8.B. - Page 54 of 70 <br />Redwood City Broadway Streetcar/Urban Circulator Study <br />Summary Report <br />■ Streetcar Broadway Direct (Alternative 1A) <br />■ Streetcar Broadway -Marshall Direct (Alternative 3B) <br />■ Urban Circulator (Alternative 8) <br />Streetcar Broadway -Marshall Direct Alternative (3B) was the <br />highest ranked, but the Streetcar Broadway Direct <br />Alternative (1A) was retained as well because of its service to <br />the historic core of Downtown. The Urban Circulator <br />Alternative performed well and is cost effective, but would <br />likely have lower ridership and economic benefits than the <br />streetcar options. Further engineering and cost evaluations <br />were performed for these shortlisted alternatives, but a <br />single preferred alternative will not be selected until funding <br />and institutional considerations are better defined, <br />additional community outreach is conducted, and <br />environmental impacts are considered in more detail. <br />Moving forward with multiple options also allows for <br />flexibility given the potential for changes to development <br />patterns and activity in downtown. <br />The three shortlisted alternatives are described in detail and <br />shown on a diagram below. Because the implementation of <br />Dumbarton rail may require moving the Transit Center to the <br />north of Broadway, the alternatives include a second <br />terminus alignment to serve the potential future Transit <br />Center location. <br />Smith <br />Page 18 <br />597 <br />
