Key Takeaways High-capacity bus provides the greatest mode benefits for Route 89. It is envisioned that technology can be leveraged to implement high-capacity bus in the form of a Tech-Based Rapid Transit solution along Route 89 which utilizes managed lanes, upgraded shelters, transit signal priority, and other premium amenities. The red Dottie Lynn transit route is the favored LPA 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 East Lancaster Avenue LPA is the six-lane managed technology corridor. For Main Street to Riverside Drive, there were no six lane alternatives due to ROW constraints, so this would be four- lanes with shared transit which incorporates all other Tech-Based Rapid Transit elements. This was selected due to its ability to reduce crashes, maintain acceptable traffic operations, and accommodate a flexible tech-based rapid transit service. The Bridge Street and Brentwood Stair Road LPA is the two lane/two-way road scenario as it will maintain existing connections to local businesses, improve mobility and safety, and promote commercial growth in the area.
