  • Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? the Qline and the People Mover”

    Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? the Qline and the People Mover”

    “Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? The QLine and the People Mover” John B. Sutcliffe, Sarah Cipkar and Geoffrey Alchin Department of Political Science, University of Windsor Windsor, Ontario, N9B 3P4 Email: [email protected] Paper prepared for presentation at the Canadian Political Science Association Annual Conference, Vancouver, BC. June 2019. This is a working draft. Please do not cite without permission. 1 “Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? The QLine and the People Mover" Introduction On May 12, 2017 a new streetcar – the QLine – began operating in Detroit, running along a 3.3- mile (6.6-mile return) route on Woodward Avenue, one of the central north-south roads in the city. This project is one example of the return to prominence of streetcars in the (re)development of American cities. Having fallen into disuse and abandonment in hundreds of American cities during the early part of the 20th century, this form of public transit has returned in many cities including, for example, Dallas, Cincinnati, Kansas City, and Portland. As streetcar services have returned to prominence, so too has the debate about their utility as a form of public transit, the function they serve in a city, and who they serve (Brown 2013; Culver 2017). These debates are evident in the case of Detroit. Proponents of the QLine – most prominently the individuals and organizations that advocated for its creation and provided the majority of the start-up capital – have praised the streetcar for acting as a spur to development, for being a forward-thinking transit system and for acting as a first step towards a comprehensive regional transit system in Metro Detroit (see M-1 Rail 2018).

  • 10. Millbrae Intermodal Station

    10. Millbrae Intermodal Station

    ASSET VULNERABILITY PROFILE | SAN MATEO COUNTY SEA LEVEL RISE VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT 10. MILLBRAE INTERMODAL STATION Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (PCJPB) VULNERABILITY SUMMARY The Millbrae Intermodal Station (Station) is moderately vulnerable to sea level rise. The Caltrain and BART tracks are at grade, and exposure to flooding is moderate, with on-going groundwater intrusion into the BART tunnels. Roughly 24 inches of water level increase is needed for water to reach the Station. The Station is extremely sensitive, and trains would not function if power systems or the tracks were flooded. Adaptive capacity is moderate as the asset is an end-of-line stop for BART, and Caltrain could run "bridge" bus service around the Station during repairs to maintain service. Impacts would be high with costly damages, and flooding could affect over 58,000 riders/day. SENSITIVITY EXPOSURE ADAPTIVE CAPACITY CONSEQUENCES High Moderate Moderate High ASSET CHARACTERISTICS 200 Rollins Rd | Millbrae Asset Description and Function: The Station is a passenger train station for BART and Caltrain, and is served by SamTrans buses as well. It is jointly owned by a Joint Powers Board and BART. All trains on the Caltrain system (Gilroy to San Francisco) must pass through this Station on their way through the peninsula, and it is an end- of-line stop for BART, though an important node for access to San Francisco International Airport. Roughly 11,000 total riders use the station daily. There is also a Historical Train Depot on the property. Asset Type Public Transportation Infrastructure Asset Risk Class 3 Size 20.7 acres Year of Construction 2003 Elevation 12 feet, BART datum Level of Use 11,000 daily riders Annual O&M cost Unknown Special Flood Hazard Area Asset is in SFHA Physical Condition Good Landowner County of San Mateo Transit District Underground Facilities BART tracks and third-rail power supply are below grade.
