APPENDIX B Downtown Minneapolis Intermodal Station (Northstar Corridor) APPENDIX C Technology Options and Screening Criteria Detailed Technology Screening – BUS RAPID TRANSIT Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) combines the quality of rail transit and the flexibility of buses. It can operate on exclusive transitways, HOV lanes, expressways, or ordinary streets. The BRT system is based on light rail transit principles, but instead of the required capital investment in trains and track, it utilizes buses in service that is integrated with key components of the existing automobile transportation infrastructure, such as roads, rights-of-way, intersections, and traffic signals. Example Systems: Las Vegas, NV; Orlando, FL; Los Angeles, CA • Fully implemented systems are in existence in many • Metro Transit operates express service from US and International Cities. Cottage Grove to downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis. • Can be run on existing/planned Hwy 61 infrastructure. • Average costs per mile = $13.5 million (Dedicated bus • BRT stops and typical frequency of service is roadway) consistent with travel patterns in the Red Rock • Average costs per mile = $9 million (bus on HOV lane) Corridor.

  • Appendix D – Engineering Assessment of the Potential Passenger Rail Alternatives
    Appendix D – Engineering Assessment of the Potential Passenger Rail Alternatives: By Route Engineering Assessment for Route 1 ROUTE 1 Introduction Route 1 begins in Milwaukee and utilizes track owned by Canadian Pacific through Watertown and Portage. It continues to use Canadian Pacific through Camp Douglas and La Crosse to Winona and Hastings. Between Hastings and St. Paul Union Depot the route uses track owned by Canadian Pacific, BNSF, St. Paul Union Depot Co., and Union Pacific. Between St. Paul Union Depot and Minneapolis Transportation Interchange, the route uses track owned by St. Paul Union Depot Co., BNSF, Union Pacific, Minnesota Commercial, and Canadian Pacific railroads. See the figure below for a graphical depiction of Route 1. Each of the routes considered consists of several route segments. Within those route segments are track sub-segments. The information in this report is presented by track sub-segment.

  • Northstar Corridor Rail Project Work Group Report
    This document is made available electronically by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library as part of an ongoing digital archiving project. http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/lrl.asp 04 - 0027 Northstar Corridor Rail Project Work Group Report Required by 2003 Minnesota Legislature Minnesota Session Laws of 2003 l't Special Session Chapter 19 - Section 75 Report Date: January 15,2004 r Northstar Work Group Report Draft January 15, 2004 Introduction The Northstar Corridor Rail Project is a proposed commuter rail project running northwest from downtown Minneapolis near the trunk highway 10 corridor. Potential stations, in addition to downtown, are Northeast Minneapolis, Fridley, Coon Rapids-Foley, Coon Rapids­ Riverdale, Anoka, Elk River, Big Lake, Becker, St. Cloud East, and Rice. The state share of funding for the project has been debated by the Minnesota Legislature since the 2000 session, but has not been authorized. Minnesota Session Laws of 2003, 1st Special Session, Chapter 19, Section 75 (see appendix A) required the commissioner of transportation, in conjunction with the Northstar Corridor Development Authority (NCDA), to convene a work group to perform two specific tasks: 1) Update ridership forecasts for Northstar commuter rail based on 2000 census data and 2) Seek updated information from the Burlington Northem Santa Fe railroad (BNSF) regarding capacity improvements, railroad usage rights, construction, risk and liability allocation, and other related issues. The commissioner must report this to chairs and ranking members of legislative committees having jurisdiction over transportation and capital investment by January 15, 2004. A work group was formed comprised of 22 people from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), NCDA, Northstar Corridor counties, and the Metropolitan Council with expertise in planning, transportation investment, project management, railroading, and the Northstar corridor.
