(PACE) would like to thank you for this opportunity to provide this Scope and <br />Budget proposal for providing professional engineering and planning services for Everett Mall Bus <br />Station Platform design (the project). <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />PACE understands the following: <br />The existing transit center is proposed to be relocated approximately 400 feet to the west, to make <br />room for redevelopment efforts at the mall. Everett Transit aims to construct a single-sided bus <br />platform to serve four bus stops with standard shelters and two additional bus layover bays. <br />Everett Transit also wishes to construct a 400-SF operator comfort building. Everett Transit has <br />about 360 LF, south to north frontage, to work with. For buses to have independent arrival and <br />departure, they must be parked approximately 60 feet from each other so arriving buses can <br />adequately turn in and line up paralleled to a straight curb line. A sawtooth configured transit <br />center, illustrated in the center graphic below, is more efficient and allows for more bus bays and <br />only requires buses to be parked approximately 20 feet apart. Single-sided transit platforms can <br />be designed and constructed narrower (approximately 20 feet wide) than traditional double-sided <br />transit loop platforms. Optimizing the transit center bus bay layout will be critical in addition to <br />coordinating bus bay program/needs.
