FIRST CUT CRITERIA The First Cut Criteria are used to define the corridors in relation to existing regional transit policies and travel sheds of movement. The criteria are: The corridor must serve both of the Metro Centers or one Metro Center and a Suburban Subregion. The travel shed of a corridor is the area of trip attraction to a route using minimum time paths to the CBD. The area is adjusted to reflect probable transit operations. Cm The travel shed of a. corridor may also be defined along a major travel desire line to the CBD. The corridor may not extend beyond the MUSA boundary and the will terminate at least three 'miles inside the MUSA'boundaryo Application of Criterion A above resulted in combining some of'the original corridors to represent the travel connection between a Metro- Center and a Suburban Subregion. - The corridors resulting from the first cut criteria evaluation are listed in Table 2 and shown on Figure 1. Table 2. First Cut Transit Corridors CBD Related Subregion Served Corrido~ Identification A. Mpls. 1 East B. " " " 11 Southeast C. " " " 3 South D. " " " 5 West/Southwest E. " " " 6 Northwest F.

" " " 1 1 West North/Northeast East/Southeast South/Southwest It is apparent in comparing Table I with Table 2 that the Minneapolis corridor labelled Southwest and the St. Paul corridors labelled North, Southeast, and Southwest were combined with other corridors and not deleted from further evaluation. Rather than eliminate corridors, the evaluation indicated that some of the originally identified corridors served the same Suburban Subregion and, therefore, were combined.
