Tenleytown-AU Station Access Study

February 20, 2014

Project Purpose and Process

2

Analyze current conditions and develop improvement concepts

• n WMATA owned property to accommodate all modes of access

to the Tenleytown-AU Metrorail Station. Major project phases include:

• Existing Conditions and Issues Identification
• Design Framework
• Alternatives Development and Refinement
• Evaluation of Concepts
• Conclusions and Next Steps

Important to note: This is the first step in a multi-phased process to redesign the current facility.

Station Area Needs

6

• Public realm enhancements
• Pedestrian safety improvements
• Bicycle accommodations and supportive

infrastructure

• Transit user waiting areas and amenities;

bus layover areas

• Intersection geometry improvements

Concept Designs

7

• Designed to address the identified concerns and station area

needs

• Planned to address and maximize future multimodal station access

(5% bicycle mode share, future Metrobus ridership growth)

• Coordination with WMATA and DDOT engineers and planners
• Developed three (3) concepts with vary levels of disturbance to the

existing infrastructure; low, medium, and high

• Concepts limited to publicly owned Right-of-Way

Concept A

8

• Short-term, Low Disturbance
• Improved pedestrian desire

lines

• Decreased pedestrian-auto

conflicts

• Improved bicycle facilities
• Additional bus shelter and

layover areas

• On-street parking is preserved

Concept B

9

• Long-term, Medium

Disturbance

• Improved pedestrian desire

lines

• Expanded ped/community

space

• Decreased pedestrian-auto

conflicts

• Improved bicycle facilities
• Additional bus shelter and

layover areas

• Improved intersection

geometry

• Loss of 31 on-street metered

parking spaces

Concept C

10

• Long-term, High Disturbance
• Improved pedestrian desire

lines

• Expanded ped/community

space

• Decreased pedestrian-auto

conflicts

• Improved bicycle facilities
• Additional bus shelter and

layover areas

• Improved intersection

geometry

• Loss of 24 on-street metered

parking spaces

Capital Cost Estimates

11

Concept Capital Cost Estimate Concept A – Low Disturbance $2.4M Concept B – Medium Disturbance $4.6M Concept C – High Disturbance $7.6M

• Includes site preparation, modifications to curb lines, and design

elements featured in each design concept.

• Includes 10% Preliminary Engineering/Plan Review, 25% Contingency, and

15% Engineering Overhead.

• Capital costs estimates takes into account money already programmed in

WMATA’s Capital Improvement Program for station canopy.

• Right-of-way costs are not included.
