Promotes environmental justice by providing reverse commute <br />. No significant influence on land use development <br />. Capital cost approximately $43 million + $6 million for right-of-way (1999$) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Alt. 3 Commuter Rail and Feeder Bus <br />. Increases 2020 transit ridership by 10,000 trips per day <br />. Small decrease in vehicle miles of travel <br />. Reduction in regional air pollutant emissions and energy consumption <br />. No perceptible change in noise levels <br />. No significant negative environmental effects <br />. Promotes environmental justice by providing reverse commute <br />. Provides opportunity to focus economic growth <br />. Capital cost approximately $190 million + $6 million for right-of-way <br />(1999$) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Alt. 4 TH 10 Improvements, Commuter Rail and Feeder Bus <br />. Increases 2020 transit ridership by 9,800 trips per day <br />. Small decrease in regional vehicle miles of travel <br />. Reduces traffic in the 1-94 corridor <br />. Reduced highway accident potential <br />. Reduction in regional air pollutant emissions and energy consumption <br />. No perceptible change in noise levels <br />. Potential parkland and floodplain impacts <br />. Promotes environmental justice by providing reverse commute <br />. Provides opportunity to focus economic growth <br />. Capital cost approximately $304 million ($190 million rail + $114 million <br />roadways) + $6 million for rail right-of-way + $52 million for roadway right- <br />of-way (1999$) <br />
