i <br /> • The total capital cost for the Durham and Orange Light Rail Project is approximately$1.4 <br /> billion (2011 dollars). Orange County's share is$330 million (2011 dollars). Operations <br /> and Maintenance costs are estimated at$15 million/year(2011 dollars). Orange County's <br /> share of the Operations and Maintenance costs are $3.2 million/year(2011 dollars). <br /> D. Martin Luther King Boulevard Bus Lanes <br /> This investment provides for bus-only lanes on Martin Luther King(MLK) Boulevard from <br /> Interstate 40 to Estes Drive. It will make bus travel times more reliable in peak periods. <br /> Existing buses in the MLK corridor will be re-routed to take advantage of the enhanced <br /> bus lanes. <br /> Orange County's cost for the bus lanes is anticipated to be$20 to$25 million. Since the <br /> bus lanes will be used by existing services,they do not generate any additional <br /> operational costs within the plan. <br /> IV. Maps <br /> Two maps follow. <br /> The first map (page 9) is a conceptual representation of where frequent local and regional bus <br /> service will be put into operation in the first three years following the implementation of this <br /> • plan. <br /> The second map(page 10)shows the Light Rail alignment from Downtown Durham to Chapel <br /> Hill. <br /> • <br /> 5/26/2011-Page 18 <br />
