  • Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project – Final EIS LYNX Blue Line Extension 3.0 TRANSPORTATION
    Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project – Final EIS LYNX Blue Line Extension 3.0 TRANSPORTATION This chapter describes the existing transportation services and facilities within the study area for the proposed LYNX Blue Line Extension Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project (LYNX BLE), outlines the programmed and planned improvements, and assesses future travel growth and its impact on the corridor. The transportation and traffic impacts of alternatives that were evaluated are summarized. 3.1 Changes to this Chapter since the Draft EIS This chapter has been revised to reflect the identification of the Light Rail Alternative as the Preferred Alternative for the LYNX Blue Line Extension Northeast Corridor Light Rail Project (LYNX BLE). Additionally, since the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), design of the LYNX BLE has been refined as described in Chapter 2.0: Alternatives Considered. The forecast year used for the project’s transit ridership projections and regional transportation evaluation measures has been changed from 2030 to 2035, consistent with the region’s Long Range Transportation Plan. The forecast year used for the project’s traffic analysis continues to be 2030. These refinements are included in this chapter and reflected in the analysis of potential impacts of the proposed project. 3.2 Affected Environment Affected Environment describes the existing (2008/2009) and projected (2030/2035) transportation conditions in the Northeast Corridor, without implementation of a major transit investment. These transportation conditions are described in terms of travel patterns, public transit service, street and highway facilities, freight and passenger rail service and bike and pedestrian facilities. 3.2.1 Travel Patterns Travel patterns refer to the number and type of trips made between different portions of the region as a result of the distribution of population and employment.
