Alternatives rnatives Evalua luated ted

Baseline Longer Subway and Bridge Shorter Subway and Tunnel

Below ground/subway At grade/street level Above ground/bridge Tail track (used for “short” trains to run only between Downtown and Parkmerced) Range of potential station location

Longer Subway Benefits Longer Subway performs better than Shorter Subway because:

  • Faster and more reliable light rail, bus, shuttle travel time
  • More space available to widen sidewalks and improve

pedestrian and bicycle comfort and safety

  • Costs $90 million more in capital, but saves $1.1 million/year

more in operating costs

Southern bridge, Parkmerced-Ingleside Heights performs better than tunnel because:

  • Faster light rail travel time
  • Creates a new bike/ped link
  • Costs $160 million less

Longer er Subwa way y and Bridge Key Benefits its

Longer Subway and Bridge

35-45% faster M- Ocean View travel time in corridor; $2 million/ year

  • perating

cost savings 30-50 ft for wider sidewalks, bus stops, medians Four new places to cross the street Distance across the street from 120 to <80 ft Enable 3-car trains through

Parkmerced;

future flexibility Reductions in light rail, traffic noise in some locations More reliable vehicle travel

Capital ital and Operating ting Cost sts

*Does not include: change/increase in fare revenue, reduction in capital cost if fewer train sets are needed; systemwide average maintenance/station staffing costs included in operating cost changes

Capital Cost, millions

  • f 2013 $

Baseline $70 Longer Subway + Bridge $520 most likely ($420-$780) *$90 mil. difference between shorter and longer subway , $160 mil. difference between bridge and tunnel

Source: Arup, Level 5 Rough Order of Magnitude Costs developed in accordance with Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering Internal best practices, +30% soft costs
