Final Task I Vision Report
1.0 Introduction and Purpose
The purpose of this report is to summarize the findings of the analysis completed for the Silver Line
BRT Task I Visioning process and provide information to Interurban Transit Partnership (ITP) –
The Rapid and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to aid in moving the project forward into
the final design phase. The overall goal for the Task 1 Visioning was to take the design to a
programmatic/conceptual level in order to clarify the elements below which will define the nature
of the project that can be delivered for the budget:
BRT operations
specific station locations and BRT integration with general traffic on the streets
components of the station buildings and platforms including the level of quality of those
components
communications between the BRT, stations, traffic signals, ITP, and the cities
confirm there are no fatal flaws to integrate the BRT with the ‘built environment” (meet
ADA requirements at stations and crosswalks and meet roadway design requirements)
estimate the project cost
Deliverables to illustrate the above will include:
1. 3‐D visualization of the current VISSIM BRT operation analysis at several intersections to
illustrate the BRT operation integrated with general traffic and pedestrians.
2. Prototypical pavement marking plan to illustrate the station locations, lanes for BRT
operation, and changes to the existing general traffic operation.
3. Design Program report for Stations and Roadway and Conceptual Station illustrations of
prototypical stations with catalogue cuts for components (2 or 3 prototypes depending on
location; Central Business District or non‐Central Business District)
4. Communication report conceptualizing how the various components (Automatic Vehicle
Locator, emergency telephone, fare vending machines, Closed Circuit Television, and traffic
signals) will interface.
5. Roadway Concept Plans that meet design requirements integrated with existing.
6. Update FTA’s SCC Workbook for project cost estimates.
7. Written summary of the stakeholder involvement process.
Level of completion of technical work (engineering and architecture)
A. Architectural – Programmatic/Conceptual
B. Traffic and Communication Engineering – Programmatic/Conceptual
C. Roadway Engineering – 10% Level of completion
The Silver Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route runs through three cities; Grand Rapids, Wyoming,
and Kentwood and includes 33 proposed Silver Line BRT stations along a 9.6 mile route running
from the ITP central station to 60th Street on Division Avenue. Refer to Figure 3 on page 11 for
details. The overall vision for the Silver Line BRT is to provide a first class riding experience for
users that is noticeably quicker than regular bus services.

2.0 Summary of Silver Line Reference
Documents
2.1 Documents previously developed by ITP
The Task I Visioning of the Silver Line BRT utilized information previously developed in prior
stages of the project. The goal was to pick up the final visioning phase where previous studies left
off and prevent the need for rework. Several documents where provided to the team for
information;
Environmental Assessment
The Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Silver Line BRT was completed for The Rapid and FTA
in August 2010. This EA was prepared to disclose potential environmental effects and to provide
an opportunity for agency and public comments to identify mitigation measures that would address
impacts. The EA contains the results of the environmental analyses completed on this project.
Transportation Technical Report
The Transportation Technical Report was completed as part of the EA to document the detailed
analysis of the transportation conditions for the Silver Line Study corridor. The report was
completed in March 2010.
Operating Plan Detail
The Operating Plan Detail document was prepared to outline the proposed route of the BRT and the
high level details of how the system would operate and its interaction with other bus systems. The
document was developed at the request of the FTA and Project Management Office Certification
(PMOC), completed on January 9, 2009.
2.2 Documents Prepared by Wilbur Smith Associates for Task I
This team compiled some of the analysis into interim reports that are supplemental to the Task I
Vision Report as listed below;
Design Program – Stations
The purpose of this technical paper was to prepare a design guide, to be applied to developing
station concepts. It is located in Appendix F.
Roadway Program
The purpose of this technical paper was to identify the concept design program for roadway
improvements. This provided a guide for the team to follow when analyzing roadway and non‐
station needs associated with construction of each station. It is located in Appendix G.
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
The purpose of this technical paper was to summarize the existing bus, traffic, and communications
operations in the project area including;
Summarize the Silver Line BRT operation
Traffic and communication functions anticipated to be required for future operations
Task I Vision Report
Page 2
Silver Line BRT
Identify the quantity and cost of new infrastructure and/or equipment needed to be
included in the project to provide these functions
This report is located in Appendix H.
Cost Estimate Report
The purpose of this technical paper was to summarize the cost estimating process and to explain
the details of each component of the estimate as it relates to the BRT stations and systems. It is
located in Appendix I.
Survey
Base survey information was collected at each station location for topographies and utilities which
are displayed in Appendix E. It was important to begin analysis of each station and adjoining
roadway conditions based on accurate data. The survey provided coordinates and elevations for
point data at key features, such as curb lines, drainage structures, buildings, and all above ground
utilities within the vicinity of each station. The survey was done approximately 100 ft either side of
the proposed station locations.
Note that the survey does not include legal alignments, ROW, or section corner information.
REGIS Mapping
The Team worked with REGIS to obtain 2009 aerials of the Silver Line BRT corridor which were
incorporated into GIS mapping. The GIS data also included parcel lines which gave the team a high
level understanding of City right‐of‐way (ROW). It is important to note that the parcel lines shown
are not true ROW limits. The Aerial images are displayed in Appendix C.
Task I Vision Report

Silver Line BRT
3.0 Design Program for Stations and
Roadway
Design programs were compiled by the team for stations and roadway components to establish a
set of design criteria for detailed analysis. For full descriptions of the station and roadway
programs refer to two technical papers developed by the team, Design Program – Stations, and
Roadway Program as displayed in Appendix F and Appendix G.
The station program details the requirements for all components associated with the shelter and
station platform including the following:
Station passenger capacity
Furnishings inside the station shelter
Station shelter lighting
Furnishings and utilities on the station platform
Platform surface
Platform Lighting
Safety and security
Weather protection and roof drains
Station materials
Structural design
Platform height
Horizontal clearance
Platform slopes
ADA clearances
Minimum sidewalk widths
The roadway program details the design requirements and criteria for all components relating to
roadway and elements outside of the station platform including the following:
Design speed
Dedicated BRT lanes
Lane widths
Cross sections (number of lanes)
Horizontal alignment
ADA compliance
Horizontal and vertical clearance
The design criteria identified in each design program was used as a base to ensure that each station
and roadway element met local, state, and federal design standards, and that the functionality of the
Silver Line BRT met the anticipated needs of the system.

4.0 Stakeholder Meetings Summary
As part of the overall visioning process the team reached out to stakeholders within the project
area and the broader ITP service area in order to receive stakeholder input and communicate
project benefits. Meeting invite letters were prepared by the project team and then sent out to the
stakeholders by ITP staff. The overall approach was to review the BRT program and product with
stakeholders through a series of four meeting sets scheduled in advance to coincide with specific
project “Work Product” events.
Four meetings (conducted in either one or two day periods) were held for each meeting at locations
selected by ITP in the project service area. The purpose of the meetings was to present decisions
made at previous meetings, discuss how those decisions were folded into the project
concept/vision, and receive stakeholder input. The two locations for the meetings were Tommy
Brann’s on south Division Avenue, and The Rapid Central Station. The meeting topics were as
follow:
Meeting Set #1 – Overall BRT Route and BRT Operations, 3D VISSIM traffic model, Station
Program, and Station Locations.
Meeting Set #2 – Conduct Design Charrette centered around development of station
concepts.
Meeting Set #3 – Station Design Concept Development (presented to ITP staff, board and
municipal stakeholders).
Meeting Set #4 – Summary of design concept and overall process to stakeholders.
As part of Meeting Set #2 a 3D traffic simulation was developed using VISSIM to illustrate traffic
and bus operations at a couple of key intersections. Future peak traffic was utilized with
overpopulated buses and pedestrians to illustrate potential conflicts and operation issues under
future peak conditions. The analysis showed that the Silver Line BRT will not result in any
additional adverse congestion or conflicts due to the proposed project.
The following is a general summary of comments received regarding the overall development of the
BRT Stations.
General Shelter Structure Look & Feel
The shelters should be a visually distinctive design which is simple, functional and easy to maintain.
The shelter design should pick up on the ‘iconic’ look and feel already existing in Grand Rapids; in
the ‘Le Grande Vatesse’ and in the rooflines of DeVos Place and the Rapid Central Station. Shelters
shall provide all required operational components while blending in with their surroundings yet
still provide the branding and tall visual element to distinguish the shelter as a BRT station
Weather Protection & Maintenance Concerns
Provide ridership with protection from rain, wind and snow, salt/slush splash & icicles and
maintain clean stations year around. Discharge roof run‐off into the sewer system to avoid ice
forming on the sidewalks.
Task I Vision Report
Page 5
Silver Line BRT
Sustainability Practices & Energy
Take advantage of opportunities to incorporate ‘green’ design principals into the stations to keep in
concert with the Green Grand Rapids initiative.
Neighborhood Communication
Station design should incorporate individual links to neighborhood via design expression, event
announcement and/or artwork
Visual, Audio and Surface Accommodations
Shelters must be all inclusive in providing for riders needs using the latest audio and visual
technology equipment, materials and surfaces.
Advertisement & Naming Rights
Take advantage of any marketing or advertizing opportunities with which funds could be used for
station upkeep.
Bicycle Advocacy & Accommodation
Transit Vehicles and Stations as a leading part of the transportation network can and must
acknowledge the place of bicycles as a viable alternative to the car. Bike lanes, as part of the
‘Complete Streets” movement, are envisioned in the future. All forms of at‐the‐station bike
provisions should be available at appropriate station locations frequented by bicyclist. The plan to
allow riders to bring their bike on the transit vehicle was well received.
Meeting Summaries were prepared for all four meeting sets and are included in Appendix A.
Appendix A contains two lists of stakeholders and/or contacts. The first list was the original
stakeholder list that The Rapid used to notify stakeholders of upcoming meetings. The second list
was compiled from the original stakeholder list and all of those people that attended the meetings.

5.0 Station Concepts and Station
Components
Following Meeting Set 2 the consultant team commenced development of the initial station
concepts utilizing the information obtained from the stakeholder meetings along with input
provided by ITP staff at prior meetings. During the development of the station design concepts, the
consultant team held a series of meetings with ITP staff and city staff from Grand Rapids, Wyoming,
and Kentwood. The purpose for the meetings was to guide the station concept development
process and obtain valuable input in order for the team to create the proposed concepts as
accurately as possible. This iterative process allowed the team to get to a preferred concept much
quicker and efficiently and provided the opportunity for the city stakeholders to provide input very
early in the process. The series of meetings held with ITP and city officials are listed below. The
meeting minutes are located in Appendix A. Four draft concepts were prepared initially which
were presented to ITP staff for review and comment. One of these concepts was clearly favored by
ITP staff which was then refined into a more detailed concept. This concept was then brought back
to ITP for further review and comment.
October 20, 2010 ITP Staff
October 26, 2010 ITP Staff
October 27, 2010 ITP Staff and City Stakeholders
October 27, 2010 ITP Board Members and members of public
November 4, 2010 Wyoming and Kentwood City Staff
November 5, 2010 Grand Rapids City Staff
The final station concept shown in Figure 1 is a result of multiple meetings with stakeholders, ITP
staff, and consultant team members. The design reflects the identity of Grand Rapids and meets the
requirements as outlined in the Station Program. All of the concepts developed during this
conceptual development process are shown in Appendix B.

6.0 Bus Operations and Station Locations
The team assessed the operating needs of the Silver Line – BRT vehicles and the existing and
proposed systems needs. Specific station locations and dedicated lanes were analyzed and all are
discussed in detail in the Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report.
Each of these components is critical to ensuring the Silver Line BRT provides first class and
expedited service.
Dedicated bus lanes are essential to an expedited service and were recommended at every location
unless pavement widths negated additional lanage or if signal operations required shared lanes.
Maps prepared to illustrate dedicated lane locations are located in Appendix C and the back of
Appendix H. The dedicated bus lanes allow only for BRT and regular buses to access the lane. A
preliminary recommendation to provide shared lanes at some signals (Burton, 28th, 36th, 44th, and
54th) was made based on the EA traffic analysis and on field observations by the design team.
Further traffic analysis will be required in the design phase to validate these recommendations.
Each station was located based on the preliminary locations identified in the Environmental
Assessment (EA) and adjusted to comply with the design program for stations and roadways. The
team looked at optimizing locations to avoid conflicts with existing driveways and some stations
were relocated downstream of signals that were previously proposed upstream. This is to allow
Transit Signal Priority (TSP) to be affective (see Section 7.0). TSP provides an extended green time
for buses drive through a signal if it is close before the signal turns red. Several busy intersections
were proposed not to include TSP to prevent additional delay to general purpose traffic.
Figure 2 shows the proposed station locations including the changes made from the EA. A few
stations were shifted slightly to locate the station in a better location due to adjacent land use
and/or building locations, while others were relocated entirely to allow better operational
efficiencies for the proposed BRT system. At the south end of the project, it was determined only a
northbound station would be provided on the east side of Division Street just north of 60th Street.
Figure 3 shows the final station locations selected.
Each Silver Line BRT Station will require a set of operating hardware devices:
Off‐board fare collection
“Next Bus” signs and audio
Audio station announcements on the bus
Ticket vending machine
Emergency telephone with CCTV camera
Fare validation device
Smart card reader
Passenger information sign and kiosk

7.0 Existing Traffic Signals and
Modifications
The design team assessed each signal on the proposed Silver Line BRT route to ensure that Transit
Signal Priority (TSP) would be possible and to identify the type of signals utilized at each location.
OpticomTM is a communications device installed on each signal that allows vehicles installed with a
transmitting devise (On‐board Equipment) to alter the signal timings. Emergency vehicles use this
system to preempt a signal to turn green at any time when approaching. Silver Line BRT vehicles
will be installed with OpticomTM On‐board Equipment to allow signal prioritization which operates
similar to emergency vehicles TSP, only the difference being that the signal cannot be changed from
red, instead the green can be extended until the BRT vehicle clears the signal. Most existing signals
on the Silver Line route have OpticomTM installed with the exception of signals on Ransom which
will need to be installed as part of this project.
The OpticomTM system is currently operational and works great, however technology is moving
toward GPS based systems which would operate similarly to the existing system. If this system is
installed by each of the Cities then the Silver Line BRT would also need to upgrade the On‐board
equipment. At several intersections there are currently no countdown timers for pedestrian
crossings. The design team assumed that up to 50 percent of signals would need to be upgraded to
allow for safer pedestrian movements and to bring the crossings up to current design standards.
The design team feels comfortable that the Silver Line BRT will be able to function as desired with
the existing traffic signals and as new technology is introduced, modifications to On‐board
Equipment will enable the system to continue operating well.
8.0 Prototypical Pavement Marking
Plans
Pavement markings were preliminarily designed at each station location to illustrate how dedicated
BRT lanes will interact with general purpose lanes, and to highlight changes in intersection
operations such as dedicated bus lanes as displayed in Appendix D. The striping plans show
locations of dedicated bus lanes, non‐dedicated lanes and the lane transitions
between them. In addition the plans indicate the general condition of the
roadway pavement and any proposed improvements planned by each of the
cities, of Kentwood, Wyoming and Grand Rapids.
The design team determined that the existing roadway conditions can safely
accommodate the Silver Line BRT system with minor modifications to the
roadway using pavement markings and signage. The dedicated BRT lanes will
be denoted with a six‐inch dashed white line and preferential lane‐use
markings, as shown on the prototypical pavement marking plans. Roadside
signs will also denote the hours of operation of the dedicated BRT lanes.
The prototypical pavement marking plans will be designed in more detail Example of Buses
during the design phase of this project. Only roadside sign

9.0 Communication Features and
Interfaces
Functional requirements for communications of station components, BRT vehicles, and the central
office were identified as part of this study and are discussed in detail in the Bus Operations,
Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report.
Several key components of the communications system were analyzed as part of this project:
Technology / Topography ‐ Referred to as the “backbone” of the communications
system and is the node that carries information between the various devices.
Bandwidth ‐ Defines the capacity of a system
Availability ‐ Availability of the bandwidth
Scalability ‐ Account for future needs
Quality of Service
Security
Reliability and Maintainability
Resilience, Survivability and Redundancy
Equipment Housing, Environmental Control and Electrical Power
The communications devices needed for the Silver Line BRT are:
Emergency Telephone
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
Fare Validation
“Next Bus” Arrival Time Sign
Ticket Vending Machines
Smart Card Readers
Passenger Information Signs and Kiosk
The design team determined the communication needs required to allow the the Silver Line BRT
service to become operational and also provided a high level look at integrating the new service
with existing systems. It was identified that the existing Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) software
will need to be upgraded to allow the next bus information to display accurately. Also, the fiber
optic network, needed to carry information between the stations is currently incomplete.
Additional segments of fiber optic cable need to be added for the Silver Line BRT system to be fully
operational.

10.0 Station Platform Concept Layouts
Preliminary Engineering was performed at each station location to assess the potential impacts of
constructing station platforms, pads, and shelters. A set of detailed drawings of each station
platform are located in Appendix D.
The concept designs were based on surveyed topography and the REGIS mapping, and complied
with the design criteria as discussed in Section 3.0. The intent of the design effort for the Task I
Visioning was to determine whether station construction at each location was feasible and look at
potential construction issues associated with the platform, pad, and shelter. The following items
were analyzed at each station location:
Utility impacts based on survey data such as hydrants, power poles
Manholes
Grading of the station platform and ADA ramps
Impacted sidewalk construction
Station platform location and sizing
Transition curb to meet 14” elevated platform height
Concrete bus pad
Potential tree relocations
In conjunction with the station platform design, roadway concepts were designed by the team to
assure that each station location worked given constraints such as ROW, and physical constraints
(preliminary design plans displayed in Appendix D). The level of detail for the plans was enough
to complete the final visioning phase, to provide a level of comfort on constructability and high
potential construction costs prior to progressing to the final design phase.
Based on the station platform locations, the team designed each bus pad and affected items
surrounding each station as well as handicap accessible ramps to the elevated platform. The plans
show all areas of proposed construction and the relationship to existing roadway features and
ROW. The intent of this design was to avoid any ROW impacts and based on preliminary analysis
this was achieved.
Potential impacts to underground utilities are a significant concern for the local municipalities. At
this time, it is the intent to relocate existing utilities out from under the proposed stations, if
possible. Any utility information shown in the detailed drawings is only from above ground survey.

11.0 FTA’s SCC Workbook for Project Cost
Estimate
A detailed cost estimate was completed by the team based on the Task I visioning process design
for the BRT Silver line. For a full description of the estimate and methodology refer to the Cost
Estimate Report located in Appendix I.
The intent of the estimate was to provide a preliminary cost to provide information to ITP and FTA
confirming the project is within budget for a ‘very small starts’, and move the project forward to
final design and the construction phase.
As part of the estimate the team calculated detailed costs for each component of the design
including;
Stations
Roadway
Signal prioritization upgrades to some intersections
Communications devices
Operating equipment for buses and stations
Other cost items that were calculated during the EA phase were included in the estimate as place
holders without recalculation.
The detailed costs were summarized into the FTA cost estimating spreadsheet, which also
calculates the year of expenditure costs based on predicted inflation. The team assumed
construction would begin in 2012 for two years and the year of revenue operations would begin in
2014.
The total year of expenditure costs in 2010 dollars is $35.7 million.

Summary of Comments Received
Silver Line BRT
Stakeholder Engagement Meeting #1
Comment Summary
Location*
1. Central Station
- Grandville Avenue near the Central Station is being rebuilt in 2011. The city is to
decide if angle parking will remain or if it will be converted to parallel.
a. Northbound Station: The property owner has a development plan for this
area. The owner needs to be contacted to discuss the details (Greg
Gilmore.)
b. Southbound Station: Adjust the station location to avoid the loading dock.
4. Michigan Street
- Both stations on Michigan Street: Stations need to serve as transfer stations for routes
11 & 13. What time? Fare instrument? Weather protected?
- Potentially shift route east to service Lafayette/college.
5. Crescent Street
- Crescent Avenue at Bostwick : make Crescent Avenue three lanes at the « T » with
Bostwick ; Dedicated right and left turn lanes heading west on to Bostwick and a
through lane heading east on Crescent. The parking on the south side of Crescent
(across from the proposed westbound station) would have to be removed.
- Heavy left turns from Lyon on to Ransom during AM peak ; probably heading to
G.R.C.C. parking garage on the west side of Ransom between Fountain and Lyon.
Heavy left turns from Ransom in to G.R.C.C. parking garage during AM peak as well.
7. Jefferson Avenue/Wealthy Street
a. Southbound Station: ICCF would prefer the station be located on Lyon Street
across from the northbound station. This would mean a left turn from Lyon on
to southbound Division.
b. Potentially relocate both stations on Lyon further east, closer to Sheldon. This
would mean potential land acquisition and possible reevaluation of the EA.
- Why is there a station at 43rd and not 44th? 44th Street would be good for transfers
and easier for pedestrians to cross Division because 44th and Division is signalized.
- Park & Ride potential in the southeast quadrant of 54th and Division Avenue
intersection.
18. Division Avenue/60th Street
a. Northbound Station: Property owner thinks station would be better further
north, away from 60th Street.
**Other Comments**
- Disabled Considerations
o Braille Signage
o Accessible Signage
o Audio Messages
o Ticket vending must be ADA friendly
o ADA connection/transfers to other routes
- Need parking along route. Possibly lease from local businesses.
- Will pedestrian movements across Division be accommodated?
- Pedestrians crossing Division stops more access to signal crossings.
- Visibility/availability of public parking?
- Use accessible pedestrian traffic call signals with countdowns.
- Travel time concerns: Local bus = 1 hour vs. BRT = 34 minutes?

Welcome
Q: Why are you here?
A: Because we need your input!
• What is a Stakeholder?
o Anyone who has an investment, share, or interest in the project including property owners businesses, institutions,
and the general public served by the proposed BRT route.
• What is Stakeholder Engagement and why is it important?
o The process of engaging interested and affected parties in dialog to improve decision‐making and accountability of
the project development process.
o Stakeholder engagement is very important because it allows the project team to gather information regarding how
new BRT stations will look and how the system will operate.
• What do we expect from Stakeholders during these meetings?
o To provide input on desires, possible complications, areas of concern, ideas about station design, neighborhood
context, and overall thoughts about the project.
What is a BRT?
What are the benefits?
• Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a form of public transportation that uses buses
to provide faster, more efficient service than a typical bus line.
• Benefits of BRT include:
A faster commute – fewer bus stops, quicker loading/unloading,
signal priority
Increased ridership
Increased capital cost effectiveness
Increased employment opportunities
Enhanced transit supportive land development
Enhanced community cohesiveness
y
Enhanced economic development
Improved operating cost efficiency
Improved environmental goals such as with air quality

Stakeholder Invitation
September 1, 2010
The Rapid, in cooperation with the cities of Grand Rapids, Kentwood, and Wyoming and the
Federal Transit Administration, is continuing the process of conducting preliminary engineering,
architecture, and coordination for the proposed Silver Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in
downtown Grand Rapids and along south Division Avenue to 60th Street.
The Rapid is moving forward with this early design phase of the BRT in response to the
community outreach feedback received during the recent Transit Master Plan (TMP)
development. It was clear to us that the affected community wants to pursue the continued
evaluation of a BRT along Division Avenue. Additionally, we continue to receive the support of
the Federal Transit Administration for this phase of the proposed project.
You or your organization has been identified as a potential stakeholder in the BRT and,
accordingly, you are being invited to attend the project’s Meeting Set 2 – Design Charrette.
This meeting is intended to bring community members, professional architects and planners,
and decision-makers together to develop bus station concepts for the proposed Silver Line BRT
route.
The objective of this meeting is to present the BRT project goals, the Bus Station Design
Program, and existing information collected along with the advantages and disadvantages of
each station example. Stakeholders will be asked to identify and provide their likes and dislikes
of the station examples, identify opportunities for incorporating those preferences into the
project, and illustrate their preferences into a station vision. Based on input from the charette
participants, the station designers will then submit design options to The Rapid for their review,
consideration, and implementation as appropriate.
For those who attended the initial Meeting Set 1, held on August 11th and 12th, 2010 a one-page
project handout was provided that listed the charrettes as being held 8th and 9th, 2010 at The
Rapid’s Central Station and Tommy Brann’s restaurant. Due to adjustment in the project
development process, the dates of the charrettes have been changed to September 30th. There
will be two opportunities to attend, and stakeholders are invited to attend whichever time best
fits their schedule. The date, times, and locations of each meeting are listed below, and a
tentative meeting agenda is enclosed.
September 30, 2010 - 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM – Tommy Brann’s (4157 S. Division Ave.,
Wyoming). The focus for this workshop will be the Division Avenue corridor south of the
downtown Grand Rapids business district.
September 30, 2010 - 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM – The Rapid Central Station. The focus for this
workshop will be the downtown Grand Rapids business district.
If you are unable to attend either of the meetings, you may still submit your comments and
concerns to the Project Team at planning@ridetherapid.org or call the project hotline at
616.774.1298.
The proposed Silver Line BRT Project will provide enhanced transit access to downtown Grand
Rapids by providing reliable, frequent and speedy transit service along an approximately 10 mile
route that connects The Rapid’s Central Station in downtown Grand Rapids to 60th Street along
the Division Avenue corridor. The project will feature specialized stations with curbside level
boarding platforms, dedicated bus lanes for part of the route, and traffic signal priority for its
transit vehicles. While it will be important to maintain consistent “branding” among BRT stations,
the Rapid is looking for opportunities to include architectural features reflecting the
neighborhoods in which they reside.
We appreciate your involvement and look forward to meeting with you to discuss this very
important project.
Sincerely,
Taiwo Jaiyeoba

DESIGN CONCEPT MEETINGS
During the development of the station design concepts, the consultant team held a series of
meetings with ITP staff and city staff from Grand Rapids, Wyoming, and Kentwood. The
purpose for the meetings was to guide the station concept development process and obtain
valuable input in order for the team to create the proposed concepts as accurately as possible.
This iterative process allowed the team to get to a preferred concept much quicker and
efficiently and provided the opportunity for the city stakeholders to provide input very early in the
process. The series of meetings held with ITP and city officials are listed below. The meeting
minutes and the meeting registers are attached. The concepts developed during this process
are also attached.

The following represents our understanding of the key points of discussion at the meeting with The Rapid
and other members of Project Team. Isaac presented revised station design Concept “E” in order to
obtain comments from the Rapid staff in advance of the upcoming board meeting. In general, the concept
was well received and the Rapid staff likes the overall concept. The following comments were made with
regard to the concept.
Comments:
1) Will the concept fit within the right-of-way and will the leaning pillars have any effect on
right-of-way? The back edge of the pillar will have to be moved forward to keep the leaning
pillar out of adjacent properties.
2) How much space is needed for pedestrians to pass by the station? In the downtown area the
clearance requirement is 6 feet.
3) A little concern over the metal supports for the benches as the Rapid would like to see
something solid under the benches to prevent cold air from blowing around the feet of riders.
4) Make sure Silver Line logo on vertical pillar remains above roof line of station.
5) There was some discussion about the need for the shelter roof to extend over the bus at the
stop. The Team will modify this concept to show a roof at the appropriate height and
extension to illustrate the issue. Is not a big concern though.
6) The station needs to have “The Rapid” logo someplace on the shelter. It was suggested that it
be etched on the glass ends of the shelter.

ITP - The Rapid Silver Line BRT
7) The name of the station of needs to be added to the concept. For now, place it on the back
beam facing the street.
8) ITP will provide Isaac with the actual colors for the Silver Line so he can use them in the
concepts.
9) A concern was raised about making sure there was adequate space for riders to move around
in front of the benches as riders get onto the transit vehicle.
10) Some discussion occurred regarding the location of the cameras within the shelter. Could be
placed near the Next Bus sign, or in the brow of the shelter.
11) If the fare machine is located at one end of the shelter, is there a preference to which end it
should be located from a rider’s point of view?
12) Where are the opportunities to incorporate neighborhood context or local art?
13) Would like to see option with a clear glass roof instead of the green color.
14) Need to add in some curves to the design somewhere to link to the overall theme of the
“Rapid”. The roof line was discussed as a potential location.
15) Can heat bars be provided in the shelter for use during the winter?
16) No paint should appear on the pillars below approximately 5-6 feet due to wear and tear
(scratching). Make the pillars stainless steel up to at least this point.
17) Some discussion about using concrete for the pillars up to this point as well.
18) Need to incorporate bike racks on the platform.
19) Remove bench near fare machine. Only two benches should be needed.

The following represents our understanding of the key points of discussion at the meeting with The Rapid
and other members of Project Team.
Comments:
1) At 36th Street there is concern over the station blocking the vision of drivers pulling out of the
parking lot and onto Division.
2) Both Jay and Eric like the vertical element which has been integrated into the structure.
3) Suzanne would like to see the design details for the stations once they are prepared.
4) Chris asked about ADA regulations for ramps (i.e. are hand rails needed?)
5) Are truncated domes/precast cast iron a City standard?
6) Suzanne asked about lighting – 10 foot candles is standard – will they be flush mounted?
7) Tim asked about advertising opportunities
a. Suzanne will have to help with this due to local codes
b. Need to consider new technologies – LEDs, etc.
c. Naming rights are also an option
8) The “Next Bus” sign will have “Next 3 BRT Bus Arrivals” – what about cross-town routes?

9) Chris asked if The Team considered wireless? Ymax?
10) Suzanne discussed how meter boxes are graffiti magnets.
11) Meegan asked how snow removal will be handled.
12) Jay asked if there could be a canopy over the bus.
a. Chris stated it would have to be a 17’ high canopy minimum.
b. The higher the roof, the lower the weather protection it provides.
c. The roof needs to be 18” from the curb edge.
13) Suzanne wants her design team to go out to each station location to help site the shelters on
the platforms.
14) Tim asked about a snowmelt system (currently not in the budget.)
15) Tim asked about maintenance processes at each station and what ITP services will need to be
expanded.
16) Chris asked about management of the station information, communications, cameras, etc.
Will this be active?
17) Terry asked about the canopies having a wave feature
a. Roof glass
b. Seating (benches and glass)
c. Pavement
18) Underground utilities at each station location are a concern.

The following represents our understanding of the key points of the meeting with both the City of
Wyoming and Kentwood.
• Russ asked how many seconds will the green phase extend with the signal priority?
Concerned this may mess up other signal timing. Answer: this will not mess up overall
timing at signals as the signal will adjust the phase times to stay on the same overall timing
for that signal.
• The current Wyoming Opticom system is not maintained.
• Depth of platform question – 42” depth requirement for concrete platform.
• Snow plow equipment will need to be able to get under the canopy on the sidewalk – 10’
clearance needed
• Shelter roof edge needs to be 18” from back of curb (24” from face of curb).
• Utility relocation under the platform – who will be paying for that relocation? Utilities
should not be located under structures.
• Five feet of sidewalk clearance is required.

ITP - The Rapid Silver Line BRT
• How will platform drainage be handled?
• Can both cities provide the team with utility plan information? Carlos and Patrick are contact
persons. WSA will send them letters requesting information.
• Property line setback for canopy roof will be case by case if a building is adjacent; otherwise
okay to go to property line.
• Discussed curb drainage – integrated curb w/grate as potential solution.
• Question regarding shelter roof drainage – ice build-up, leaves, etc. Gravity may not be
enough.
• Will need to coordinate the construction schedule on Division with other projects scheduled
for the corridor.
• Who is responsible for station maintenance? A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is
being worked out between ITP and cities (Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Kentwood) to figure out
these issues.

ITP - The Rapid Silver Line BRT
• Will there be park-and-ride locations along corridor?
• The canopy needs to be 18” from back of curb (24” from face of curb)
• There is a possibility that a station could run into the location of a street light. Can the station
be modified to incorporate it? Moving a street light has been a challenge in the past.
However, the city is pretty inflexible on moving them. The city is only responsible for
Wealthy to 28th Street. BRT needs to work with independent cities.
• How close can the canopy be to the building face? Some of the buildings might have
canopies, lighting, etc. that could be affected by the bus station.
• How will the stations be powered? Stations will be powered by existing electrical services.
The stations will need fiber optic for communication.
• A cost analysis will need to be performed for an electric snow melt system. If there isn’t a
snow melt system for the stations, snow could be an issue and problem for riders.
• Dedicated lane issue: The city has a strong concern with regulation compliance. Minimizing
operating hours could be a solution. The city is currently looking into it. Eastbound
Michigan is fine, westbound Michigan should be shared.
• Burton Street NB should be dedicated, not shared as currently shown.
• 28th Street NB should be dedicated although there is a concern that the most congestion
occurs there. WSA followed what was in the EA.
• LOS D by movement NOT by intersection.

The following represents key comments and discussion from the meeting:
• Will fare machine and bike racks be at consistent locations at each station? Would like
consistency for ease of use. This has not been determined yet.
• Station looks more aesthetic when shorter. Worried about shelter being a barrier for adjacent
businesses.
• Likes idea that back of station is clear and sidewalk is open at rear.
• Have we considered a step at mid-point to allow access to the station? A: Can still be
considered.
• What happens to platform if station is reduced in size, can we keep raised platform (14”) to all
three doors of bus? A: Yes, optimal to allow access to all three doors even if station is
shorter.
• What consideration has been given to landscaping? A: Not much to date, but will engage
public more in design phase.
• Where is voice audio coming from at station and bus? A: Sound is at station and front door of
bus currently. Other door sound can be discussed.
• What intentions does Team/ITP have to work with local businesses to account for future
development? A: Some discussions have already occurred and more meetings will be held
during the subsequent design phase.

• Recommends reaching out to all businesses on upcoming development which may have an
effect on station locations.
• 43rd Street station didn’t have crossing signal/light, how has team addressed this? A: Still
unresolved – this is documented and will be addressed in next phase.
• Have we considered rain barrels? A: It has been considered, but not resolved at this time.
• Recommend working with the downtown alliance for maintenance responsibilities – may use
water for other things.
• Is solar power being considered? A: It has been considered, but not resolved at this time.
Comment 1 - What is the anticipated pedestrian capacity on the platform? And if a bus pulls up
and I’m in line to get the ticket, does the bus wait or do I have to wait for the next bus? A: Bus
will wait.
Comment 2 - The site planning for our Wealthy Jefferson Development initiative is on a fast track
right now. The first construction is likely going to commence in June. We would like very much
to incorporate in our site planning the presence of the BRT stations. It would be very good for our
planner to get together with you ASAP.
A visually impaired discussion was held after the meeting between the consultant team and The Rapid.
The following represents the key points of the discussion:
• Very important to locate fare machines in consistent locations for easy access

2.0 STATION CAPACITY
2.1 Station Shelters
2.1.1 Station Passenger Capacity
• Coaches have a 40 seat capacity
• Inbound coaches will board passengers uniformly over the ten stations from 60th and
Division to Franklin Street; about four passengers per station. Use six passengers
(standing and seated) as the capacity for the typical station.
• Outbound coaches will board passengers uniformly over the 5 stations from Fulton
Street to Fountain Street; about eight passengers per station. Use 10 passengers
(standing and seated) as the capacity for these five outbound stations in the CBD.

• Art (or something related to local context)
• Free-standing NEMA electrical panel with GFI outlet (assumed dimensions 36” high x
24” wide x 12” deep with 48”x48” clear space in front for maintenance.)
• Tree Plantings may be included on the platform
Hard impervious durable surface that allows for easy maintenance, snow removal and water drainage.
Examples include stamped concrete, scored concrete, pavers, etc.. Provide ADA tactile surface at the
curb.
Station Capacity

3.0 STATION BUILDING FEATURES
3.1 Safety and Security
• Station buildings shall not provide locations to hide people or packages.
• Stations are not to be enclosed
• The interiors of stations buildings must be clearly visible from the outside.
• Maximize use of transparent materials where possible.
• All station buildings must be designed to eliminate conditions where a person could be
contained
• Measures to prevent loitering (signage, bench design, etc)
In most cases it is expected that the canopy will be about 25 feet long to cover both doors of a 40 foot
coach and set back 24” from the face of curb to protect the boarding passengers from rain. The 25 foot
length may be reduced if site constraints do not permit. If the roof extends over the bus, the clear height
of the roof is to be 14’-6” above the pavement.
Incorporate large vertical feature at each location that allow stations to be visible up to 2 blocks away
Optimize the ability to manufacture the stations off-site.

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Silver Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) will provide a state of the art transit option for the greater
Grand Rapids area. The main route for the BRT includes the following roadways:
• Grandville Avenue – Central Station to Monroe
• Monroe Avenue – Weston to Michigan
• Michigan Street – Monroe to Bostwick
• Ransom Avenue – Crescent to Fulton
• Logan Avenue – Jefferson to Division
• Jefferson Avenue – Fulton to Logan
• Wealthy Street – Jefferson to Division
• Division Avenue – Wealthy to 60th
In preparation for the roadway design, this technical paper will identify the concept design
program for the roadway improvements associated with the Silver Line BRT. An initial review of
the existing roadways has been completed. Based on this review, initial design criteria have been
identified for the proposed work. It should be noted that, after station location and dedicated BRT
lanes have been finalized, more detailed information will be included.
As discussed in the environmental assessment, improvements to the existing roadways will
generally be spot improvements associated with the proposed stations. This will include
construction of concrete pavement with new curb and gutter in front of the stations to minimize
‘rutting’ from the stopping and starting of the proposed BRT. In addition, auxiliary/turning lanes
may be added at intermittent locations to accommodate the proposed BRT route. Finally, portions
of the route may be cold milled (i.e. top layer of asphalt removed) and resurfaced with asphalt to
improve overall ride quality. The cold milling depth will likely be 1.5 inches to 2 inches. This should
be deep enough to remove existing surface deterioration and wheel rutting.
In coordination with the layout of the proposed stations and dedicated BRT lanes, the pavement
markings and signing will be modified along the corridor. The markings and signing will delineate
lane assignments, parking, turn lanes, etc…
Exact locations for concrete pavement and cold milling and resurfacing will be determined once the
final station locations and dedicated BRT lane locations are set.
Introduction
11
2.0 Design Speed
The design speed for the roadways shall be typically designed at five miles‐per‐hour over the
posted speed limit. Posted speed may be used for portions of this project as this section of roadway
is a non‐freeway and non‐NHS (National Highway System) route. Existing posted speed limits and
appropriate design speeds are shown in the following table.

3.0 Dedicated BRT Lanes
In order to maximize efficiency of the Silver Line, dedicated BRT lanes will be provided wherever
possible. After the exact locations of the dedicated BRT lanes are determined, a summary table
identifying these areas will be listed. It is anticipated that dedicated BRT lanes will have an 11‐foot
width.
Dedicated BRT Lanes
31
4.0 Lane Widths
The existing roadway typically has 11‐foot to 12‐foot wide lanes. However, intermittent
auxiliary/turning lanes appear to be as narrow as 10‐foot. Proposed through lane widths will
typically be 11‐foot lanes as recommended in the AASHTO ‘Green Book’. Auxiliary lanes will also be
11‐feet wide, however, 10‐foot lanes will be considered where space is limited. As previously
mentioned, the dedicated BRT Lane will be a minimum of 11‐feet.

6.0 Horizontal Alignment
Since the roadway will not be reconstructed, the horizontal alignment will not be modified.
However, lane shifts may be required at certain locations to accommodate additional auxiliary/turn
lanes. Shown below is a table that shows distances required for a lane shift. After the final layout of
the stations and dedicated BRT lanes is determined, specific locations for lanes shifts will be
identified. Please note that the table assumes an 11‐foot shift distance (equal to one lane).

7.0 ADA Compliance
As mentioned in the Stations Design Program, all station areas will be ADA compliant. This will
include upgrading sidewalk ramps within the station influence area that are not compliant. These
modifications will include design of ADA compliant ramps with detectable warning strips. Each City
within the project area does not have unique ADA standards, instead they follow the Americans
with Disabilities Act Guidelines and the Michigan Department of Transportation Sidewalk
Guidelines (see Appendix).
ADA Compliance
71
8.0 Horizontal and Vertical Clearance
Horizontal clearance shall meet minimum offset distance as identified in the AASHTO ‘Green Book’.
For urban arterials, collectors and local streets, the offset to an obstruction can be as small as 18
inches (1.5 feet) from the face of curb. However, the preferred minimum would be 24 inches (2
feet). Where practical, additional offset distance should be provided.
Vertical clearance shall meet minimum underclearance requirements identified in the Michigan
Bridge Design Manual. For arterials, collectors and local roads, the minimum vertical clearance is
14’‐6”. However, the preferred minimum would be 14’‐9”. This allows the 14’‐6” mimimum to be
maintained if a 3 inch asphalt overlay takes place in the future.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The Silver Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route, as defined in the Environmental Assessment (EA)
report prepared in 2010, runs through three cities; Grand Rapids, Wyoming, and Kentwood and
includes 33 proposed Silver Line BRT stations along a 9.6 mile route.
The purpose of this technical paper is to summarize the existing bus, traffic, and communication
operations in the project area; summarize the Silver Line BRT operation, traffic and communication
functions anticipated to be required for future operations; and identify the quantity and cost of new
infrastructure and/or equipment needed to be included in the project to provide these functions.
To identify existing conditions the study team met with representatives from each of the three
cities, and the Interurban Transit Partnership (ITP) – The Rapid, to discuss, existing and proposed
bus operations, existing signal operations, and communication infrastructure. The meeting notes
are attached in Appendix A.
2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
2.1 Existing Bus Operations
Several existing bus routes operate in the area of the proposed Silver Line BRT. These routes will
continue their current operations after the Silver Line is operational: Route # 1 along Division from
60th to Wealthy, Route #3 overlaps for a short section on Jefferson, Route #11 overlaps from The
Rapid station downtown until the BRT route turns from Michigan onto Bostwick. The existing bus
routes are included in Appendix B. Other bus routes have minor interaction with the BRT route
such as route #4, #12, #13, #14, #15.
There are no dedicated lanes for buses on any existing routes located along the proposed
Silver Line BRT route.
The current equipment and software is developed by AVL Technologies in Colorado and the
stop annunciators are from McKenzie Corporation. The current system appears to have
some existing issues with the functioning of their Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) System.
The reporting features are not yet meeting their expectations.
The “next bus” sign currently gives a scheduled time which is not linked to actual bus
arrivals
Currently using Odyssey GFI Genfare fare boxes which have smart capabilities but have not
been implemented or utilized. They were installed in 2003 – 2004.
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 1
It is anticipated that the AVL system shortcomings will be corrected to support BRT operations and
provide real time bus information for variable message signs.
2.2 Existing Traffic Signals
An assessment was made in determining the type of equipment that is available in the field to
provide Transit Signal Priority (TSP). Existing traffic signal information for the 28 signals on the
proposed Silver Line BRT route was collected from each of the three cities within the project limits
and is summarized in Table 2.1. The information will be used to design the proposed BRT system
to be compatible with existing systems.
Based on information from engineering staff at the cities of Grand Rapids, Wyoming, and Kentwood,
all intersections are equipped with Eagle EPAC signal controllers. These controllers are capable of
providing TSP. In addition, it was also found that the majority of the signalized intersections
already have OpticomTM detection systems installed for Emergency Vehicle Preemption. This same
detection equipment can be used to detect transit vehicles to provide TSP. The OpticomTM system
will allow the BRT buses to have signal prioritization where applicable.

2.3 Existing Communications Infrastructure
Existing fiber optic cable is available between Central Station and 28th Street. There are plans for
extending the fiber optic cable along Division south of 28th Street but that work is not anticipated
until after the Silver Line BRT is intended to be operational.
Leased facilities are available in the project area at a monthly lease cost of approximately $10,000
per month.
3.0 COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
3.1 Introduction
It is difficult at times to draw the boundary between a communications system and its user systems
or clients. As an example, Internet browser software on a computer performs critical
communications tasks, but would be considered a user system and not part of a communications
system. The term Communications System will be used herein to describe the basic
communications transmission system that will serve the proposed Silver Line BRT. The
Communications System will host several sub‐networks that serve specific client systems.
In addition to the client systems already planned for the proposed Silver Line BRT, likely future
uses and demand for communications can be anticipated by examining other transit agencies. It is
important for a communications system to be equipped to respond to evolving demands for
different types of services. Typical types and quantities of services demanded have grown
dramatically in recent times and have moved from the fixed dedicated bandwidth of time division
multiplex (TDM) to shared resources using network‐based technologies.
To address the requirements of the Communications System there are several system attributes to
be considered:
Technology / Topography
Bandwidth
Availability
Scalability
Quality of Service
Security
Reliability and Maintainability
Resilience, Survivability and Redundancy
Equipment Housing, Environmental Control and Electrical Power
3.2 Technology / Topography
The backbone is the portion of the communications network that carries the bulk of information.
Ideally the backbone must extend over the entire territory and will serve all of the communications
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 3
based applications. Any application should be able to connect to any backbone node and be able to
communicate with all other application elements connected to other nodes as required. The
technology used to form the backbone as well as the topology, or shape of the backbone will
determine many of the other attributes of the system. Technology and topology are closely related
in that certain technologies are designed to function in a certain type of topology. Geography and
other physical limitations of a system will determine the available topology choices.
Fiber Optic: In a fiber optic based backbone, fiber optic cable is installed over the entire length of
the area served. At each location to be served, some or all of the fibers in the cable are terminated in
a distribution panel. With fiber optic cable comprising the physical layer, it is also necessary to
provide transmission equipment to serve applications that are not equipped for optical
transmission. The two main technologies provided by fiber‐based transmission equipment are
Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) and Ethernet. Multi‐service platforms (MSPs) provide both
technologies, supporting both traditional Time Division Multiplex (TDM) interconnections as well
as Ethernet capabilities.
Microwave: There is considerable use of licensed and unlicensed microwave data communication
technology on commuter rail and transit properties in the United States. Line‐of‐sight is required
between nodes. This often requires the use of high towers.
Leased Facilities: There are multiple technologies available as leased services such as: frame relay,
Multi‐protocol Label Switching (MPLS), point‐to‐point TDM, and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL). It is
also possible to lease individual voice or serial data circuits. Leased services can be either
conventional hard‐wired lease lines, or wireless leased circuits. Initial capital outlay for this
alternative is relatively low, consisting only of the initial installation costs for the service and the
required interface equipment. The ongoing maintenance cost varies with attributes such as
bandwidth. It should be noted, that in the aftermath of both September 11, 2001 and Hurricane
Katrina, many telecommunications experts concluded that mission critical applications, in
particular applications that involve public safety, should not rely entirely on communications
networks based on leased services.
Wireless Local Area Networking: Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) have become
commonplace since the ratification of the first IEEE 802.11 standard in 1996. Now known as WiFi,
this standard continues to improve as its popularity continues. These networks permit un‐tethered
access to the Internet and corporate files in support of data, voice, and video applications. Their
implementation ranges from simple residential installations to complex meshed urban and even
statewide networks.
Wireless Mesh: This approach places wireless network nodes usually mounted on poles at a
distance of approximately seven‐tenths of a mile apart along the territory to be served. Each node
covers an area with WiFi signal. Each Node passes information on to its neighbor, relaying
information to a point where the mesh accesses a central center or high‐speed network. This
approach provides scalability since a new site can be added relatively easily at any time in nearly
any location. The overall bandwidth provided is the lowest of the alternatives considered. The
alternative also requires user system interfaces to be WiFi.
WiMAX: WiMAX is a next generation technology that improves upon WiFi. This new technology is a
dual‐use technology that supports 4th generation cellular data service from providers such as
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 4
Clearwire and Sprint/Nextel as well as customer‐owned wireless networks that have much larger
coverage areas than the localized coverage typically provided by a WiFi access point.
Cellular Data Services: The cellular data services industry continues to progress the performance
levels of their networks. The use of this technology is considered a viable alternative to building
completely new wireless networks in support of wide‐area data or voice applications.
Free Space Optics: Free Space Optics (FSO) uses light propagating in free space to transmit data
between two points. FSO is often used in locations where physical connection is difficult, such as in
cities where installing fiber optic cables is expensive or impossible. FSO products range from 0.5 to
2 kilometers in distance and from 25 Mbps to 1.25 Gbps in bandwidth capacity. Advantages include
fast installation times, no license requirements, high degree of security, and lower installation and
maintenance costs than that of a fiber based system. The main disadvantage is susceptibility to
weather conditions and physical obstructions.
3.3 Bandwidth
Bandwidth, or digital data rate expressed in bits per second, is a critical requirement of a
communications system. It defines the size or capacity of the system. Application bandwidth
requirements are prime considerations in network planning. Bandwidth requirement estimates
and forecasts are by nature complex. In a time‐division multiplexing (TDM) based network each
user component is assigned a dedicated channel with an assigned bandwidth. As an example, a
telephone is generally assigned a 64 kbps channel. This bandwidth is dedicated to the telephone
whether or not the phone is in use. In a packet‐based network environment, the packets containing
the audio signal from the telephone are mixed or alternated with packets from other applications.
Estimating and forecasting the bandwidth requirements of a communications system carrying
packet‐based traffic generated by many different types of applications is more complex. The
complexity increases with the disparity of the transported traffic. Packet‐based networks are able
to retransmit packets that are blocked, allowing the information to be transmitted, but introducing
latency. The degree of latency that is tolerable is dependent upon the application, introducing
additional complexity in predicting required bandwidth.
3.4 Availability
One of the factors in bandwidth requirement calculations is the principle of system availability. In a
system with high availability, portions of the network will not be denied full functionality due to
other portions of the network with less bandwidth. Access to the full system bandwidth is available
wherever necessary, with a minimum of wiring and/or administrative changes. Generally this
quality requires a high‐bandwidth communications backbone. As much of the system bandwidth as
possible is available for use by applications. Unnecessary redundancy, mirroring or carrying
information other than that required for resilience is avoided.
The term availability is often used in another sense, i.e. the proportion of time a system is in a
functioning condition. For purposes of clarity, the term availability will not be used in that sense in
this report.
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 5
3.5 Scalability
A sound basis for meeting the needs of the future is to plan an architecture that is scalable and
modular, so that as demands increase, new building blocks can be added to accommodate the
increased needs. Often, a scalable and modular system is more costly initially than a fixed system,
requiring extra components that will permit future expansion, but will provide a positive return on
investment against the increased initial capital costs when the inevitable demands upon the
communications systems are made on an unpredictable schedule.
The communications marketplace will respond to the needs of the large carrier and telephone
companies. Therefore, one key to a successful strategy is to keep current with and follow the
strategies and technological trends of the communications marketplace, and in particular, the
marketplace for large carriers and telephone companies.
The architectures found in the marketplace are based upon meeting changing customer demands,
leveraging capital investments and building networks that can evolve based upon scalable building
blocks. A prime example is the manner in which major telephone companies have evolved their
Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) plant. The carriers have found that their customers
demand the reliability associated with SONET standards regardless of the end service they need. In
particular, customers demand the 50‐msec automatic protection switching and the resiliency
associated with ring‐based networks. These levels of reliability and resiliency are based upon well‐
defined and well‐known industry standards. Newer services often rely on the SONET layer to
overcome their shortcomings in reliability and resiliency. Widely deployed and well understood,
the use of SONET by major carriers will continue in the near term.
Initially deployed as TDM architecture, the core SONET systems deployed by the telephone
companies have evolved to support cell based technologies (ATM, Frame Relay, IP Ethernet) and
more recently to Wave Division Multiplex (WDM) and Multi‐protocol Label Switching (MPLS).
These technologies are built upon the foundations established in earlier years, but have continued
to evolve using incremental building blocks to meet increased demand for newer services, in most
cases by moving traffic from dedicated TDM services to IP based shared resources, such as Ethernet
and MPLS.
A scalable and flexible communications system is one where network capacity may be changed in
response to changes in demand, without significant redesign or abandonment of existing resources.
The network may be extended to serve new geographic locations by installing additional elements
of the same type used in the existing network. This requires standardization of system elements.
3.6 Quality of Service
Time‐division multiplexing (TDM) communications systems dedicate bandwidth for each circuit or
channel allocated. By doing so, maximum quality of service is delivered for every circuit. The price
that is paid is in efficiency, because bandwidth is used for idle circuits. Packet‐based systems
deliver a higher rate of efficiency by only sending packets when required, however there may be
times when the demand for bandwidth exceeds capacity, delaying packets or causing them to be
retransmitted or discarded.
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 6
In networking, Quality of Service (QoS) refers to resource reservation control mechanisms rather
than service quality. The QoS mechanism provides different priority levels to guarantee a certain
level of performance to an application. This can be important to delay sensitive real‐time streaming
multimedia applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and video. QoS mechanisms are not required
when there is no network congestion.
Several network communications protocols provide QoS mechanisms, including frame relay, ATM
and MPLS. QoS generally functions at higher Open System Interconnection (OSI) layers than those
provided by a communications system, however it is important that physical and transport systems
do not preclude the desired QoS mechanism.
3.7 Security
Many applications have built in security measures, such as the Payment Card Industry (PCI)
protocol used by most Ticket Vending Machine (TVM) Systems. Once the critical information is
encrypted, it may be transmitted over the Internet or the public switched telephone network.
Other applications rely on the communications transmission system being secure. There is
inherent degree of insecurity whenever wireless transport is used. This may be mitigated through
the use of encryption or other security measures.
3.8 Reliability and Maintainability
For a well operating, functional system that is meeting needs, age alone is not necessarily a
requirement for replacement or upgrade. However when new functions are required that the
current system cannot supply, or the age of a device in a rapidly changing marketplace results in
loss of support and replacement parts from the vendor community, then consideration must be
given to the risk of continuing with a system that does not meet needs or cannot be maintained.
Applications have varying degrees of tolerance to reliability. A brief communications failure may
have a small effect to a passenger information system, only delaying the arrival of new information.
However, a brief communications failure could more drastically affect safety or control
applications.
A state of good repair of the current systems is mandatory, irrespective of whether a system is kept
in service as is, or migrated to a newer platform or system. A state of good repair is not achieved
only by performing routine maintenance and repair. In some instances it requires immediate
replacement of aged components. In other cases, maintaining a state of good repair requires
periodic updates of software, often on a quarterly or even monthly basis. Manufacturers of
equipment typically will not support customers during routine or emergency diagnostics or repair
unless the latest version of software has been deployed.
Deployment of remote diagnostics to complement the new systems will enhance current
maintenance practices by reporting the precise nature of any technical issue before technicians are
deployed. Remote diagnostics and improved network management may allow re‐routing of
disrupted services to alternate channels until normal business hours, thus avoiding unnecessary
overtime costs.
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 7
It is important to maintain a periodic replacement cycle of Communications System components
that acknowledges limits on capital budgets and service life expectations for current systems
deployed in phases over the years. These cycles are based upon deployed systems in‐service dates
and geographies. It is important to note that communications systems, and for that matter any
microprocessor or software based system, now faces accelerated replacement cycles compared
with older technologies, and it is highly probable that communications and signal systems may each
exhibit significantly different replacement cycles based upon their respective technologies.
3.9 Resilience, Survivability and Redundancy
In a resilient communications system, as much of the network as possible will continue to function
in the event of localized events or failures, such as cable cuts or equipment failures. For true
resilience, the alternate communications paths must be constantly and automatically tested to
assure they are functioning and may be depended upon in the event of a failure.
In a survivable communications system the network is able to maintain or restore an acceptable
level of performance after a catastrophic network failure by applying various preventative and
restoration techniques. This requires having restoration plans in place and the resources available
to implement the plans.
Redundancy is closely tied to these requirements for resilience and survivability. Having multiple
communications paths that are constantly and automatically verified is necessary for the backbone
system. Traditionally, network infrastructures have been designed for single failure redundancy.
This, for instance, is the basis of a SONET ring infrastructure. The ring provides two paths around a
failure.
3.10 Equipment Housing, Environmental Control and Electrical
Power
It is important to provide space and environmental controls for existing and future communications
equipment. For availability, resilience and survivability it is essential that each location type have a
standardized electrical power treatment. This includes lightning protection, surge protection and
UPS or other means for providing power during a commercial power failure.

4.0 BRT FUNCTION REQUIREMENTS
4.1 BRT Operations
4.1.1 Introduction
The proposed Silver Line BRT system will need to integrate with the existing Automatic Vehicle
Location (AVL) system and other systems currently utilized by ITP.
The following represents a list of requirements for the proposed operating system that should
allow the riders of the BRT system to seamlessly transfer from the Silver Line BRT to other routes
and operate seamlessly with the existing ITP systems.
4.1.2 BRT Operations Overview
Improved operating times of the BRT are dependent on Dedicated Lanes, Station Locations and
Transit Signal Priority (TSP), and Off‐Board Fare Collection. Two other amenities to make the BRT
a first‐class service is to provide passengers with a “Next Bus” Display and Level Boarding. The
“Next Bus” Display will be driven by information collected from ITP’s existing AVL system.
The Level Boarding will set the platform 14 inches above the top of pavement. This platform height
will require that the vehicles are equipped with precision docking devices. Platforms that provide
service to both BRT and local buses will be set at 10 inches above the top of pavement.
4.1.3 Dedicated Lanes
The BRT vehicles would run in the existing travel lanes closest to the curb in each direction
with 10‐minute headways in peak hours and 15‐minute headways in off‐peak hours. During
peak hours, portions of the bus travel lanes would be exclusively for transit use. Only
right‐turn general traffic at intersections or the various driveways along Division Avenue
would be allowed to utilize this lane in the immediate area of their turn. Outside of peak
hours, the transit vehicles would travel in mixed traffic. See Appendix C for locations of the
dedicated lanes along the BRT corridor.
The following locations are where it is recommended that the BRT travel lane be shared
with northbound general through traffic to increase northbound throughput along Division
Avenue. The travel lane restriction could be lifted a relatively short distance in advance of
the intersection, and then put back in place a short distance downstream from the
intersection.
o Burton Street and Division Avenue
o 28th Street and Division Avenue
o 36th Street and Division Avenue
The following locations are where it is recommended that the BRT travel lane be shared
with northbound and southbound general through traffic to increase throughput along
Division Avenue. The travel lane restriction could be lifted a relatively short distance in
advance of the intersection, and then be put back in place a short distance downstream
from the intersection.
o 44th Street and Division Avenue
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 9
o 54th Street and Division Avenue
The BRT vehicle is allowed, traffic permitting, to leave the dedicated lane to pass local buses
or vehicles making right turns.
4.1.4 Station Locations and Transit Signal Priority
The benefit of TSP is dependent on the stations being located on the far side of the intersections.
Unfortunately, the EA located some stations where they cannot benefit from TSP. As a result, some
stations have been relocated and are shown in Appendix C.
Other technical aspects of TSP are developed in Section 4.2 Traffic Operations of this report.
4.1.5 OffBoard Fare Collection
Smart Card Readers are desirable but may be too expensive; however, the existing Odyssey
GFI Genfare fare boxes have smart capabilities which has not been implemented or utilized
to date. They were installed in 2003‐2004.
Ticket Vendor Machines ‐ Pre‐paid boarding is a desired attribute for the Silver Line BRT
service as a feature to reduce dwell time at stations.
Random fare verification and the honor system currently used have been effective at
safeguarding against fare payment avoidance. It is expected they will be just as effective in
the proposed BRT system.
The consultant team will make a recommendation on the fare system and technology during final
design. The recommended system must be fully ADA compliant.
4.1.6 “Next Bus” Display
The proposed “next bus” system should include audio for persons with disabilities.
User’s should be able to easily differentiate between the BRT system and the regular fixed
route system.
BRT needs to be integrated into the existing AVL system to support the “Next Bus” display.
4.1.7 3D VISSIM Simulations
Three intersections, as illustrated in Figures 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, were selected to simulate the traffic
operations:
Michigan and Bostwick (Transit turning , dedicated east bound transit, mixed use
westbound)
Franklin and Division (Dedicated transit in both directions)
36th and Division (Dedicated southbound transit and mixed use north bound)
The simulation includes traffic volumes based on 2035 projections except that transit and
pedestrian traffic was significantly increased to visually confirm that these modes would not reduce
the LOS.
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 10
The simulation demonstrated that:
Pedestrians had adequate time to cross the street safely
Bus Operations did not adversely impact the intersection LOS
Mixed traffic turning movements were accommodated even with the dedicated transit lanes
A CD of the AVI (movie clip) files is included as Appendix D.

4.2.1 Intersections To Have Transit Signal Priority
The Silver Line Rapid Transit System EA document, proposed to provide Transit Signal Priority
(TSP) at all of the signalized intersections along the proposed Silver Line BRT route except the
following:
Division Avenue and Burton Street
Division Avenue and 28th Street
Division Avenue and 44th Street
4.2.2 Transit Signal Priority Functional Devices
The TSP system provides specialized treatment of transit vehicles at signalized intersections and
requires four basic functional devices:
A mechanism to communicate transit vehicle arrival to the signal controller (On‐Board
Equipment),
A mechanism to detect the transit vehicle presence (Roadside Equipment),
A mechanism to communicate/execute the TSP logic to the controller (Signal Controller
Interface Unit), and
A mechanism to monitor the TSP system performance (Remote Data management System).
Figure 4.4 describes the basic functional components of the TSP system. The On‐Board Equipment
(OBE) emits a signal to the Road‐side Equipment (RSE). The RSE detects the transit vehicle and
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 12
transmits the information to a Signal Controller Interface Unit (SCUI). The SCUI responds with the
appropriate signal timing. The TSP system performance is monitored by Remote‐Data
Management System (RDMS).

Figure 4.4 Functional Components of TSP
In so far as the on‐board and roadside equipment must be compatible these are generally
purchased as a package Detection System from a single vendor.
4.2.3 Detection System
OnBoard Equipment (OBE): OBE is a device that is mounted on the transit vehicle and is
continuously emitting the signal conveying the presence of the transit vehicle. It is the intent of the
ITP that TSP is required only for Silver Line BRT vehicles.
Typically, the on‐board equipment is mounted on the roof of the transit vehicles or inside the
transit vehicle on the dashboard or the electronic number plate housing. OpticomTM emitters are
typically mounted on the roof of the transit vehicle for better line‐of‐sight to communicate with
OpticomTM detectors at the signals. The on‐board equipment derives power from the vehicle power
source and can be automated with the vehicle ignition process. Activation of the signal can be
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 13
linked to the door opening or closing. In the case of near‐side stops or when the transit vehicle is
stopped and its doors are open; TSP request to the signal should be stopped.
Roadside Equipment (RSE): RSE is a device that can detect the signal emitted by the OBE; detecting
the presence of the transit vehicle. In some TSP technologies, the detectors are installed in the
roadway pavement or on the curbside at an advanced distance from the intersection.
The existing Detection System is OpticomTM equipment mounted on the signal mast arm or span
wire is hardwired to the SCIU that is secured within the local signal controller cabinet and is
currently being used for Emergency Vehicle Preemption. The same equipment can be used for TSP
for the proposed Silver Line BRT. The RSE detects the presence of the transit vehicle and conveys
the presence signal to the SCIU to execute the TSP logic.
The choice of strategies, technology, and the existing hardware in the field determine or dictate the
functional requirements for TSP system components. Given the presence of the existing 3M
OpticomTM system in the field, it is recommended to utilize existing field equipment for TSP
purposes and add necessary components to the Silver Line BRT vehicles. New RSE’s would be
provided at intersections that do not have existing OpticomTM equipment.
The 3M OpticomTM components consist of an OBE that is an infrared strobe emitter, an RSE that is
an infrared detector directionally mounted at intersections, and an interface to the signal controller.
The emitter sends a cone of infrared and visible strobe light in the forward direction.
Within the strobe’s flashing pattern and frequency is a coded message consisting of the vehicle
identification number. At each intersection approach for which priority is desired, 3M OpticomTM
detectors are mounted facing approaching traffic. Figure 4.5 shows the 3M OpticomTM TSP
system’s vehicle on‐board and intersection‐mounted components. OpticomTM supports two or four
channels, providing detection capability on two or four approaches respectively. The detectors are
connected by wire to the OpticomTM phase selector card installed in the signal controller cabinet.
The phase selector (and card rack for some controllers) provides the interface between the
detectors and the preemption inputs of the signal controller. This interface provides authentication
and authorization of priority phases using predefined logic and acts through standard controller
functions. In addition, the phase selector supports user classification and operating priorities for
vehicle types overriding other vehicle types. The 3M OpticomTM system is able to communicate
with both centralized and closed loop systems.
Figure 4.5 3M OpticomTM – Emitter and Detector
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 14
4.2.4 Signal Controller Interface Unit (SCIU)
The SCIU is the most important and complex component of any TSP system. The SCIU’s
responsibility is to ensure that the detected vehicle is authorized to get TSP, determine if the
detected vehicle is a transit vehicle or an emergency vehicle, and execute the TSP logic to send the
appropriate signal timing plans to the signal controller. The SCIU is typically an interface card that
communicates with the traffic signal controller at the local intersection level. Depending on the TSP
strategy selection, the SCIU ensures that predefined TSP logic is deployed seamlessly and the
controller can return to the normal operations once the detected vehicle is served.
The physical composition and the functional requirements of the SCIU are different and unique for
each type of controller owing to the controller design and communications requirements.
Sometimes, the SCIU design can be extremely complicated to ensure the performance of different
types of TSP strategies. The SCIU functional requirements often provide limitations on or dictate
which TSP strategies can be deployed in the field. However, based on the existing conditions data,
all intersections along the proposed Silver Line BRT route are equipped with Eagle EPAC signal
controllers. These controllers are capable of providing TSP and can communicate with the
OpticomTM system.
The Final EA document recommended Early Green and Green Extensions as part of the TSP. This
active priority strategy can give an early green signal or hold a green signal that is already being
displayed allowing free passage of the authorized vehicle.
4.2.5 Remote Data Management System (RDMS)
RDMS is a data management system that enables the transit as well as traffic engineers and
planners to monitor the performance of the TSP system.
The RDMS system can be a single location system or a web‐based system accessible to all the
stakeholders interested in monitoring the performance of the TSP system.
Currently, the City of Grand Rapids has the central control system and uses ACTRA®. Except for
Division Avenue and 32nd Street intersection, all intersections communicate with the system.
ACTRA® is capable of generating reports on TSP activations. It can generate reports by intersection
and by vehicle identification number (ID). Each OpticomTM emitter which is mounted on the transit
vehicles would have a unique ID. This information can be reviewed by city traffic staff and the
Interurban Transit Partnership (ITP) to refine the Early Green and Green Extension times based on
the delays to the general traffic and to BRT vehicles.
4.2.6 Traffic Signal Heads
It is anticipated to use all of the existing traffic signal heads. If new traffic signal heads are required
they will be the standard (red, amber, green) signal in a yellow enclosure. In so far as the transit
lanes are dedicated only during peak periods it is not appropriate to use special transit signal
heads.
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report

4.3 Silver Line BRT Communications Requirements
4.3.1 Communication Systems
To plan a communications system it is necessary to consider the requirements of the various user
systems or clients, both those currently planned and those that may be added in the future. The
following Communications System clients are planned for the proposed Silver Line BRT; now or in
the future:
Emergency Telephone
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
Fare Validation
“Next Bus” Arrival Time Sign
Ticket Vending Machines
Smart Card Readers
Passenger Information Signs and Kiosk
4.3.2 Emergency Telephone
Emergency telephone service is planned for each platform at every station. At this time the most
likely arrangement for the emergency phones is a free standing stanchion. Stanchions clearly
indicate the presence of an emergency phone to patrons through color, graphics and by displaying
the standard blue light.
4.3.3 CCTV
Emergency telephone stanchions also provide convenient mounting locations for CCTV cameras.
Two cameras are planned for each stanchion. The first is a fixed camera that will capture the image
of an emergency phone user. The second is a pan‐tilt‐zoom dome camera that is mounted on an
extension pole above the stanchion. This camera will provide surveillance capability of the entire
platform area.
4.3.4 Connectivity
Each of the user applications will require connectivity to a central facility. Communications
between stations will be minimal. Table 4.1 depicts the expected connectivity requirement for
each of the applications.

It is assumed that each of these central facilities will be located at the Central Station location.
However, the Communications System must be capable of providing connectivity to other locations
if required.
4.3.5 Bandwidth
In approximating the bandwidth requirements for the Communications System a reasonable value
for each application at each location has been estimated. It is assumed that every station on the
Silver Line BRT will have the same user applications. The bandwidths are then added to obtain a
maximum value that would apply to all applications at all locations transmitting information. The
bandwidth needs for the planned and future applications are summarized in Table 4.2.
Table 4.2 Approximate Bandwidth Requirements
Application Approximate Bandwidth
Requirement
Emergency Telephone 128 kbps
CCTV 25 Mbps
Fare Validation 128 kbps
“Next Bus” Arrival 1.5 Mbps
Ticket Vending 1.5 Mbps
Smart Card Readers 1.5 Mbps
Passenger Information 256 kbps
Total 30 Mbps
Note that CCTV is particularly bandwidth intensive. The bandwidth required at each station for
CCTV depends on numerous factors. Key factors are listed, showing the assumptions made for a
Silver Line BRT station:
Number of Cameras – Two for each of the 33 directional stations
Frames Per Second – 15
Type of Cameras – IP
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 17
Resolution – 640 x 480
Video Format – Mjpeg
Live Viewing – Yes
Recording Method – Network Storage at Central Location
A key factor in the bandwidth stated for CCTV is the use of networked storage. Networked storage
eliminates the need for a local recorder or storage device, but requires a large amount of
bandwidth. By recording locally, the Communications System bandwidth is reduced to that needed
for live viewing.
Bandwidth requirements for all other applications both planned and future are significantly less
than that required for CCTV using network storage. For this reason, future expansion of CCTV
coverage at stations must be identified early in the design in order to provide sufficient bandwidth.
4.4 Communications Options and Recommendations
4.4.1 Technology / Topography
Of the physical media available for communications transmission, fiber optic cable has many
advantages, including very high bandwidth capabilities, high reliability, and intrinsic security
attributes. The major disadvantage of fiber is the high cost of installation. The City of Grand Rapids
has indicated that existing fiber optic cable is available between Central Station and 28th Street. The
existence of fiber optic cable makes the choice of physical media simple for this area. Some work
will be required at each station to access the existing cable and extend fibers to the communications
equipment at each platform.
Installation of fiber optic cable is also planned along Division south of 28th Street; however, it will
likely be three to five years or longer before this plan is implemented. One option for the area
between 28th Street and 60th Street is to install fiber optic cable as part of the Silver Line BRT
Project. Cost is a major consideration of this option. Estimating the cost of installing aerial fiber
optic cable highly depends on local conditions. The cost can vary from $25,000 to $100,000 per
mile.
Considering the other options for this area, there are some that can be easily eliminated.
Microwave and Free Space Optics both require line‐of‐sight, and for that reason would most likely
require towers that are difficult to site and are often disliked by neighbors. Wireless Mesh would
require a large number of node installations, and would provide inadequate bandwidth. Wireless
LANs would serve a station area, but would not provide the connectivity back to the central
location. The remaining options are examined in more detail.
WiMAX: WiMAX products are becoming available, such as the RuggedMAX line of products
manufactured by Ruggedcom, Inc. Base station units are mounted on utility poles and cover a much
larger area than WiFi access points. FCC licensing is required to deploy these wireless devices;
however, the licenses are generally easy to obtain and are inexpensive. To cover the area from 28th
Street to 60th Street, base station units would be installed on utility poles at the 28th Street Station
area. Bandwidth is an important consideration. Effective bandwidth decreases as the coverage
distance increases.
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 18
Leased Facilities: The use of leased services is an attractive option for the area not equipped with
fiber optic cable. The prospect of fiber optic cable becoming available in the future also makes the
use of lease services attractive, since it eliminates the installation of infrastructure that will
eventually be replaced. In particular, Multi‐protocol Label Switching (MPLS) service provides a
network solution that readily interfaces other IP‐based networks and systems. Service Level
Agreements are available with MPLS to assure a level of reliability. The service is scalable, allowing
selection of bandwidth to serve only the current equipment and allowing changes to port
bandwidths if additional equipment is installed in the future. Bandwidths as high as 12 Mbps are
available. A disadvantage of MPLS is the relatively high recurring cost. Monthly lease cost for MPLS
service to the stations in this area is roughly approximated to be $10,000 per month.
Each of these options remains viable and will be considered as the proposed Silver Line BRT design
progresses. However MPLS service offers distinct advantages in terms of bandwidth, scalability,
reliability and security, and is considered to be the most likely option at this time.
As previously stated, communications technology has moved in recent years from the fixed
dedicated bandwidth of time‐division multiplexing (TDM) to shared resources using network‐based
technologies. Ethernet/IP has become nearly ubiquitous throughout the industry. Devices such as
telephones and video cameras have evolved into Internet Protocol (IP) devices. Nearly all data
based systems, such as Automatic Vehicle Location and Fleet Management Systems require
Ethernet/IP communications between elements. Communications transmission equipment for the
Silver Line BRT will provide Ethernet/IP service to each station.
The topology of the system is a key factor in redundancy. SONET based systems provide excellent
self‐healing redundancy characteristics when deployed in a ring topology. When a node or path
ceases to function, the Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) automatically reroutes traffic around
the failure using other nodes and connections, making the transition in less than 50 microseconds.
The Division Avenue corridor does not lend itself to a ring topology, being essentially a straight line.
A SONET system could still be deployed, using a collapsed ring, i.e. fibers contained in the same
cable sheath. A collapsed ring does not provide the same degree of protection that a spatially
diverse ring does. If a fiber cable is cut, it is likely that all fibers in the cable will be severed or
damaged. SONET nodes are more costly than routers. The additional cost plus the necessity of
using a collapsed ring make the use of SONET less appealing for the proposed Silver Line BRT.
IP protocols such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) also provide protection against equipment and
link failures. OSPF quickly detects changes in the network topology, such as those caused by node
or link failures, and changes the affected packet routing in a matter of seconds. While not as fast as
the protection provided by SONET, OSPF still provides a high degree of protection when multiple
paths are available.
SONET nodes will continue to be considered in the project design, but it is expected that
environmentally hardened, Gigabit Ethernet layer three switches/routers will provide the best
basis for the Silver Line BRT Communications System. Figure 4.6 depicts a typical station using
this approach.

Figure 4.6 Typical Station Communications
Using this approach, all user applications will interface the Communications System via
Ethernet/IP, including IP CCTV Cameras and VoIP Emergency Telephones.
Figures 4.7 and 4.8 show two possible approaches to the network arrangement. In Approach 1,
depicted in Figure 4.7, each Switch/Router in the area served by fiber will have a dedicated pair of
fibers back to the central office. This maximizes the amount of bandwidth available to each
location. Fiber connections are also provided to the next station. The last station served by fiber,
28th Street, will also be served by MPLS. Using this arrangement, if the fiber optic cable is severed
in any location, each Switch/Router will have an alternate path back to the central location. The
disadvantage to this arrangement is the number of fiber pairs required.
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 20
Figure 4.7 Topology Approach 1
Approach 2 depicted in Figure 4.8 requires fewer fiber pairs than Approach 1 by “daisy chaining”
several Switch/Routers. The price paid is in bandwidth, with the daisy chained Switch/Routers
sharing the Gigabit bandwidth. Approach 2 provides alternate paths in a similar manner to
Approach 1.
Figure 4.8 Topology Approach 2
Bus Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communications Concept Report
Page 21
4.4.2 Bandwidth
As previously discussed, each station will require approximately 30 Mbps of bandwidth if
networked video storage is used. Approach 1 will easily meet this requirement for the stations
served by fiber, with the full Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth available to each Switch/Router.
Approach 2 will also meet bandwidth needs in the fiber area, since no more than five stations are
chained on any one pair of fibers, requiring a total of approximately 150 Mbps of the Gbps capacity.
The area not served by fiber optic cable is a much different bandwidth scenario. Due to the much
more limited bandwidth capacity of leased facilities or any of the other non‐fiber options, it would
be required that CCTV data be stored locally. This requires a digital video recorder at each location
and heating/cooling ability of the equipment housing. Therefore, due to the bandwidth limitations,
the need for expensive digital recorders, and the significant recurring leasing costs it is
recommended to provide fiber optic for the full length of the project as described in Approach 2
except that new aerial fiber is recommended south of 28th Street in lieu of leased (MPLS) fibers.
4.4.3 Other Design Approach Items
Availability: To assure the greatest amount of availability, Approach 1 will be preferred. However,
it is unlikely that as many as 34 fibers will be available to be dedicated to this system. The daisy
chaining of Approach 2 will therefore be used as required by the number of available fiber pairs.
Availability will also be considered in the selection Switch/Routers.
Scalability: Scalability is achieved by planning for future user applications, providing spare
bandwidth capacity and Switch/Router ports. Future applications will also be considered in
allocating space, environmental treatment and electrical power for equipment housings.
Quality of Service: The Switch/Routers chosen, as well as the MPLS service provided will support
QoS. This will be an important system feature since primary use of the system will be by VoIP and
video.
Security: As previously discussed, a degree of security is inherent in fiber‐based communications
systems. The LAN/WAN network approach also lends itself to using modern security methods.
Reliability and Maintainability: Network management and remote diagnostics will be provided for
the Communications System as well as the Emergency Telephone and CCTV user applications.
Hardened units will also be employed to the greatest extent possible. Maintenance will be
considered in the arrangement of equipment in housings.
Resilience, Survivability and Redundancy: This subject has been considered and discussed in the
Technology/Topology section. The Communications System will be arranged to provide as much
resilience as possible while not driving up cost using approaches such as hot standby equipment.
UPS will be used to provide limited protection during commercial power failures.
Equipment Housing, Environmental Control and Electrical Power: Many of the characteristics
discussed above depend upon the housings and environmental controls used to house the
equipment. This will be a primary consideration during project design.

5.0 ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED
TO PROVIDE BRT FUNCTIONS
5.1 Operations
Each Silver Line BRT Station will require a set of operating hardware devices:
“Next bus” signs with audio
Audio station announcements on the bus
Ticket Vending Machine
Emergency Telephone with CCTV camera
One additional CCTV camera
Fare Validation Device
Smart Card Reader
Passenger Information sign and Kiosk
Each of the systems will utilize the communications infrastructure and will tap into the electrical
supply constructed at each station.
The ITP must make their current AVL System functional to support BRT operations.
5.2 Traffic Signals
Signal Replacement/Modification: Based on the existing infrastructure capabilities and the
requirements to implement TSP, there is no need to replace or significantly modify any signalized
intersections.
Transit Signal Priority (TSP) Equipment: It is recommended that this project utilize the existing 3M
OpticomTM system for TSP communication at signalized intersections; the following equipment is
required to deploy TSP using OpticomTM technology:
Signal Requirements (Per signalized intersection where not existing)
o Confirmation Light Kit
o Detector
Two Channel/Two direction, or
One Channel/ One Direction
o Phase Selector (Four Channel)
o Span Wire Clamp

6.0 BRT OPERATIONS, TRAFFIC SIGNALS,
AND COMMUNICATIONS COST ESTIMATE
The Construction Cost Estimate for BRT Operations, Traffic Signals, and Communication is detailed
in Appendix E. The cost estimate is based on 2010 dollars and does not contain vehicles,
escalation, contingency or professional services.
The project cost estimate will utilize FTA’s Standard Cost Categories (SCC) spreadsheet was used to
summarize costs. The total cost will be summarized in the Cost Estimate Report and will include
escalation to year of expenditure, a 33 percent contingency on all cost items, and professional
services. The most recent total cost for the project excluding vehicle cost (as of October 11, 2010)
is $28.6 million and within budget.

The following represents our understanding of the key points of discussion at the traffic
operations meeting. If anything appears misrepresented, please let us know.
Meeting Purpose: Understand Cities traffic signal systems as well as how the Transit
Signal Priority equipment will interact with the traffic signal controllers.
Introduction
• The EA for the Silver Line is complete
Signals
• Existing signals are Eagle EPAC (models 30, 50 and 60 coming soon)
• The proposed transit signal prioritization in the EA document includes early green and
green extension. Pre-emptive signals are not proposed
8164 Executive Court, Suite A – Lansing, Michigan 48917 517.622.2500 Fax: 517.622.2525
Wilbur Smith Associates Inc., Michigan
• Cities concerned that extending green to Division when is the secondary traffic volume
could cause problem for heavy volume on some of side streets. The EA document
excludes the following heavy volume intersections along Division Avenue from
implementing transit signal prioritization – Burton St, 28th St, and 44th St. Group
suggested to exclude 36th St and 54th St also from implementing transit signal priority.
However, the study as part of the EA document shows 36th St and 54th St would still
operate within acceptable level of service even with transit signal priority.
• The City of Wyoming controls the signals at 32nd, 36th, 44th, 48th, and 54th which are
shared with the City of Kentwood. They all follow standards set by the City of Grand
Rapids
• The Opticom system is used to allow communication with the signals i.e emergency
vehicles. Currently the Fire department are the only group authorized. City of Wyoming
portion of Opticom is not being used.
• The City of Grand Rapids will provide a list of signals that have Opticom
• If other than Opticom is proposed, Cities indicated that The Rapid will be responsible to
change the hardware at signals and also on the Emergency vehicles. Group agreed that
the Opticom remain the system for the Silver Line to keep consistency and avoid
additional cost
• The system is currently optimized for progression which the city is hopeful will suffice for
the transit progression along the corridor.
• The consultant team needs to consider delay to the general public and ensure that
additional green time is only given when needed
• The average cycle length is currently 90 seconds
• The consultant team will request necessary synchro files for the existing signal network
from the City of Grand Rapids
• The existing detection systems include micro, loops, video and a few pucks
o If any improvements are done at signals, cities are changing them to Video
detection
o The City of Grand Rapids will provide a list of detection types at each signal
• City’s central control system currently uses ACTRA, however, will be changing to
TACTICS. Except 32nd St, all other intersections communicate with Central control
system.
Maintenance
• The Cities are concerned about the maintenance requirements as they are responsible
o The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is currently drafted will layout all
components of the system including the maintenance requirements
o The MOU has been reviewed by City management prior to this technical
coordination
o The MOU will address issues communicated at two levels, to City Managers at
one level and to engineering and operations at the next level
o The MOU will be a living document that can be revised over time
• A quarterly technical report is proposed to look at safety, detour routes and maintenance
schedule
Communication Infrastructure
• The Current communication infrastructure has either radio, copper or fiber
o Fiber is installed from 28th to Wealthy, with none south of 28th
o No ductwork is available for running fiber or cable
o The existing fiber network has 48 lines with approximately 50% dark
o The City owns all lines and may look at leasing in the future

Wilbur Smith Associates Inc., Michigan
• The City of Grand Rapids will send a fiber map
• The Silver Line will likely need 2 lines for traffic, and 2 or more for other uses such as
CCTV
Other
• Note that Division is an incident management route for US-131
• 28th street is an M-route that crosses division but it is not recommended for signal
prioritization so not an issue
• ITP will coordinate with MDOT (Eric Kind - TSC Manager, and Paul Errand – Traffic
Management Center)
• The cities would like to see what other cities have done with signage when lanes
transition from exclusive bus lane to shared lane.
• The speed limit on Division from 28th to 54th will increase to 40 mph from 35 mph
Action Items
• The City of Grand Rapids will provide a list of signals that have Opticom
• The consultant team will request necessary synchro files for the existing signal network
from the City of Grand Rapids
• The City of Grand Rapids will provide a list of detection types at each signal
• The City of Grand Rapids will send a fiber map

The following represents our understanding of the key points of discussion at the bus operations
meeting. If anything appears misrepresented, please let us know.
Meeting Purpose: Understand all of ITP’s operations and expectations that will interface
with the Silver Line and how those will be communicated.
Introduction
• The team would like to understand what systems are currently in place and how they
can be implemented into the Silverline BRT.
• ITP would like to ensure that their current ITS system will be compatible with the
proposed system
8164 Executive Court, Suite A – Lansing, Michigan 48917 517.622.2500 Fax: 517.622.2525

Integrate the BRT with AVL system/other systems in ITP
• The current equipment and software is developed by AVL Technologies in Colorado and
the stop annunciators are McKenzie. They appear to have some existing issues with the
current functioning of their AVL systems. The reporting features are not yet meeting their
expectations. The Rapid staff needs to resolve this with their vendor.
• The next bus sign currently gives a scheduled time which is not linked to actual bus
arrivals
• The proposed next bus system should include audio for persons with disabilities, on
board the vehicles and at stations.
• ITP would like the system to make it easy for users to differentiate the BRT and regular
fixed route system.
• BRT needs to be integrated into the existing system
• Transferring between the BRT and other services needs to be seamless
Fare Collection
• Smartcards are desirable but may be too expensive
o Currently using GFI Genfare fareboxes, the Odyssey model which has smart
capabilities which has not been implemented or utilized. They were installed in
2003-2004
• Pre-paid boarding is a desired attribute for the Silverline service, as a feature to reduce
dwell time at stations. Questions were raised regarding how to safeguard fare payment
avoidance
• The consultant team is to make a recommendation on the fare system and technology. .
o Options include: one card that can be used on both BRT and regular service
o Issues raised: premium fare for BRT, shared stations
Emergency Telephones
• Currently no system in place
• Emergency calls should go to the security office which is manned 24/7
• ITP would like the emergency telephone to automatically trigger a camera at that
location so that security can instantly see the incident
• Calls need to be recorded for later use
CCTV
• Existing cameras on buses are Apollo, Washington
• Central station currently has cameras
• The current security system has 64 cameras that are monitored 24/7
• The proposed system should include cameras at other stations that will tie to the main
system
• The goal is not to have all cameras visible at once but to have easy access to camera
footage when needed.
• The initial camera locations need to be prioritized at the worst crime locations
• ITP should explore the potential of tying into the City of Grand Rapids Traffic
Management Center
General System
• ITP would like the system to be as intermodal as possible allowing easy transition for
pedestrian and Bicycle traffic onto the BRT
• Bicycle racks are needed at core stations and the Silver Line ends
• ITP is currently looking at different buses, and will likely have 60’ articulated units
• Low-flow hybrid electric buses are desirable
8164 Executive Court, Suite A – Lansing, Michigan 48917 517.622.2500 Fax: 517.622.2525
Wilbur Smith Associates Inc., Michigan
• ITP has future plans to build park’n’ride facilities at 54th and 60th, however this is not part
of this contract
• The fiber optic currently does not go south of 28th St, but an economical data system can
be installed in the interim to avoid the initial cost
Stations
• Stations can be shared between BRT and regular fixed route service however there is
concern over the logistics i.e. will both buses use the exact location which will cause
delay to the Silver Line, will the regular stations be offset to reserve the spot BRT etc.
• If regular fixed route stations are offset the consultant team recommends downstream to
all easy entry for Silver Line buses to line up correctly with the curb
• Verification is needed on whether BRT buses will be allowed to leave the designated
lane to avoid regular fixed route buses or right turning traffic blocking the bus line while
waiting for pedestrians
• ITP will evaluate the operation at each location to recommend a function
• Technology should differentiate between which bus types are arriving
• The MOU needs to allow changes in the operation to be made over time
• 5 stations are currently located on grades steeper than 2% which is the maximum
allowable ADA grade
• The team will explore options and make a recommendation on a treatment at each of
these locations
• Precision docking is an option that would allow a ADA accessible landing area
• Precision docking will impact the ability of the station to be used for regular fixed route
operations.
Signal Priority
• The team recommends keeping the Opticom system which is currently used to save
additional cost of upgrading the entire system
• The system is currently set up to hold green and not switch to green
o This is signal priority which is how the proposed will work vs. signal preemption
which allows emergency vehicles to always get a green light
• The optimal station location is past the signal not prior to
Action Items
• ITP to assess each station for combined Fixed Route and BRT services impacts.
• Schedule a site visit to recommend regular fixed route bus interaction with BRT stations
for WSA team
• ITP to assess potential of tying cameras into City Traffic Management Center
• Consultant team to recommend fare collection system
• Consultant team to review parking and other signage along BRT route at proposed
station locations.
• Wayfinding and other signage needs to be a consideration

1.0 Introduction and Purpose
The Silver Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route, as defined in the Environmental Assessment (EA)
report prepared in 2010, runs through three cities; Grand Rapids, Wyoming, and Kentwood and
includes 33 proposed Silver Line BRT stations along a 9.6 mile route.
The purpose of this technical paper is to summarize the cost estimating process used to develop the
final visioning phase estimate for the Silver Line BRT and to explain the details of each component
of the estimate. This estimate was developed from the design analysis done during the final
visioning process. The intent of this estimate is to provide a preliminary cost to provide
information to Interurban Transit Partnership (ITP) – The Rapid and the Federal Transit Authority
(FTA) to confirm that the project is within budget as an aid in moving the project forward to the
final design and construction phases.
To verify the cost estimate method and assumptions the study team met with representatives from
the ITP. The final estimate includes the changes as discussed at the meeting and the notes are
attached in Appendix A.
2.0 FTA Estimate Template
The FTA cost estimating spreadsheet template was used to summarize the cost estimate
components calculated for the Silver Line BRT. The spreadsheet utilizes Standard Cost Categories
(SCC) established by the FTA to allow for a consistent cost format and convenient comparison to
the EA estimate for this project. The SCC list is separated into 10 categories; the full SCC category
list and SCC definitions are included in Appendix B.
3.0 EA Estimate and Budget Control
The EA estimate developed by AECOM on 3/16/2010 as shown in Appendix C, was provided to the
design team as a starting point for the cost estimating efforts. The EA estimate was initially
updated to provide a base estimate to fit with the available $30 million budget for the very small
starts project application to the FTA. The following is a list of modifications initially made to the EA
estimate at the beginning of phase I, by the design team in order to confirm that the Total Project
Cost at the Year of Expenditure was controlled to meet the budget;
BRT Vehicles
Traffic Concepts Report
Page 1
The cost of vehicles (SCC 70.04 = $8 million) and spare parts (SCC 70.07 = $0.26 million) were
removed from the EA estimate. These items were added back in for the final phase I estimate.
Contingency Change
The EA estimate had a variable contingency rate which the design team adjusted to bring it in‐line
with contingency percentages experienced on previous projects to suit the early stage of this
project. The adjusted contingency was calculated as 33 percent of the total 2010 cost for each SCC
item, kept consistent to the EA estimate. A consistent 33 percent contingency was applied to all
SCC items. Note that 33 percent contingency calculated for each revised SCC item in the final phase
I estimate.
Unallocated Contingency
The unallocated contingency was adjusted to round the total project cost up to the $30 million
project budget. Note that the final phase I estimate includes a flat $1 million.
4.0 Detailed Estimate
The design team developed detailed cost estimates to feed into each of the SCC categories. Each
detailed estimate was developed based on the design done for the final visioning phase, and then
given a 33 percent contingency in the main SCC worksheet to account for unknowns in design,
adjustments to unit costs, and final quantities. All costs are based on 2010 dollars.
4.1 Stations
The station estimate includes all cost items associated with the station canopy and the concrete pad
foundation and is shown is Appendix D. It also includes the following items integral to the station;
trees
benches and bike racks
station lighting
electrical
The unit costs for the station estimate were based on the Euclid Corridor bid tabs and escalated by
3% annually to 2010 dollars.
4.2 Roadway
The roadway estimate includes all costs associated with SCC items 10.02 (Guideway – concrete bus
pad), 10.03 (At‐grade in Mixed Traffic), 20.01 (At‐grade Station), 40.02 (Site Utilities/Utility
Relocations) and is detailed in Appendix D. The unit costs under roadway tasks are based on the
2010 MDOT Average Unit Prices. The unit costs were selected based on similar small projects
within the same geographical area to ensure conservative costs were used.
10.02 Guideway – concrete bus pad
SCC 10.02 includes cost items associated with the in‐road concrete bus pad such as pavement
removal, concrete, earthwork and manhole adjustments
10.03 Atgrade in Mixed Traffic
Cost Estimate Report
Page 2
SCC 10.03 includes cost items associated with Maintenance of Traffic for the construction of all
construction components.
50.05 Communications
SCC 50.05 Communications includes all items relating to communication infrastructure at the
stations and at the main office.
80 Professional Services
SCC items under SCC 80 - Professional Services were updated as percentage costs based on the total
base year construction sub-total (SCC 10 through 50) cost estimate. Table 1.0 shows a summary of
each professional service task and the percentage of the construction sub-total;

6.0 Items Not Included in Worksheet
Several cost items were not included in this estimate that could present additional cost to the
project if they occur.
New traffic signals or Signal controllers
Possible upgrades to traffic signals may be possible in the future that could have cost impact to the
Silver Line BRT. An allowance of $250,000 to upgrade signals and one intersection are included in
SCC line item 50.02
ADA ramps
Most intersections already have ADA ramps but not locations impacted by the Silver Line BRT have
been verified
Park’n’Ride
An area at the southern end of the project could potentially attract commuters to used the Silver
Line BRT system. This item is to be determined as part of future studies
Private utility relocations
It is common for private utilities to pay for utility relocations within city ROW however there are
some cases where some or all of the cost would be borne by the land owner.
Facility for CCTV monitoring
Not currently scoped for the project, but a feature that could be added in during the design phase.
Programming etc. for Internet Kiosk
The cost to program the internet kiosk that will be located at each station depends greatly on the
intended function of the kiosk, much of which will be established during the design phase.
Significant plantings and irrigation system
Dependent on decisions made during the design phase
Snow Melt System
Dependent on decisions made during the design phase
Other costs are anticipated as part of the project classified as system amenities that were not
designed during the visioning phase but were developed as draft plug costs that are included under
SCC 70.05 – Other, in the Final FTA Main Worksheet Estimate as plug costs.
GPS Signal Prioritization = $76,000
Pedestrian signals (upgrades needed at 14 of the total 18 stations) = $28,000
AVL System Changes = $75,000
33 percent contingency = $59,000
Total = $238,000

The following represents our understanding of the key points of discussion at the meeting with The Rapid
and other members of the Project Team. If anything appears misrepresented, please let us know.
LEED @ Stations?
• May not be required based on square footage
• Avoid rain barrels, consider using runoff water for tree plantings
• Utilizing local vendors/contractors
8164 Executive Court, Suite A – Lansing, Michigan 48917 517.622.2500 Fax: 517.622.2525
ITP - The Rapid Silver Line BRT
The Rapid requested WSA look at adding cost breakdown/estimate for additional cost items. Tai would
rather have an item for system amenities with a cost that can be presented to the Board if need be.
Additional items included in the “system amenities” will be:
• GPS/Radio detectors at each signal for transit priority and emergency vehicle preemption.
• Countdown pedestrian signals and new pedestrian call buttons.
• AVL upgrades to support “Next Bus” information (cost from Rapid’s AVL vendor)
o Add vehicles to estimate with a year of expenditure 2013 ($8.2M) including contingency
Stations
o Last station at 54th St. (SB) can be scaled back as most alight at this point and don’t wait for a bus
o A ticket vending machine might not be required at the last station
o Add additional cost for larger kiosk (as shown on station illustration)
Bike Rack
o Bike rack quantity will be doubled to provide more capacity at high traveled stations
• Bike groups may want to include their own design
The Rapid suggested that the FTA’s definition be included for each line item for presentation to the
board.
It was agreed that all the miscellaneous items be listed individually with the 33% contingency rather than
assume they are part of the contingency amount.
