Other modes to be evaluated include public <br /> transportation, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. Using information from the AA, travel patterns and the <br /> overall transportation network within the project study area and the project effects will be described. <br /> Effects on existing and planned bicycle and pedestrian facilities will be assessed. Broad-based effects on <br /> the public transportation system will also be documented. <br /> Deliverable: <br /> is Section of the DIES (Draft and Final) <br /> 4.3.6 Pairkfing Ilun l,.)acts <br /> An analysis of available parking and parking impacts will be conducted by the project team.This will also <br /> include evaluation of the need for and location of park and ride lots at station locations throughout the <br /> project corridor. The parking requirements at stations will be evaluated based on outputs from the <br /> Traffic Data Model (TDM) and verified through coordination with local municipalities and county <br /> agencies and with the station area design and TOD team. Potential joint opportunities or shared parking <br /> opportunities will be explored and evaluated in parking constrained areas. The analysis will also include <br /> an evaluation of parking costs within the project corridor. <br /> Deliverable: <br /> 1 Section of the DIES (Draft and Final) <br /> 4.4 Affected IEnvironirnent and Environmental liarulpact Assessunaent <br /> 4. .1 Land Use and Comirnuunity Faciplities <br /> The URS team will prepare the existing conditions sections for land use and community facilities. This <br /> data will be updated based on data collected for the AA and refined for the New Starts submittal. The <br /> data will be analyzed and local area planners and other officials will be contacted as needed to complete <br /> the assessment of potential impacts and benefits. Existing and future land use maps delineating <br /> residential, commercial, industrial, public, agricultural and undeveloped areas adjacent to the alignment <br /> will be revised and impacts identified as necessary.
