Burbank, Senior Planner DATE: April 13, 2016 RE: Workshop: Red Rock Corridor Bus Rapid Transit Station Planning Introduction The Red Rock Corridor Commission is actively working on Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Planning - within the Red Rock Transit Corridor. A workshop is scheduled at 6:00 p.m. prior to the regular Council meeting on April 20 to discuss the implementation plan related to the establishment of BRT within the corridor. A good explanation of the corridor can be found on the Commission's website at http://www.redrockcorridor.com; a clip of that narrative is included below. Q:What is the Red Rock Corridor? A:The Red Rock Corridor is a pro�osed 30-►nile transitway, connecting the Twin Cities'southe�stern suburbs to St. Paul and MiiineaE�olis.The transitway originates in Hastings with stops in Cottage Grove, Newport and St. PauPs Battle Creek neighborhooci before connecting to St. Paul's Union Depot,the University of Minnesota anci downtawn MinneaE�olis Interchange Station. Future plans call for extending the corridor into Goodhue County with potential station sto�s at the Prairie Islanci fndian Community and the ciry of Red Wing.

Red Rock Corridor i Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Charlene Stevens ', BRT Station Planning I April 13, 2016 Page 2 of 2 Washington County provides the staff support for the Commission, and in conjunction with consulting assistance from Kimley-Horn and Associates, is in the process of completing an ; implementation plan that includes the routing options for the BRT route within the corridor and ' the supporting station stops along the designated route. The service schedule that is being , planned for is all-day service running every 15 minutes. This service would be in addition to the existing express bus routes that operate out of the Cottage Grove Park and Ride. Related to ' those existing routes, an interesting three-page figure is attached that depicts the origination locations of riders utilizing the existing park and ride lots and the lot capacities as based on a � license plate survey completed in 2014. , The routing preference discussion was previously held with the City Council at a workshop on � January 20, 2016. The identified BRT station areas are both guided and zoned commercially. , The options for the Phase 1 South Station are adjacent to the District Program Center on East ' Point Douglas Road. The Phase 1 North Station options are proposed to be adjacent to the TCF � Bank site along East Point Douglas Road. The draft schematics are included with this report. , Both options appear to be viable and feasible designs, with the cost for the Jamaica roundabouts i and business park stop being predictably higher due to a road relocation design component. � Both sites are positioned in areas that are likely to attract the highest number of riders based on , job and housing locations and offer opportunities for strategic land use redevelopment designed ' around this mode of transit. The Langdon area, which is designated as a mixed land use, has � been identified as a future BRT station as infrastructure, road improvements, and development occur in that section of the City. i Summary i The addition of Bus Rapid Transit as a transit choice in Cottage Grove will be an overdue and '' much needed asset for the community. The forthcoming draft and final implementation reports will cover estimated construction, operation, and maintenance costs as well as the predicted ridership information. Recommendation That the City Council review the materials and discuss the BRT station planning options at the workshop on April 20, 2016. � i I.
