    Streetcar System Concept Plan a Framework for Future Corridor Planning and Alternatives Analysis

    PORTLAND STREETCAR SYSTEM CONCEPT PLAN A Framework for Future Corridor Planning and Alternatives Analysis Adopted September 9, 2009 by Portland City Council This study is partially funded by the US Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration How this document will be used This document will be used to identify and select corridors for future Alternatives Analysis and planning studies as funding becomes available. No funding plan or schedule has been identified for any of the potential streetcar projects. Transit corridors citywide were assessed to determine which corridors have the best potential for future streetcar investment. Corridors that are shown in this document represent the best opportunities for streetcar infrastructure. Detailed corridor by corridor analysis, study and discussions with corridor neighborhoods are necessary to determine if a streetcar investment is warranted. No individual corridor can move forward without a detailed analysis and planning study to address the purpose and need of a streetcar project and to comprehensively evaluate project impacts.
