  • The Path to Partnership: How Cities and Transit Systems Can Stop
    The Path to Partnership: How Cities and Transit Systems Can Stop Worrying and Join Forces Introduction In order to keep and attract riders, transit must be frequent, fast, and reliable. Maintaining frequent, fast, and reliable service in the congested conditions of most American cities requires prioritizing street level transit above automobile traffic, through measures like bus lanes, queue jumps, and signal priority. Relative to large capital projects, bus priority measures provide immediate improvements in travel time and reliability at a small fraction of the cost, and can be accomplished overnight with the right combination of paint, light duty street installations, and enforcement. The projects profiled in this study, including a bus lane in Everett, MA, New York City’s Select Bus Service, and Seattle’s Rapid Ride have seen travel time savings of 10-30%. While on-street transit improvements can be done quickly and cheaply, they aren’t necessarily easy to accomplish. Getting them done usually requires two things: · Political will and leadership from mayors, transit system managers and board members, and other leaders who must be willing to defend potentially controversial street and service changes like removing on-street parking spaces for a bus lane, or eliminating bus stops that are too close together. · Structuring transit agencies and city street agencies to more quickly and effectively deliver on-street transit projects. This may mean forging new relationships and decision-making processes, gathering new data, hiring for different skills, and figuring out new ways to prioritize projects. 2 Transit street projects can be tough to get done when there’s no history of doing them.

  • Everett Station Area Plan
    Everett Station Area Plan Recommended Direction and Implementation Background Over the past ten years, the City of Everett has worked with various transportation agencies, such as Sound Transit, Everett Transit, AMTRAK, WSDOT, and Greyhound Bus Lines to develop a true multi-modal transportation center in the form of Everett Station. This has involved much more than merely developing a building to contain ticketing functions and waiting areas. The project has included acquiring property for parking, reconstructing roads, and building a new bridge over the railroad tracks. It has also involved finding tenants to provide educational and job services that can serve a regional workforce. While commuter rail is still yet to become operational, it is evident that Everett Station is expanding many choices available to residents of the community and its surroundings. Many activities occur in Everett Station. Its top floor meeting room is constantly in demand for meetings and events. Through its Comprehensive Plan and capital investments, the City has focused much attention and energy to the development of this transportation hub. This has been but a part of a larger set of policy directions that have encouraged re-investment in downtown and its nearby neighborhoods. Already, these actions have borne fruit, with development of new buildings on the Snohomish County campus, the Everett Events Center, streetscape enhancements on Hewitt and Colby, and new commercial and urban residential development in the vicinity. This long-term commitment has brought tangible results and the downtown area is being gradually transformed into an urban center that is stronger and more vibrant. The properties surrounding Everett Station present a unique potential for economic development.
