and Assocla~s, Inc. 3. IDENTIFY EXISTING AND POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS The opportunities and constraints mapping from Task 1 should clearly identify the existing travel corridors both internal to the plan area (east of US 101 from Whipple to Seaport), and connections between the plan area, downtown, and the rest of Redwood City and the region, In addition, the mapping will identify physical and operational constraints to the use of these connections for various modes of travel. This task will further refine the opportunities and constraints map resulting in a preliminary connectivity system both internal and external to the plan area. All connections will be considered regardless of past reasons for exclusion (e.g. bicycle connection between Bair island and Redwood Shores). The preliminary system will include existing and potential new connections. The connectivity system will identify, but not be limited to, the following: · Roadways for automobile, transit and freight circulation; · Alternative bicycle routes (Class I, II, and III); · Alternative pedestrian systems; · Modification to existing SamTrans bus systems; · Small scale transit routes (e.g. shuttle systems); · Fixed guideway systems (LRT on existing tell, and/or personal or group rapid transit systems on various alignments, historic trolleys, etc.); · Remote parking lots (citywide and regionally) and shuffle/rail, and HOV connections; · Waterway transportation systems (including connectivity to regional ferry system); · Bus Rapid Transit/HOV systems on exclusive facilities (on or off-street); · Car-share program based in plan area; and · Recreational/transportation connections to accommodate walking, biking, rollerblading, etc. The preliminary connectivity map will be further refined as the plan takes shape, but the intent of the map is to identify all possible existing and potential connections regardless of perceived feasibility, cost, or other constraints. At this preliminary stage, the team will identify the potential timing of solutions as they relate to the development of the Bay Front Study Area projects. Deliverable: Preliminary connectivity map and summary memorandum. 4. 'DEVELOP ALTERNATE MODE SOLUTIONS CATALOG Redwood City's decision-makers will require a concise description of transportation options, their pros and cons, and rough cost estimates to make informed decisions. The Kimley-Horn team will develop an Alternative Mode Solution Catalog for this purpose. The solutions catalog will be a state-of-the-practice handbook on the types of alternate transportation options for Redwood City. The objective of the catalog is to provide a wish-list of potential measures and improvements to move people away from automobiles. Each solution will be specific to Redwood City and the plan area, identifying how it might be physically and operationally implemented, along with its potential effectiveness in reducing auto travel, and order of magnitude capital and operating costs. It is expected that the long-list of solutions will be narrowed down with staff and TAC review, focusing on those solutions that will best serve the City in a sustainable manner over many years. The catalog will not only include alternative mode solutions, but also programmatic, policy, and operational solutions that work together as a package. These measures include effective employer-based Transportation Demand Management "packages" of measures; social Redwood City Bey Front Transportation Options Study February 19, 2002 Scope of Work Page 2
