High-Capacity Transit System Identity – Preliminary Findings October 2016
Valley Metro High-Capacity Transit System Identity – Preliminary Findings October 2016 CHK America Naming Conventions Evaluated for Valley Metro Rail convention example: evaluations Numbers Line 1 [ ] Endpoints Glendale–Mesa [ ] Themes Hohokam Line [ ] recommendation Directions East-West Line [ ] Colors Blue Line [ ] Letters A LINE 11 NUMBERS The most heavily-traveled urban rail systems in North Local Buses America use numbers as line designations. The New Main bus route 136 York subway, with its outsized pop-culture profile, Select trips only has effectively cornered the market on numbered rail 0 Central Ave lines. The mere mention of 2-train and 7-train conjures 1 Washington St/Jeerson St images of the Big Apple. Thanks to the New York 3 Van Buren St 7 7th St connotation, numbers also imply an extremely complex 8 7th Ave rail system. 10 Roosevelt St 12 12th St Using a number with an alternate word (“1-route” or 13 Buckeye Rd “Route 1”) suggests a bus service, thus risking conflict 15 15th Ave 16 16th St with the bus system. 17 McDowell Rd 19 19th Ave Toronto issued one-digit numbers to its subway lines in 27 27th Ave 2013, but only after renumbering several bus routes. 28 Lower Buckeye Rd 29 Thomas Rd Considering Valley Metro’s logical, street-grid based 30 University Dr bus route numbering—and the advantage of presenting 32 32nd St 35 35th Ave a simple rail system—we do not recommend use of 39 40th St numbers for Valley Metro Rail. 40 Apache Blvd/Main St 41 Indian School Rd Examples: 43 43rd Ave 44 44th St/Tatum Blvd • New York (numbers and letters) 45 Broadway Rd 48 48th St/Rio Salado Pkwy • Toronto 50 Camelback Rd • Mexico City 51 51st Ave 52 Roeser Rd 56 Priest Dr 59 59th Ave Valley Metro’s bus route numbers are derived from their position on Phoenix’s street grid. -

An Infill Station in Atlanta Evaluating a MARTA Rail Stop at Hulsey Yard
An Infill Station in Atlanta Evaluating a MARTA rail stop at Hulsey Yard Carlton W Ingram Advisor: Timothy F Welch School of City and Regional Planning Georgia Institute of Technology Spring 2015 Across America a handful of cities have begun experimenting with an uncommon method for fostering new ridership and economic development adjacent to their heavy rail routes. Infill stations provide municipalities the chance to adapt their public transit infrastructure to a changing urban landscape in addition to increasing their tax base. The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) commissioned an infill station study in 2007 but is yet to act on any significant recommendations. Since the study, Atlanta’s BeltLine has grown tremendously both in physical size as well as its popularity and influence. The BeltLine’s Eastside Trail crosses MARTA at Hulsey Yard, one of many potential infill station locations. Using the case study of what is perhaps the most well-known infill station, D.C.’s NoMa-Gaullaudet U station, this paper attempts to determine the potential for an infill station along MARTA’s eastern line at Hulsey Yard while considering political and fiscal realities regarding the state of Georgia and MARTA. This paper finds Hulsey Yard to be a sufficient location for an infill station, now more so than ever before, but also acknowledges the severe limitations MARTA faces in terms of transit-friendly resources. Introduction In an era where every new transit investment appears to be either a bus rapid transit line or a light rail corridor initiative, an uncommon opportunity exists for America’s aging heavy rail systems.
