-- Recommended Improvement Plan <br /> <br /> routes. For modeling purposes, specific bus routes were developed and tested. Howev- <br /> er, the TVTP is not intended to be a detailed long-range plan for transit provision. <br />--- Therefore, the specific routes, which are described in the Appendix, should not be <br /> interpreted literally, but as representative of the type of service (headways and <br /> corridors served) that should be provided. <br /> <br /> The following are descriptions of the planned transit service. <br /> <br />_ BART Extension: The plan includes the BART extension to East Dublin with two <br /> stations in the Tri-Valley. The extension is currently under construction and is <br /> projected to open in 1996. The planned BART headways are nine minutes. Both <br /> stations are assumed to have parking lots. The patronage forecasts from the traffic <br /> model indicate demand for at least 6,000 parking spaces combined for the two stations. <br /> Two BART feeder bus lines would be operated: one to Bishop Ranch and Danville, and <br /> one to Livemore. Both would have 30-minute headways. <br /> <br /> Park-n-Ride Lots: The plan includes 11 new park-n-ride lots (See Figure 7-2). These <br /> would be served by various bus lines and could also serve as staging locations for <br />' carpools. <br /> <br /> County Connection: The plan calls for the expansion of service from the current three <br />-- lines serving Tri-Valley (30-minute headways) to eight lines. Three lines would have <br /> 30-minute headways and five lines would have 20-minute headways. The lines would <br /> serve Danville, San Ramon, Bishop Ranch, Dougherty Valley, and some would extend <br />-- down to the East Dublin BART station. <br /> <br /> WHEELS: Under the plan, WHEELS service would expand from the current 11 lines <br /> - with 30-60 minute headways to 21 lines, all with 30-minute headways. The route <br /> system would be extensively revised to serve the two BART stations, park-n-ride lots, <br /> and the newly developed areas of East Dublin and North Livemore. Some routes <br />_ would also extend into San Ramon and Danville. <br /> <br /> Express Bus Service: The plan calls for the provision of nine new express bus routes <br />._. operating in the 1-680, 1-580, and Vasco Road corridors. The following areas are <br /> served: <br /> <br /> 1. Santa Clara County to Pleasanton <br /> 2. Hayward to San Ramon <br /> 3. Santa Clara County to San R~mon <br /> 4. Fremont to San R~mon <br /> 5. Brentwood to Pleasanton <br /> 6. Brentwood to Livemore <br /> 7. Fremont to Livermore <br />" 8. Hayward to Pleasanton <br /> 9.
