BACKGROUND:
The proposed extension of the Cottonbelt from south Fort Worth through Grapevine to
DFW International Airport is a highly ranked corridor in recent NCTCOG studies of
regional rail in the Metroplex. For the City of Grapevine, this project poses some very
complex issues that will ultimately require the voters of Grapevine to consider a 3/8 cent
sales tax increase to fund the City's annual $6.5 million participation in the project.
Issues that need to be considered include:
• Contracts with the "T" and other parties including interlocal agreements,
construction agreements and operating agreements
• Corridor cities funding participation initially and future
• Review of alternatives analysis being prepared by the "T"
• Review of project related documents including ridership studies and potential
service schedule
• Coordination with the "T", NCTCOG and DFW Staff
• Site location of potential rail station
• Prospects for future Transit Oriented Development (TOD) in the downtown area
• Prospects for economic development generated by rail line and station
• Specific needs in design of rail station
• Parking needs
• Desired appearance of rail station & parking facilities
• Offline connection analysis for shuttle services to major destinations in Grapevine
• Independent cost estimates for elements desired by the city including the station,
parking facilities, street crossing improvements and other related needs.
These issues require the services of a firm experienced in this field who can provide the
City with the needed advice, guidance, situational assessment and manpower to
address the issues in a timely manner.

COMMUTER RAIL - FORT WORTH TO
Fort Worth Transportation Authority
The Trinity Railway Express, TRE, Commuter Rail System extends between Fort Worth and Dallas along
the existing 34 -mile Rock Island Railroad corridor. Planning, development, and operation of the commuter
rail service is jointly sponsored by DART and FWTA, representing the Dallas and Fort Worth sections of
the region. The initial 11 -mile service between downtown Dallas and the City of Irving was planned and
designed by Huitt-Zollars for DART. This starter system employs self-propelled DMV cars and has four
stations. The FWTA retained Huitt-Zollars to plan and design a 24 -mile extension from Irving to downtown
Fort Worth. Huitt-Zollars was responsible for the design of Package 3 of Phase 2A, which extends 24 miles
from south Irving to Fort Worth. The scope of this project included:
► Operations planning for the entire commuter rail system.
► Development of a track configuration agreeable to the Burlington Northern established by FWTA
and Union Pacific railroads, Amtrak, and the TRE to meet railroad operating requirements and
budgetary limitations of the "T".
► Design of signal and communication systems for increased rail service in the corridor.
► Fare collection system coordination with FWTA and DART.
► Design of three new passenger stations between south Irving and downtown Fort Worth.
► Design of track expansions and rehabilitation, new highway crossing warning systems and
renovations/expansion to several bridges in the corridor.
► Public involvement, coordination, and permitting with neighborhoods, municipal government, and
regulatory/permitting agencies.
The existing rail use in this corridor included freight operations for the Burlington Northern and Union
Pacific railroads. The railroad operations are conducted under agreements with Fort Worth and Dallas, joint
owners ofthe rail line. TRE assumed responsibility for train dispatching and track/signal system maintenance.
The signal system is critical to railroad operations. The final signal system is comprised of two subsystems
integrated to safely support the desired operation. The first subsystem is the vital wayside signal system
consisting of two elements, the automatic block signal system, and controlled end of siding interlockings.
The combination of these two elements provides operational flexibility, track capacity (derived from
headway), and safe train separation at maximum operating speeds. The second subsystem is the automatic
highway crossing warning (AHCW) systems
installed at roadway at -grade crossings. These
are high visibility systems under the scrutiny
of the general public. The site design elements
will be uniformly recognizable as a part of the
"system" at each station, while allowing certain
local distinguishing features to vary at each
station. Pedestrian walkways and vehicular/
transit traffic circulation were designed for
safe and convenient flow with proper safety.

UNION STATION #1►
TRANSIT CENTER
Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority
Huitt-Zollars was the prime consultant for programming through construction document development for
design of this multimodal transit center located at the historic Union Station in downtown Dallas, Texas.
Union Station serves as a central transfer, origination/destination point for downtown bus movements and
Light Rail Transit, commuter rail (Railtrans).
The design elements included vehicle and pedestrian circulation, rail facilities and systems, architectural
shelters, and pedestrian tunnels. The facility and site required unique design sensitivity because oftight urban
characteristics, surrounding an historic structure and its adjacency to Dealey Plaza, the JFK assassination
site.

DOWNTOWN LRT TRANSIT MALL
Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority
The Central Business District (CBD) Transitway Mall project consisted of utility relocations, street
reconstruction, placement of rail, and urban design features for approximately 1.2 miles of the DART LRT
Starter System through the Dallas Central Business District. Huitt-Zollars was responsible for the civil
design including trackwork, street infrastructure, traffic signals, and utility improvements. Affected utilities
include TU Electric ductbank and manholes, Southwestern Bell Telephone, MCI, and TCI telecommunication
ductbank and manholes, water, wastewater, and Lone Star Gas main line.
The $48 million project includes four stations, extensive landscaping, pedestrian and passenger amenities,
$26 million in drainage and utility relocations, and an extensive public involvement program. The project
includes major modifications to the City's traffic control plan. The plan, which is being developed in
conjunction with the City of Dallas, includes eliminating through traffic along the transit mall and complete
retiming of the CBD traffic signal system.
The design schedule was 13 months, and this schedule was met. The project was bid at $44.3 million, about
4 percent above the Engineer's Estimate of $42.7 million. A high contingency for unforseen conditions was
also incorporated into the total budget for this line section because of the congested nature of the transit
mall.

UPTOWN TRANSIT CENTER
Huitt-Zollars was selected to provide conceptual design services for the Uptown Transfer Center. The City of
Albuquerque Transit Department decided to build a bus transfer center in the Uptown area of Albuquerque,
NM. Uptown is a large retail/commercial area which has historically been known to have traffic congestion
and air quality issues. In an effort to increase bus-riderships and stimulate mixed-use development, the City
has purchased a 0.6 -acre site located within the urban core to locate this new facility.
The project will not only provide the opportunity for mixed-use transit oriented development, but will also
begin to form a pedestrian -friendly circulation system, connecting the existing retail and office developments
in the area.
Huitt-Zollars provided all major design services required for the project, including architecture, civil and
traffic engineering, landscape architecture, and cost estimating. Specialty consultants will be used for
environmental and developmental concerns. Huitt-Zollars also assisted with community and neighborhood
meetings.
Huitt-Zollars was also selected to perform the planning and design of four park and ride facilities.
The project includes performing site feasibility studies and site selection. Once sites are identified,
environmental documentation is prepared. Huitt-Zollars also provided technical support for public meetings.
A comprehensive site development plan is prepared for each site identifying street access, parking lot
layout, bus access, bicycle access, pedestrian movement, platform development, shelters, and amenities.
Site plans will consider initial and future phases of development. Complete construction documents, plans,
specifications, and estimates are prepared for each site.

. URBAN GUIDELINES
'Valley Metro
For the Central Phoenix/ East Valley light rail transit project, Huitt-Zollars was prime urban design consultant
responsible for developing the urban design guidelines for the 21 -mile starter line. The guidelines will also
be applied to future system/corridor expansion. The LRT corridor runs from Phoenix, through Tempe, and
into Mesa, with approximately 95 percent on City streets. The Urban Design Guidelines, completed in June,
2001, provide urban design guidance to the project's future architects, landscape architects, urban designers
and engineers. The guidelines are grounded in the environmental, social, climatic and physical realities of
the East Valley region. Several of the key elements comprising the urban design guidelines include the light
rail vehicle, overhead catenary system, traction power sub -station, maintenance yard and shops, transitway
paving, station platform, adjacent activity areas, and landscaping. The project comprises more than twenty
key elements, each having an urban design function within the overall project. Huitt-Zollars coordinated
all project activities for the consulting team, including guidelines development, meetings with the regional
urban design Task Force, implementation methodology, public open houses, team Charrettes and work
sessions.

i TION PLAN
Orange County Tra/7SPortation Authority
Huitt-Zollars has been retained by OCTA to develop the implementation plan for this 44 -mile commuter rail
system. The system, scheduled for initial service in 1995, will start with four or six daily commuter trains
to carry 3,000 daily passengers. Over a 20 -year period, the service is expected to increase to 12 daily trains
to carry 14,000 passengers.
In developing the implementation plan, Huitt-Zollars performed a multi -phase analysis of alternative
development strategies for track capacity, track improvements, stations, connecting bus service, parking
facilities, patronage, operating expense, capital funding, and operating revenues. The project phases include
initial review of ten options for initial service, and then the evaluation of three alternative development
strategies for detailed study. The selected plan is expected to achieve a minimum of 40 percent of operating
expense from farebox revenue. Huitt-Zollars is also incorporating the development of layover facilities,
maintenance shops, and related support facilities into the master implementation plan.
The adopted plan calls for a 44 -mile system with 11 stations, with $47 million of track improvements to
an existing rail line which will accommodate both freight and passenger services. The plan also calls for
stations to be funded and developed by local municipalities. The scope of work includes the following:

SEATTLE LINE LRT SYSTEM
SECTION -700
Sound Transit of Seattle, Washington
Huitt-Zollars was selected to design Section 700 of Sound Transit's Link Light Rail Project, located between
the south end of the International District Station and the east side of Airport Way at South Forest Street.
The line is approximately 8,000 feet in length, and is composed of approximately 6,000 feet of surface
construction, approximately 2,000 feet of aerial structure main line, and south approximately 1,200 feet
of the aerial connections to the maintenance facility to be located on Rainier Brewery property adjacent
to Airport Way. The line is located within the existing E-3 busway for approximately 1,000 feet, and then
moves adjacent to the east side of the E-3 busway, crossing South Royal Brougham Way at grade. The
busway will be converted to rail use only north of South Royal Brougham Way. Direct fixation track will
be utilized south of Royal Brougham Way.
A turnback track, approximately 900 feet in length from point of switch to point of switch, will be located
between the two mains immediately south of the Royal Brougham station to allow southbound trains to
turn back to the north without interfering with the passage of through trains. From the end of the turnback
track, the tracks will narrow to 14 -foot track centers and be located generally within BNSF right-of-way
immediately adjacent to the east side of the E-3 busway. An overhead 230 kv transmission main, belonging
to Seattle City Light, is presently located between the busway and the BNSF track. The Seattle Power and
Light transmission main will have to be relocated eastward between the light rail tracks and the bike path.
The line will remain in the BNSF right-of-way and cross South Lander Street at grade, allowing the Lander
Street Station to be shifted several hundred feet south to ease the transfer between LRT and buses. Then the
line will ascend to an aerial configuration, curve eastward across South Forest Street, run above existing
private property along the south side of South Forest Street, and cross all streets and the BNSF industrial
tracks in an aerial configuration. After crossing over Airport Way, the alignment descends to the surface
just west of I-5. Aerial connections to the maintenance facility are also included in the DS 700 design
package.

NORTHEAST LOS ANGELES LINKAGES
MASTER PLAN
! o,,7 Angeles, Caiffornia
Huitt-Zollars provided urban design services for the Arroyo Seco Parkway and Metro Gold Line corridor
pedestrian linkages and urban open space master plan improvements within twelve northeast Los Angeles
neighborhoods totaling approximately 17 square miles. The 3 -year project generated results that include:
(1) a master plan for boulevard redesign, pedestrian safety and aesthetic improvements for 7 miles of surface
arterials throughout the study area; and (2) an urban design master plan for transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and
open space connections (linkages) between the Arroyo Seco Parkway (I 10 Pasadena Freeway), Metro Gold
Line and all 12 neighborhoods in the vicinity of these two north/south transportation corridors. The study
incorporates the Gold Line light rail transit project and numerous regional influences together with local
community resources, including the historic Arroyo Seco (tributary of the Los Angeles River), historic
architectural resources, cultural resources, parks and public open spaces, schools, commercial centers, and
major institutions.
Four public workshops, three charettes, and two open houses were the focus of the community involvement
effort, led by Huitt-Zollars. The final charette — focusing on Implementation — included elected officials
from city, county, state and federal government and leaders from key public agencies. The charette resulted
in prioritization of all proposed improvement programs intended to bring about safer, more accessible
and inviting connections between the community, tourists and NE LA resources. A program of proposed
boulevard improvements was developed for major arterials that include San Fernando Road (Avenue 26 to
the Glendale Freeway), N. Figueroa St. (San Fernando Road to Mannion Way), Marmion Way (N. Figueroa
Street to Avenue 50) and Pasadena Ave. (Avenue 26 to N. Figueroa Street) as part of NE Community
Linkages Phases 2A, 3A and 4. The Urban Design Linkages Master Plan includes many neighborhoods
between downtown Los Angeles and the South Pasadena/Pasadena city boundary. These include Chinatown,
Victor Heights, Solano Canyon, Glassell Park, Cypress Park, Lincoln Heights, Montecito Heights, Mount
Washington, Highland Park, Monterrey Hills, Hermon, and Garvanza.
The resulting master linkages plan will be implementation -ready — that is, it will be able to be utilized by
the City of Los Angeles as an Action Plan for use by the City Council Members and other elected officials
in pursuing local, state, and federal funding.
