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

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
Proposed Alternative 2 – Rural Typical Section
Lyle 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
Proposed Alternative 2 – Urban Typical Section
Hancock 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
Proposed Alternative 3 – Rural Typical Section
Lyle Parkway to Hancock AvenueClubhouse Road to Winter Lake Road (SR 540)
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)
Proposed Alternative 3 – Urban Typical Section
Hancock Avenue to Clubhouse Road
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
Lyle Parkway to Hancock AvenueClubhouse Road to Winter Lake Road (SR 540)
Proposed Alternative 3A – Urban Typical Section
Hancock Avenue to Clubhouse Road
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
Hancock Avenue to Clubhouse Road
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
Hancock Avenue to Clubhouse Road
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
