Great report except it missed the most obvious recommendation: "decouple transit improvement from utilities projects"
- jljljl 3y agoThe issue was that in this case they couldn’t — a lot of the BRT benefits came from creating a center lane, and that center lane was infeasible unless they did the utility project first.
- kfarr 3y agoI'm not an expert but have served on BRT CAC for Geary. They could have done side running and defer utilities to another agency at a later date, after which point move to center running. Or any other of the plethora of options that didn't involve a transit agency running a utility project.
