After the opening of a popular bus rapid transit (BRT) line, C-TRAN in Vancouver, Wash., is gearing up for the opening of a second line currently under construction. Moreover, C-TRAN is ready to enter planning for its third line. In Minneapolis, Metro Transit is constructing its third arterial BRT line, building on the success of its first two. These two communities in different regions share one thing: the appetite to build on their success and create not just a single BRT line, but a network. Both cities partnered with transit industry consultant HDR to help plan and design these expansions. The $50 million Mill Plain BRT, C-TRAN's second BRT line, will run approximately 10 miles along Mill Plain Boulevard between historic Downtown Vancouver and the growing Columbia Tech Center in East Vancouver, featuring 38 stations and a new nine-bay transit center. |
