Mayor Sessoms welcomed William Harrell, President and CEO—Hampton Roads Transit. Mr. Harrell expressed his appreciation to City Council for their continued support: Virginia Beach Transit Extension Study Hilltop Area Alignment Alternatives Virginia Beach City Council Work Session February 19,2013 HAMPTON ROADS TRANSIT Mr. Harrell advised today's presentation is a repeat of what was provided last month; however, it also provides the framework and context for the NEW information being presented today. Below is more specific information for today's presentation: Today's Presentation • Project Purpose • Frequent Updates • Public Engagement • Lessons Learned • Overview of Study • Alignments Under Consideration • Preliminary Cost and Ridership • Planning-Level Data • Next Steps z� �`�'"'"��• '' a:Yw +a7k�tsuo February 19, 2013 I I I ! I I -7- CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS HILLTOP LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT INITIAL FINDINGS (Continued) To add Alternatives to the Study is a meticulous process with the Federal Government and approval was received in October 2012. However, we must now determine whether it is feasible and reasonable for these Alignment Alternatives: Addition of Hilltop Area Alignment to VBTES • City requested addition of Hilltop SGA Alternatives(July 2012) • Request for FTA approval(September 2012) • FTA approval received(October 2012) R NSRR ROW Allgnm.nt yy hr This is the focus of the current Study's efforts: Study of the Hilltop Area Alignment Alternatives Evaluate if a fixed guideway alignment through Hilltop should be added to the Virginia Beach Transit Extension Study by: 1. Examining the physical feasibility of putting fixed guideway transit along Laskin Road/Birdneck Road/First Colonial Road 2. Determining the ridership potential,cost,and major impacts of a Hilltop alignment. February 19, 2013 -8- CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS HILLTOP LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT INITIAL FINDINGS (Continued) tg g' Physical Design and Alignment Under the original VBTES Alignment to the Oceanfront, the service would depart the right-of-way at Birdneck Road, travel down 17`x' Street, cut across to the Convention Center and 19`x' Street, continuing to the Oceanfront. This Alignment cuts through two (2) Navy Clear Zones and three (3) APZ-1 Areas which is a serious concern for the Navy: NSRR to Oceanfront—Development Limitations mgP°° 1 z . 4.,: 4 � -Ro mem � �'�..

Two (2) new stations could be developed in the Hilltop Area to increase ridership: S .ID t m, Laskin Road to Birdneck *-4 MZ 2 a vsv- z .` .'a gs °:.-.5,7q-,,,,-,-4.:...::-,,-;. ,. 9 f/ N AU]RAGA tOiM . _/ As with the Birdneck Road option, two new stations could be developed in the Hilltop area to increase ridership along the system: " a k ,a at N •.we Clears :1'.

The area where 1-264, Virginia Beach Boulevard, Laskin Road and the NSRR Alignment converge is a challenging area for any new transportation alignment. This area is in APZ-1 and APZ- 2, which limits how and where an elevated structure can be built. Proposed options that meet the physical and development limitations include two (2) possible alignments along Parker Lane (one along the existing road "at-grade" and one elevated above the existing road). The third proposed alignment is along London Bridge Road crossing under I- 264. Each of these proposed alignments has pros and cons: Hilltop Alternative Alignments Under Consideration • Three options to get to Laskin Road from the former Norfolk Southern Railroad property near Lynnhaven Parkway • Parker Lane at-grade, • Parker Lane bridge,or • London Bridge Road at-grade V rg nia Beach Boulevard -' i051011, , o° c _ o ? J Any design option must meet the criteria below: Hilltop Area Alignment Alternatives • Design Options • Would require complete reconstruction of Laskin Road including the removal of the feeder road system. • Fit within the existing Laskin Road 160 ft right-of-way • Compatible with the Hilltop SGA Master Plan • Include areas for multi-use path and enhanced landscaping • Four Design Options Under Review • Center/Median Running • Side Running—North side of Laskin • Side Running—South side of Laskin • Side Running—Split on North and South sides of Laskin February 19, 2013 -11- CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS HILLTOP LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT INITIAL FINDINGS (Continued) The Laskin Road "Median Running"design option offers fewer conflicts with existing traffic operations, as well as fewer lanes of traffic for pedestrians to cross to reach a station. However, most of the storm drainage would have to be relocated: Laskin Road Median Running Design Option r� 1 Yy� .-.:.u' �n .�_ --........._ •cwt It The "Side Running"design option will also require a large number of public utilities to be relocated plus a number of driveway entrances that could create safety issues and impact the amount of property acquisition: Laskin Road Side Running Design Option LRT . ..........H - ----- --- ..
