2
BACKGROUND In 2013, Valley Metro initiated a transit corridor study for the West Phoenix/Central Glendale area to identify high-capacity transit service options to connect downtown Glendale to the existing light rail system along 19th Ave. The study identified a transit service area from 19th Ave. to 67th Ave., and Northern Ave. to Camelback Rd. In partnership with the cities of Glendale and Phoenix and the community, the study will determine a route location and a type of transit (light rail, streetcar or bus rapid transit) that will best serve transportation needs. This is one of several corridors identified in the voter-approved Regional Transportation Plan to add 40 miles of high-capacity transit to the existing 20-mile light rail system. PROJECT STATUS Based on the location of population, employment and activity centers, Valley Metro identified six route alternatives for further study. Analysis included evaluation of travel time, basic cost, constructability, right-of-way and economic development opportunities. The route options identified for continued study are Camelback Rd./43rd Ave. and Glendale Ave. As a result of technical analysis and public input to date, an additional route has been identified for further study on Camelback Rd./Grand Ave./51st Ave. Other routes on Northern Ave., Grand Ave. and Bethany Home Rd. have been removed from further consideration. Additionally, three types of transit were evaluated. The analysis identified light rail and bus rapid transit as the best options for continued study. The streetcar transit option has been removed from further consideration.

ESTUDIO DEL CORREDOR DE TRANSPORTE
ACTUALIZACIÓN DEL PROYECTO DECIEMBRE DE 2014
WEST PHOENIX/CENTRAL GLENDALE
ANTECEDENTESEn 2013, Valley Metro inició un estudio del corredor de transporte para el área del Oeste de Phoenix/Centro de Glendale, a fin de identificar opciones de servicio de transporte de alta capacidad para conectar al centro de Glendale con el sistema existente del tren ligero a lo largo de 19th Ave. El estudio identificó un área de servicio de transporte de 19th Ave. a 67th Ave. y de Northern Ave. a Camelback Rd. En sociedad con las ciudades de Glendale y Phoenix, así como con la comunidad, el estudio determinará una ubicación para la ruta y el tipo de transporte (tren ligero, tranvía o autobús de transporte rápido) que mejor satisfaga las necesidades de transporte. Éste es uno de varios corredores identificados en el Plan Regional de Transporte aprobado por los votantes, para agregar 40 millas de transporte de alta capacidad al sistema existente del tren ligero de 20 millas.
ESTATUS DEL PROYECTOBasándose en la ubicación de la población, los empleos y los centros de actividades, Valley Metro identificó seis alternativas de rutas para mayor estudio. El análisis incluyó la evaluación del tiempo de viaje, el costo básico, la habilidad de construcción, el derecho de paso y las oportunidades de desarrollo económico. Las opciones de rutas identificadas para continuar siendo estudiadas son Camelback Rd./43rd Ave. y Glendale Ave. Como resultado del análisis técnico y de la opinión del público a la fecha, se ha identificado una ruta adicional para continuar siendo estudiada en Camelback Rd./Grand Ave./51st Ave. Otras rutas en Northern Ave., Grand Ave. y Bethany Home Rd. ya no están siendo consideradas.
Además, se evaluaron tres tipos de transporte. El análisis identificó al tren ligero y al transporte por autobús rápido como las mejores opciones a continuar siendo estudiadas. Ha sido removida de mayor consideración la opción de transporte por tranvía.

Alternativas Propuestas a las Rutas
SIGUIENTES PASOSValley Metro continuará con el análisis del corredor, evaluando el potencial de la cantidad de pasajeros, detallando el derecho de paso y los impactos al tráfico, así como los cálculos detallados del costo. Además, se incluirá en la evaluación un análisis más enfocado en el Área de Análisis del Centro de la Ciudad de Glendale (mostrada en el mapa). Se solicita la opinión de la comunidad a través del proceso del estudio. Al terminar el estudio, Valley Metro buscará la aprobación de Phoenix y Glendale de la alternativa preferida, a fin de proceder a la fase de diseño y del análisis medioambiental. Se ha planeado que las operaciones comiencen en el año 2026.
