117 Letter FW240 Anonymous Response to Comment I213-1 A median station at S 272nd Street was not considered because constructing a station on the side of a major roadway such as SR 99 is preferred over constructing in the median. Constructing in the median would require acquisition from adjacent properties because the road would need to be widened around the station. SR 99 would need to be detoured around the construction area and would affect traffic in this area for an extended period of time. A median station would also require all users, regardless of mode of access, to cross at least 3 lanes of SR 99, whereas a station located on the side of SR 99 can have parking and bus access located nearby without a road crossing. Response to Comment I213-2 See Section 3.5.2, Transit Service and Operations, of the Final EIS for a discussion of ridership by alternative and station. This section includes a discussion of why ridership estimates are relatively similar between alternatives.
