This was a common question during the alternatives development process. As part of the environmental assessment, various modesof transportation were evaluated based on the characteristics of the Powers Corridor. The mode feasibility study began with a list of 20 types of transportation technologies, including rail, bus and bus rapid transit, and carpool lane alternatives, as well as highway and roadway improvement actions. This evaluation, called the Powers Boulevard Mode Feasibility Study/Corridor Assessment, found that although many of the strategies studied would help alleviate congestion, roadway capacity improvements is the only one that could provide sufficient capacity to meet predicted travel demand along the corridor.
