Routes were also paired with <br /> transit vehicles to create "alternatives". <br /> • Specific criteria were applied to the alternatives and as a result, three alternatives are <br /> recommended to advance for further study (view mao of north & south alternatives): <br /> o Dedicated Guideway Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) on County/Rail ROW* between St. <br /> Paul and Forest Lake <br /> • Light Rail Transit (LRT)/Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) on County/Rail ROW* <br /> between St. Paul and White Bear Lake <br /> o Arterial Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) on Arcade St/ Maryland Ave/White Bear Ave <br /> between St. Paul and White Bear Lake <br /> • Thirteen route segments into downtown are also recommended for further study (view <br /> man of downtown routes). <br /> *Route uses right-of-way owned by Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority(RCRRA), <br /> Washington County Regional Railroad Authority(WCRRA) and BNSF Railway. <br /> For more details about the Tier 1 Evaluation Process, visit the project website. <br /> Provide feedback on the routes and transit vehicles recommended for further study: <br /> _Attend an upcoming community meeting <br /> Provide comments online <br /> UPCOMING COMMUNITY MEETINGS <br /> httpsJ/us-mg6.mai l.yahoo.com/neoAaunch?.rand=9nocl6goug2bm#998815846 <br /> 1 1/3 <br />
