  • Central Corridor Supplemental DEIS Chapter 9: Indirect and Cumulative
    Central Corridor LRT Project Chapter 9 Indirect and Cumulative Impacts 9.0 INDIRECT AND CUMULATIVE IMPACTS This chapter identifies the potential indirect and cumulative impacts that could occur with implementation of the Central Corridor LRT Project. Section 9.1 introduces the concepts of indirect and cumulative impacts, and how and why the analysis is done. Section 9.2 presents the methods used to decide what data was needed, how it was collected, and how it was analyzed. This section also describes some general trends in the study area and provides a table of the significant and reasonably foreseeable future projects in the study area. Finally, this section demonstrates how each topic was selected according to its potential for indirect and cumulative impacts. Section 9.3 presents a discussion of potential indirect impacts for each topic and a discussion of cumulative impacts. Section 9.4 summarizes the potential indirect and cumulative effects of the AA/DEIS LPA and the Key Project Elements and lists available mitigation measures that could be applied where indirect and cumulative impacts may occur. 9.1 Introduction The Central Corridor Alternatives Analysis and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (AA/DEIS) did not include a separate section for an indirect and cumulative effects analysis (ICEA). This section, therefore, is intended to provide a basic discussion of ICEA and to describe the potential for indirect effects and cumulative impacts from the AA/DEIS Locally Preferred Alternative (AA/DEIS LPA), as well as to the Key Project Elements, in combination with other past, present, and future actions. For this chapter, the AA/DEIS LPA and the Key Project Elements are referred to as the Central Corridor LRT project.

  • Minneapolis Transportation Action Plan (Engagement Phase 3)
    Minneapolis Transportation Action Plan (Engagement Phase 3) Email Comment Topic Comment # The recommendations in this submission expand on this principle and support the overall Transportation Action Plan goals of designing transportation to achieve the aims of Minneapolis 2040, address climate change, reduce traffic fatalities and injuries, and improve racial and economic equity. In line with these goals, our most significant recommendations for the Prospect Park area are to • Invest in the protected bike network: extending the Greenway over the River, and building the Prospect Park Trail along railroad right-of- way • Transform University Avenue and Washington Avenues • Complete the Grand Rounds and use the Granary corridor to redirect truck traffic Priorities for transportation improvements in Prospect Park 1. Improve pedestrian infrastructure throughout the community including safe crossings of University Avenue SE (Bedford, Malcolm, 29th and 27th), Franklin Avenue SE (Bedford, Seymour) and 27th Avenue SE (Essex, Luxton Park to Huron pedestrian overpass). We encourage the city to narrow residential intersections, particularly in Bicycling, the Tower Hill sub-neighborhood where streets do not meet at right Walking, 1 angles, and crossing distances are significantly longer than needed. Additional Planters and plastic delineators could be used to achieve this ahead of Comments reconstruction. Maintenance and improvements should focus on public safety, adequate lighting and landscape upkeep. Throughout the neighborhood residents have cited safety (particularly at night), sidewalk disrepair, narrowness, snow and ice issues, and have expressed support for full ADA compliance. 2. Complete the Minneapolis Grand Rounds and the Granary Corridor (see Map 2) to enhance community access to city and regional parks and trails as well as to adjoining neighborhoods.

  • Central Corridor FEIS Chapter 5: Economic Effects
    Central Corridor LRT Project Chapter 5 Economic Effects 5.0 ECONOMIC EFFECTS This chapter focuses on the potential economic effects of the Central Corridor Light Rail Transit project and its impact on the local economy. With implementation of the Preferred Alternative, direct, indirect, and induced economic benefits related to the construction and long-term expenditures for operations and maintenance (O&M) of the selected alternative will occur. These effects would be realized to varying degrees throughout the region in terms of increased economic output, earnings, and employment. This chapter also describes the potential effects on station area development and land use and policy decisions aimed at encouraging transit-oriented development (TOD). Section 5.1 provides an overview of the methodology and anticipated effects of the project on the local economy. This section summarizes the anticipated economic impacts from capital operations and maintenance expenditures. Section 5.2 provides an overview of the potential economic effects of the project on commercial and residential development located near transit stations and programs and policies that have been developed to encourage development. This section provides a description of the potential development effects related to the Preferred Alternative. Section 5.3 considers the development effects associated with the implementation of the Preferred Alternative. Final EIS 5-1 June 2009 Central Corridor LRT Project Economic Effects Chapter 5 5.1 Economic Conditions In preparing the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), legislators specifically included language for economic development as a selection criterion for fixed-guideway transit projects. This legislation called for documentation of the degree to which the project would have a positive impact on local economic development as part of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) review process.
