East Lancaster Corridor and Sub-Regional Planning Study RFP

The purpose of this planning effort is to:

• Build-off the land use recommendations from Advancing East Lancaster Phase One
• Develop alternatives for land use and transportation that will lead to:
  • Preferred alternative for a multimodal roadway cross section (including technology) on East Lancaster, along with Brentwood Stair Road and Bridge Street (from Oakland to Bridgewood)
  • Preferred alternative for high-capacity transit routing and mode(s) between Downtown, Handley, the Eastchase/IH 30 shopping area
  • Safety, operational, and aesthetic improvements for parallel, adjacent, and connecting corridors to identified nodes
  • Improved connectivity across the two railroads and freeways within the study area
• Develop a form-based code and regulating plan for the East Lancaster area and other key nodes and corridors
• Serve as a coordinating document for federal processes on identified roadway and transit components to move into the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, design, and construction along East Lancaster Avenue
• Include an action plan for East Lancaster Ave to enter the TxDOT turn-back program for local ownership of the facility (if feasible)
