I65 US31 Mobility Matters

Comments

The I-65/US 31 Mobility Matters project is examining a number of transportation alternatives along the I-65/US 31 corridor from Valleydale Road to the City Center/UAB area.  Examples of possible improvements to be evaluated include but are not limited to High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes and a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system.  While funding has not been identified at this point for these potential improvements, we are interested in gathering input from the public on the ideas and possible alternatives.  The purpose of this comment form is to collect information from the public.

Please take a few minutes to answer the following questions and/or provide us your comments.

1)
We are evaluating potential transit station locations along I-65.  Do you think these locations would be effective in attracting transit riders, as a business/commuter destination, or as a recreational destination?

In an effort to make the system easily accessible to commuters, we want to identify key park and ride locations.  Park and ride lots provide a safe and convenient place to leave your car or bike when accessing the system.  Where would you like to see new park and ride lots located?
