South Broadway Avenue PART 1: PROJECT INTRODUCTION PART 1: PROJECT INTRODUCTION NEW RAPID TRANSIT FOR A GROWING, EQUITABLE ROCHESTER PHASE TWO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT The City of Rochester, MN INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY The City of Rochester and Destination Medical Center (DMC) are exploring ways to improve the well-being and quality of life downtown with an increase in rapid transit services. This study looks to improve public places, sidewalks and streets around stations to increase neighborhood connections to the rapid transit system. This includes reviewing that residential, commercial and employment around the rapid transit system are supportive to riders. The City of Rochester and its partners are committed to addressing immediate community needs. We are also committed to our resilience and success in the future, and advancing work that supports these goals. We thank everyone for their flexibility and willingness to adapt in an ever-evolving time of change. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (TOD) PLANNING STUDY •Enhance economic development. •Improve well-being. •Enhance quality of life. •Improve access to transit. •Facilitate multi-modal connectivity. •Support neighborhood vitality. •Encourage a mix of uses. •Enhancing the public realm. •Enable Rochester’s growth. PROJECT GOALS •Linking transit and growth. •A dynamic downtown supported by rapid transit. •Livable neighborhoods. •Range of housing types and affordability levels. •30% commuter trips to downtown by transit by 2040. •A “park once” culture – with transit, biking and walking for other trips. KEY MILESTONES •Feb 2020: Transit-oriented development (TOD) corridor community engagement. •April 2020: Station area plans community engagement (online open house). •June 2020: Station area concepts community engagement. •July 2020: Final plan and implementation plan. •July 2020: Rochester City Council adoption. •Sept 2020: Federal Transit Administration, small-starts funding application. FEBRUARY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Emerging Themes • Vibrant downtown. • Amenities, retail, destinations for residents. • Improved pedestrian experience. • Housing options: income, job type, age. • Family-oriented communities. • Homes for long-term residents. • Transit and development that works in the cold. • Managing transit and traffic. • High quality transit service, vehicles, and stations. • Placing stations for residents and commuters. February Open House Summary ROCHESTER'S GROWTH AND THE KEY ROLE OF TRANSIT Between 2020 and 2040, the City of Rochester is projected to grow by 38,900. Employment in Olmsted County is expected to grow by 37,500 jobs over the same period. Much of the growth will occur in Rochester’s downtown area and an expanded central city. To accommodate the growth, Rochester aims to achieve 50% of commuter trips to downtown by modes other than single-occupant automobile by 2030, with 23-30% of commuters arriving by transit. This change in transportation can also create multi-modal connections and a network of walkable streets linked to public spaces. One tool to reach these goals is new rapid transit. The proposed Rochester Rapid Transit route runs along 2nd Street SW from the Mayo Clinic West Lot near Cascade Lake Park to downtown and then south on South Broadway to a new transit village beyond 12th Street. The planned transit route will use bus rapid transit (RT). PROJECTED POPULATION GROWTH TO 2040 PROJECTED EMPLOYMENT GROWTH TO 2040 WHY RAPID TRANSIT? •New transportation capacity to help whole city reach economic and growth goals. •Enhanced movement around transit corridor. •More people moving, but contained traffic growth. •Add mobility options for residents, employees, and businesses. •Transition surface parking to better uses. WHAT IS ROCHESTER RAPID TRANSIT? •New bus rapid transit (BRT) on 2nd Street SW and South Broadway Avenue. •Extended buses. •100-120 passengers, every 5 minutes at peak. •18 hours of service per day. •New transit villages - multimodal hubs. •Dedicated stations along route. •Platforms, shelters, and real time information.
