Project: Ash Street extension between Burnham and commuter rail parking lot. Estimated cost: $949,000(local match$97,463) Description: The extension of Ash Street between Burnham and the proposed commuter rail park and ride lot will be one part of the larger Walnut Street extension. The construction of this portion of Ash Street would allow access to the southern portion of the park and ride lot,thereby,providing the opportunity to design a second access. This would allow commuter rail patrons using the park and ride lot the option of entering and existing from either Main Street or Ash Street. The second access will not increase the number of trips, but rather will ease potential congestion along an already congested Main Street. This project is not in the RTP on the financially constrained system,however, the City proposes to trade a portion of the construction of 72nd Avenue(RTP project#6042). Because this project is a short length and will serve the commuter rail parking lot,it is anticipated that it will not result in any additional air quality impacts. This proposal is in accordance with the eligibility requirements and will require approval from JPACT and the Metro Council. Anticipated fund and budget year: TIF 08-09 i i_ i i_ i r
