EVALUATION PROCEDURE All the potential travel corridors from each CBD were considered in the evaluation. Corridors to serve Subregion 4 and 12 were not considered eligible according to the policy plan since they are not contiguous to either~of the Metro Center Subregions. The corridors are listed in Table 1. - Table 1.

The advantage of the procedure is that each corridor is given an equal chance for selection until it becomes apparent that it does not have the most desirable attributes. The first, second and third cut criteria are applied sequentially. That is, a corridor must meet the criteria in the first cut before it is analyzed using the second cut and third cut criteria. The evaluation technique specifies that if ~ corridor is determined to be viable for a subsequent evaluation after it passes a cut, that it has equal status with all other corridors which pass the cut. For example if a corridor ranks high enough to be eligible for the third cut evaluation, its numerical or relative rank in the second cut evaluation is of no consequence. All corridors being considered for the third cut evaluation are equally qualified. The benefit of the proposed evaluation procedure is that the group making the decision can consider both numerical and subjective factors. The data used in the procedure are only indications of how a given corridor selection would conform to the desired basic criteria.
