Locally Preferred Alternative: Dottie Lynn Route (Red) Based on the route analysis, the Dottie Lynn (Red) Route is favored due to the ability to provide a more direct connection to IH-30, available ROW for improvements, and higher development potential along the route. The Handley (Green) Route will be maintained as a high frequency bus route to provide transit service to the existing and planned developments along the I-30 corridor.

Upon selection of an LPA for the mode and route for transit service along Route 89, a screening analysis was conducted to determine the optimal cross section and roadway operations for East Lancaster Avenue from Main Street to Dottie Lynn Parkway.
Corridor Segments
Like most corridors, East Lancaster Avenue varies in width, cross-section, and ROW. It also has different land uses developed at different intensities throughout the corridor, see Figure 41. The existing land use and roadway contexts create logical ways to organize the analysis and recommendations. When considering East Lancaster Avenue, four unique context segments were identified for individual analysis:
Main Street to Riverside Drive Riverside Drive to IH-820 Historic Handley Chilton Street to Dottie Lynn Parkway
