The final component of this analysis was the exploration of options for improvements to Brentwood Stair Road and Bridge Street as it pertains to the future TxDOT widening of IH-30. In order to evaluate the optimal and preferred street configurations, an alternatives analysis was conducted for these road segments, see Figure 46.
Figure 44: Bridge Street and Brentwood Stair Road Study Area
The alternatives analysis evaluated the following four scenarios: No-Build: No changes to existing lane configuration, intersection control, or ROW. Four Lane/Two-Way with Direct Ramps: Existing two-way frontage road configuration with direct ramp improvements. One-Way Frontage Roads: Conversion of existing two-way roadways with one-way frontage roads and ramp improvements. Two Lane/Two-Way: One-way frontage roads that run parallel to the modified two lane/two-way collectors of Brentwood Stair Road and Bridge Street, with ramp improvements. Each alternative was given a score from 1-4 based on assumptions, pros and cons, and goal achievement for the study area, see Table 8. 1 = Scenario achieves the goal the least and 4 = Scenario achieves the goal the most.
