with high development Fauntleroy potential • Compatible with planned • Considerable Agency TOD bus routing and circulation potential (~350 units) on • Direct integration with property that could be planned neighborhood acquired for staging and greenway on 42nd Ave SW station entries N Guideway and station concepts depicted reflect limited design and shown for illustration and discussion purposes. 4 Junction Station – 41st Ave SW Transit Integration and Land Use and Non-motorized Access Development • Potential station entries • Station located close to farthest from Junction the center of Urban Village • Longest connection to • Current zoning limits station for bus transfers; development potential to could be offset with north of station modifications to 2040 bus • Largest effect to existing network neighborhood scale and • Not directly served by fabric existing or planned • Considerable Agency TOD dedicated bike facility, but potential (~300 units) on N opportunity to connect to property that could be 42nd Ave SW greenway via acquired for staging and SW Oregon St station entries Guideway and station concepts depicted reflect limited design and shown for illustration and discussion purposes. 5 Avalon Station Level 3 Concepts SW Genesee St Fauntleroy Way SW Guideway and station concepts depicted reflect limited design and shown for illustration and discussion purposes. 6 Avalon Station – SW Genesee St Transit Integration and Land Use and Non-motorized Access Development • Potential station entries • Potential station entries entirely east of 35th Ave less convenient to planned SW and SW Fauntleroy density in West Seattle Wy/West Seattle Bridge Triangle • Challenging location for • Largest effect to efficient transit integration neighborhood scale and and circulation fabric • Not directly served by • Very limited potential for existing or planned Agency TOD on property dedicated bike facility that could be acquired for N staging or station entries Guideway and station concepts depicted reflect limited design and shown for illustration and discussion purposes. 7 Avalon Station – Fauntleroy Way SW Transit Integration and Land Use and Non-motorized Access Development • Station spanning 35th Ave • Potential station entries SW and SW Fauntleroy more convenient to Wy/West Seattle Bridge planned density in West allows for potential entries Seattle Triangle on both sides of busy • Higher development street potential owing to smaller • More potential to permanent footprint consolidate bus zones, • Some potential for Agency though circulation still TOD on property that challenging could be acquired for N • Could be directly served staging or station entries by planned dedicated bike facility Guideway and station concepts depicted reflect limited design and shown for illustration and discussion purposes. 8 Delridge Station Level 3 Concepts North of Andover South of Andover North of Genesee N Guideway and station concepts depicted reflect limited design and shown for illustration and discussion purposes. 9 Delridge Station – North of Andover St Transit Integration and Land Use and Non-motorized Access Development • Direct bus access to • Limited redevelopment station from both sides of opportunities due to street proximity to Nucor Steel, • Challenging pedestrian West Seattle Bridge and bike environment due ramps, and steep slopes to proximity to West to east Seattle Bridge ramps, • Challenging site conditions freight traffic for affordable housing as • Challenging location for part of potential future passenger pick-up/drop-off development N • Could be connected to greenway by new dedicated facility Guideway and station concepts depicted reflect limited design and shown for illustration and discussion purposes. 10 Deridge Station – South of Andover St Transit Integration and Land Use and Non-motorized Access Development • Direct bus access to • Current zoning allows station from both sides of transit-supportive uses street and densities next to • Closer to neighborhood station destinations • Potential for smaller-scale • Potential for ped/bike Agency TOD near station connection to a possible • Less potential to translate hill climb at SW Dakota St guideway effects to from 26th Ave SW neighborhood into greenway via station redevelopment N opportunities Guideway and station concepts depicted reflect limited design and shown for illustration and discussion purposes. 11 Delridge Station – North of Genesee St Transit Integration and Land Use and Non-motorized Access Development • Longer connection to • Current zoning limits station for bus transfers development potential unless buses divert adjacent to station • Potential to vacate or • Largest effect to existing reprogram 25th Ave SW residential neighborhood • Opportunity to connect scale and fabric 26th Ave SW greenway into • Highest potential for station Agency TOD and • Potential opportunity to redevelopment that could span Delridge Wy SW with accommodate new N pedestrian bridge and tie affordable housing and into a hill climb on SW amenities such as grocery * Illustrative concept only based on very limited design Dakota store Guideway and station concepts depicted reflect limited design and shown for illustration and discussion purposes. 12 SODO Station Level 3 Concepts E-3 Elevated E-3 at Grade Guideway and station concepts depicted reflect limited design and shown for illustration and discussion purposes. 13 SODO Station – E-3 Elevated Transit Integration and Land Use and Non-motorized Access Development • Maintains grade of Lander • Current zoning and uses St and current pedestrian/ limit redevelopment vehicular circulation potential adjacent to pattern station • Potential to shift the • Current zoning and uses station closer to Lander to not pedestrian-friendly improve visibility, quality of • Potential to connect connection to 1st Ave mezzanine to adjacent development Guideway and station concepts depicted reflect limited design and shown for illustration and discussion purposes. 14 SODO Station – At Grade Transit Integration and Land Use and Non-motorized Access Development • Requires grade separation • Current zoning and uses of Lander St, altering limit redevelopment vehicular and pedestrian potential adjacent to circulation pattern station • Potential to shift station • Current zoning and uses closer to Lander and not pedestrian-friendly design overpass to • Potential to connect enhance security and overpass and station entry pedestrian access to adjacent development Guideway and station concepts depicted reflect limited design and shown for illustration and discussion purposes. 15 Chinatown-ID Station
