On the El Camino Real Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, the VTA Project Team has produced work items related to ridership projections, capital cost estimates, traffic operations and design refinement. The project is considering dedicated lanes for a continuous segment of El Camino from Santa Clara to Mountain View. A significant feature of this configuration would be bicycle lanes. Bicycle counts will take place this fall with estimates of future bike volumes expected by the end of the year. Public outreach for the El Camino Real BRT Project continues. VTA hosted four public open houses for the El Camino Real BRT Project from late September through mid-October. The open houses were held in the cities of Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View and Palo Alto. VTA also hosted a public bus tour on October 22, 2011, which made stops at key locations along the proposed El Camino Real BRT corridor. Approximately 40 to 50 community members attended the tour. A full schedule of project activities can be found at: www.valleyrapid.org.
VTA continues to review the new Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2010, which includes new multimodal Level of Service (LOS) measures for bikes, pedestrians, and transit. VTA together with its local agency partners is exploring how these elements could be incorporated into the Congestion Management Agency policies and guidelines. VTA is in the process of implementing a pilot project to test HCM 2010 multimodal measures at specific locations in Santa Clara County, including on El Camino Real.
