  • FACT SHEET: Transit Light Rail Speed and Safety Enhancements
    FACT SHEET: Transit Light Rail Speed and Safety Enhancements Project Description The Light Rail Speed and Safety Enhancements study has reviewed a series of speed and safety features designed to enhance light rail operations and efficiency. This study has developed conceptual designs and recommendations for safety, speed, and reliability enhancements in three study areas: one along North First Street, one in Downtown San Jose, and one comprised of key, low-speed zones and specific spot locations throughout the system. Project Goals • Enhance safety, mobility, and access for all travelers • Improve travel times and reliability for transit passengers • Increase transit ridership • Support community input and adopted land use and mobility policies Current Activities • Advancing project definition, technical studies, and conceptual design • Stakeholder outreach • Advancing signal timing changes on North First Street • Final design of a pilot project in Downtown San Jose • Securing additional funding North First Street The project area is along North First Street between Interstate 880 (I-880) and Tasman Drive. Light rail currently operates at 35 mph in the median of this stretch of North First Street which includes eight light rail stations and over twenty intersections. The project is focused on transit signal priority and traffic signal programming. Green lights will hold as the light rail approaches the intersection which will improve travel time. Traffic signals will be reprogrammed to adjust timing based on traffic patterns. This will reduce the time a green light is held after vehicles and pedestrians have crossed an intersection. The removal of left turns on Tasman at North First Street will reduce wait time for light rail, vehicles, and pedestrians.

  • Route(S) Description 26 the Increased Frequency on the 26 Makes the Entire Southwestern Portion of the Network Vastly More Useful
    Route(s) Description 26 The increased frequency on the 26 makes the entire southwestern portion of the network vastly more useful. Please keep it. The 57, 60, and 61 came south to the area but having frequent service in two directions makes it much better, and riders from these routes can connect to the 26 and have much more areas open to them. Thank you. Green Line The increased weekend service on the Green line to every twenty minutes is a good addition of service for Campbell which is seeing markedly better service under this plan. Please keep the increased service. Multiple Please assuage public concerns about the 65 and 83 by quantifying the impact the removal of these routes would have, and possible cheaper ways to reduce this impact. The fact is that at least for the 65, the vast majority of the route is duplicative, and within walking distances of other routes. Only south of Hillsdale are there more meaningful gaps. Mapping the people who would be left more than a half mile (walkable distance) away from service as a result of the cancellation would help the public see what could be done to address the service gap, and quantifying the amount of people affected may show that service simply cannot be justified. One idea for a route would be service from winchester transit center to Princeton plaza mall along camden and blossom hill. This could be done with a single bus at a cheaper cost than the current 65. And nobody would be cut off. As far as the 83 is concerned, I am surprised the current plan does not route the 64 along Mcabee, where it would be eq..

    ATTACHMENT C EXISTING TRANSIT CONDITIONS AND POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS EXISTING CONDITIONS AND a partnership of OPPORTUNITIES REPORT Public Review Draft | December 2017 MEMORANDUM Date: November 10, 2017 To: Dan Amsden and Mukul Malhotra, MIG From: Sarah Peters, Andy Kosinski, PE, David Wasserman, and Lilian Ayala Subject: Existing Transit Conditions and Potential Improvements on Bascom Avenue SJ17-1708 This memorandum presents existing transit conditions along the Bascom Avenue corridor, which will inform the Bascom Avenue Complete Streets Study. The existing conditions covered in this memorandum include descriptions of the major destinations, route services, mode access to transit, bus stop conditions, and operational analysis of bus transit speeds and reliability. The Bascom Avenue corridor extends six miles from the north at Interstate 880 to State Route 85 in the south. The street is designated as a “Class 1 Arterial” with three lanes in each direction. For most of the segment it is in either the City of San Jose or unincorporated Santa Clara County, but it passes through the City of Campbell for 1.5 miles. The north and central sections of the corridor are primarily commercial, civic, or hospital, with the remaining areas being largely residential. KEY FINDINGS The existing transit system provides service to a majority of the north and central portions of Bascom Avenue. Although 54 stops are dispersed along the corridor, the major stops along Bascom Avenue, identified by ridership and transfer activity, were primarily located in the north and central portions of the corridor. The evaluation of major bus stops along Bascom Avenue have indicated that core bus stops are missing major amenities, such as seating and shelters, that would be expected for high ridership stops.
