Alternative Development and Screening
The alternatives development process generated 158 options across the four corridor segments. These options were screened for feasibility and reasonableness using ROW and constructability constraints and performance metrics that align with the goals of the plan, see Figure 42. The expectation for a safe, multi- modal corridor required viable options to accommodate all forms of travel including walk, bike, drive- alone, freight, and transit. The following elements were among those evaluated in the alternatives analysis:
Number of Lanes (4 or 6) Transit Lane Dedication (Full, Partial, or Shared) Type of Bicycle Facility (On or Off-Street)
On-Street Parking Pedestrian Space Medians
Figure 42: Alternatives Screening
The alternatives screening criteria resulted in 15 reasonable cross section alternatives for East Lancaster Avenue. These alternatives were analyzed as groups based on common characteristics such as number of lanes and lane treatment for transit. The reasonable alternatives were then analyzed as groups and scored based on performance in safety, traffic operations, and transit service, see Figure 43.
