Technical Memorandum #1' General Transit Demand Study April 2004 <br /> <br />Part V: Next Steps and RecommendatiOns <br /> <br />This study presents a potential demand for transit service in Ramsey. As the City moves forward <br />with the Ramsey Town Center project, a number of "next steps" and recommendations that <br />should be taken to ensure that transit becomes an integral component of the Ramsey Town <br />Center. <br /> <br />Ensure that the Northstar Commuter Coach makes a stop in the Ramsey Town <br />Center. Because the Northstar Commuter Coach currently travels through Ramsey <br />along Highway 10, it has always been assumed that once a park and ride facility was <br />available, the Commuter Coach would make a stop in the RTC. This study and our <br />demand estimates are based on this assumption. We presented varying demand <br />estimates because the LEVEL of service is still unknown. <br /> <br />Consider a Transportation Demand Management study for the RTC. While transit is <br />a vital component of the RTC, so too are other modes of transportation. Driving, walking, <br />using transit and biking should all compliment each other to ensure a variety of <br />t~ansportation choices. Once the RTC is fully built out, it will feature a unique mix of <br />retail, office and housing that will include a much higher density of uses compared to <br />other developments in the city or region. This type of development is especially suitable <br />for encouraging a number of various modes of transportation, as well as promoting o~ther <br />types of TDM strategies. ~ <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br /> <br />
