1 Regional Connector Transit Corridor Scoping Packet Figure 1: At-grade Emphasis LRT Alternative Underground Emphasis LRT Alternative From the 7 th Street/Metro Center Station, this alternative (Figure 2) would extend north along Flower Street with a new underground station north of 5 th Street. At 2 nd Street, the underground tunnel would extend east with new underground stations to provide access to Bunker Hill and to the area between Street and Broadway. The tunnel would emerge to at-grade connections with the Metro Gold Line just southwest of the intersection of 1 st and Alameda Streets. At 1 st and Alameda Streets, a new underpass would carry car and truck traffic along Alameda Street below the rail junction, and a new overhead pedestrian bridge structure would eliminate most conflicts between pedestrians and trains. This Page 3

Regional Connector Transit Corridor Scoping Packet alternative would have a single at-grade crossing at the intersection of 1 st and Alameda Streets. The rest of the route would be underground.

2 Regional Connector Transit Corridor Scoping Packet alternative would have a single at-grade crossing at the intersection of 1 st and Alameda Streets. The rest of the route would be underground. The length of this proposed route would be 1.6 miles. Station locations for this alternative would all be underground and include the area north of 5 th Street on Flower Street, adjacent to Bunker Hill just south of 2 nd Street and 2 nd Street between and Main Streets.
