Alternatives Development. This subtask will focus on refining the alternatives developed in Phase I through preparation of operating plans. Phase I developed generalized descriptions for bus rapid transit including fixed guideway components along ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Avenue and Shawnee Mission Parkway/Martway Street. Subsequent evaluation and screening of these conceptual alternatives will be completed to narrow the range of viable alternatives to a manageable number to carry forward into a detailed analysis. This analysis includes the development of more detailed definition of alternatives, including an adequate transportation system management alternative likely to serve as the project’s Baseline Alternative for Small Starts reporting purposes. The following alternatives were developed in the Phase I study: • No Build • TSM • Build Fixed Guideway on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Avenue and Martway Consider alternatives (consistent with joint FTA/FHWA guidance, and new SAFETEA- LU requirements), proposed in Phase I of this study, review and revise the assumptions upon which those alternatives were considered, evaluate project elements, including but not limited to alignment options and station locations, and confirm that these alternatives meet the project Purpose and Need.
