Chapter 1 x Executive Summary <br />1-21 <br />x Instituting all-electronic tolling to cross the Highway Bridge <br />x Constructing express lanes on Bayfront Expressway from the Highway Bridge to <br />Marsh Road <br />x Implementing peak bus-only lanes on Willow Road, in lieu of Willow Road express <br />lanes <br />x Constructing a Willow Road / Bayfront Expressway grade separation <br />x Constructing a University Avenue / Bayfront Expressway grade separation <br />x Pursing a US 101 / Marsh Road express lanes direct connector, in lieu of Willow Road <br />express lanes with an express lanes connection to US 101 at Willow Road <br />x Expanding the Ardenwood park-and-ride facility (including an express lanes direct <br />connector at Newark Boulevard) <br />ƒ Operating enhanced bus service from University Avenue to the Dumbarton Rail ROW to <br />planned US 101 express lanes via a direct connector, which could speed bus service and <br />enhance reliability. <br />ƒ Implementing Rail Shuttle service between Redwood City and Newark until unknowns <br />related to regional freight rail and connections to the Union City BART station are resolved. <br />The Rail Shuttle is proposed to be double-tracked to allow for additional capacity into the <br />future. With coordination, this interim rail terminus at Newark could begin to forge <br />connections with ACE and Capitol Corridor. This phase would include a new Newark Park- <br />and-Ride facility. <br />In the mid-to-long-term with a target year of 2030, improvements would include the following: <br />ƒ Increasing the frequency of enhanced bus service to 10 minutes in the peak period and 15 <br />minutes in the off-peak period <br />ƒ Extending the Rail Shuttle from Newark to Union City to connect with BART <br />In the long-term (i.e., 2035 or beyond), commuter rail service that interlines with the Caltrain <br />mainline is desirable to offer a one-seat ride to commuters traveling between the Tri-Valley / <br />Central Valley to the Peninsula and up to San Francisco or down to San Jose. This option would <br />require further investment in the Dumbarton Corridor to electrify the line in addition to new <br />electric rolling stock that will be compatible with the Caltrain mainline. Additionally, the Caltrain <br />mainline will also require upgrades at Redwood Junction and other locations to minimize the <br />potential impacts to mainline operations. <br />Another option considered in the DTCS included converting part of the Dumbarton ROW on the <br />Peninsula to a bicycle and pedestrian multiuse path that could operate next to either bus or rail <br />service. Because of limited ROW on the Peninsula, this option is not recommended for <br />6.1.D. - Page 30
