 Winter Lake Road Lake Hancock Clubhouse Road Highland City Hancock Avenue Lyle Parkway

  8. Current Design

  9. 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

  10. Proposed Alternative 1 – Urban Typical SectionHancock Avenue to Clubhouse Road • 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 • No R/W impact • Use of existing facilities (6-Lane) • No impact to Fort Fraser Trail Facility

  11. Proposed Alternative 2 – Rural Typical SectionLyle Parkway to Hancock AvenueClubhouse Road to Winter Lake Road (SR 540) • 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

  12. Proposed Alternative 2 – UrbanTypical SectionHancock Avenue to Clubhouse Road • 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

  13. Proposed Alternative 3 – Rural Typical SectionLyle Parkway to Hancock AvenueClubhouse Road to Winter Lake Road (SR 540) • Disadvantages • Higher Cost • Advantages • No R/W impact • Fort Fraser Trail is not impacted • Proposed geometry could accommodate future light rail

  14. Proposed Alternative 3 – With Light RailLyle Parkway to Hancock AvenueClubhouse Road to Winter Lake Road (SR 540)

  15. Proposed Alternative 3 – Urban Typical SectionHancock Avenue to Clubhouse Road • Advantages • Fort Fraser Trail is not impacted • Proposed geometry could accommodate future light rail • 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

  16. Proposed Alternative 3 – Urban With Light RailLyle Parkway to Hancock AvenueClubhouse Road to Winter Lake Road (SR 540)

  17. Proposed Alternative 3A – Urban Typical SectionHancock Avenue to Clubhouse Road • Advantages • No R/W impact on west side • No modification required to SB lanes • Disadvantages • R/W impact along east side of Fort Fraser Trail • Realignment of Fort Fraser Trail

  18. Proposed Alternative 3B – Urban Typical SectionHancock Avenue to Clubhouse Road • Advantages • No R/W impact on west side • Reduced R/W impact on east side • No modification required to SB lanes • Disadvantages • Minor R/W impact on east side • Realignment of a short segment Fort Fraser Trail

  19. Proposed Alternative 3B – Urban Typical SectionHancock Avenue to Clubhouse Road

  20. Proposed Alternative 2 – 3D Rendering

  21. Technology • Vehicle Prioritization • Vehicle Guidance and Collision Avoidance • Electronic Fare Collection • Operation Management Technology

  22. 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
