Transit-oriented development (TOD) in Chapel Hill presents an opportunity for the Town to capitalize on the future investment in transit improvements to the North-South Corridor. Chapel Hill Transit is currently completing a study of transit improvement alternatives for the Corridor, which runs from Southern Village north to Eubanks Road, following 15-501, Columbia Street, and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. As one of the most heavily traveled corridors in the Town, and one of the most quickly developing, projected demand for transit service in the corridor is likely to require significant investment in the next 15-20 years. One alternative for improvements to the corridor is to implement a bus rapid transit (BRT) system, creating dedicated transit stations for a bus route running in dedicated lanes. The locally-preferred alternative for Chapel Hill may involve some or all of the traditional characteristics of BRT. This study assumes that the creation of a BRT system is approved using currently proposed station locations. |
