BAC]{GROUND
The santa Clara county Transportation Agency and the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission are conducting the 'l:d.sman Corridor Study
to evaluate potential transit improvements~ The Tasman Corridor
runs 12 miles east to west along Tasman Drive, parallel to Highway
2)1 in northern Santa Clara County--passinq through northeast san
Jose, Milpitas, Sunnyvale, and Mountain View.
CUrrently" a Draft Alternatives Analysis and Draft E.nvironmental
Impact statement bave been prepared and are being reviewed, both
locally and by the Urban Mass Transpor~ation Administration (U.S.
Department of Transportation).
From a broad range of alternatives considered in previous studies,
this current effort has focused on the following four major
alternatives:
1. No Build Alternative -Examines conditicns in 2005 if only
the programmed capital improvements are built and transit
service reflects current five year plan~
2. Transportation System Mana-gement tTSM) Altern~J:.ive -Examines
conditions in 2005 if transit services are expanded to meet
future demand with express buses on proposed high-occupancy
vehicle (BOV) facilities, and proposed improvements from the
Transportatioa 2000 Plan.

:). Express BUS/ROV Alternat.ive -Exa.mines conC_itions. in 2o-~S if
transit service is expanded to meet demand and express buses
are operated on BOV facilities, which include freeway-to
freeway HOV connector ramps at selected interchanges.
4. Light Rail Transit (LRt) Alternatives -Eive suh-alternatives
which examine conditions in 200; it ~ransit s~rvice is
expanded to meet demand and light rail transit is operated
at lea~t from Hilpitas to Loc~eed, and at most from E~st San
Jose to Mountain View/Sunnyvale.
The five Light Rail Transit sub-al ternatives ... each of 'Which extends
~he Guanalupe Corridor LR? at North First Street and Tasman Drive,
are identified as follows:
4A. Milpitas (Capitolj'Main Station) to Lockheed.
4B. Milpitas (Capitoljllain Station) to OO!JDtown Mountain View~
4C. Hilpitas {capitoljXain station} to downtown Sunnyvale.
4D. CapitoljHostetter to do'Wntown Mountain View.
H. cap i tol/Bost_et.t.er to OO-"'71tovn Sunnyvale.
CURRENT SITUATION
The matter before the Council, at this time, concerns the issue of
Whether the first priority for the extension of the existIng LRT
system should be to serve downtown MOuntain Viev (LRT Alternative
4B-or 40), or downtown Sunnyvale (LRT Alternative 4C or 4E).
Apparently. within the foreseeable .future, there is sUfficient
potential funding f~r the extension of the LRT system to one, but
not both, of these downtowns.
Both cities have e.xpressed strong interest in baving the first
priority extension serve their respective central business
districts and both cities are interested in generating public
support for their respective positions. The technical information
available is such that vhile there are differences for each city,
an extension to either city could be made to work. UltiLatelY6 it
will be the County Board of supervisors that will make a decision
for Santa Clara CountY6 vhich will then be subject to the approval
of the Metropolitan Transportation commission as well as tbe Urban
Mass Transportation Administratlon4
For further information and consideration~ three sets of reference
materials are attacbed.
Attachm~nt A includes two items: the first is a copy of a
brochure. prepared tor public information meetings now
underway. ~he second is a copy of Cbapter 6 {DRAFTl.

CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW

P.O. So. ) 540
Xountaio View 1 CA 94039
00 behalf of Nadine Levi~s ~ountain View·s City Manager (Actingl;
Walter Coh~o. Planning and Community Development Director; and
myself, J want to thank you and y~r staff for meetinq with us to
discuss the light rail line into ~otOWD Mountain view* The
City of ~ountain View believes that li9bt rail is vital to the
future of transpo.rtation im. the North county. We hope that Palo
Alto ~ill eodorse the County ligbt rail system and its eEtension
into ~ountain View.
Tasman Corridor Study
The Santa Clara county Transportation Agency and the ~etropolitan
Transportation Commission imitiated the Tasman Coeridor Study to
evaluate transit improvements between the fwt~re BART Exter.sion
and the CalTrain line~ 'The Study is an offs'hoot of the Fre;;oo.nt
SOuth Bay Co-rridor Stu-dy and includes the industrial area often
refereed to as the Golden Triangle.
The Study and environmental analysis are lookiog at four
alternatives in the Tasman Corridor:
1. No Build--Whicb consists of e~istinq free~ay and transit
systems, improvements iccloded in Measure A and pr09rammed
STIP improvemeets.
2. includes TOM

4.. L191'!_~ Rail Transit--Whicb. would extend the ezisting Santa
Clara County lIght rail line east to Milpitas and San Jose 6
and west to Lockheed and the CalTraic line in either Mountain
Vie~ or Sunnyvale ..
A major option in Alternative .. will be the decision to extend
the line to the CalTrain station in Sunnyvale or to extend the
line to the Cal Train station in downtown Mountain View.
A series of community meetings are being held to info-rm people
about the options and solicit their input.. Formal public
heacin~s will be beld this summer upon completion ~f the draft
EIS document~ All of this documentation and input will be
forwarded to the Samta Clara County Transit District Board for
action later this s~mmer.
Preferred Alternativ~
The first action of the Board will be to consider the a~ion of
a preferred alternative. Should they select light rail, they
~ill then need to select either the Mountain View or the
Sunny~ale ~iOD.
Both Mountain View aDd S~nnyvale support eztending the line to
each of our cities. Early in the process. we worked closely
together to ensure that both op<ions ~ere incloded. Ho~ever,
because ~f cost, only one city can be served by this Dezt step of
light rail ..
The City of Mountaio Vie~ and many others support the light rail
alternative.. Light rail appears to p·rovide longer-range. more
positive solutions to County transportation p·roblems.. The con
nection to CalTrain and the eztension of the EART line into t~e
Milpitas area provide a rail linkage around the southern porticn
of San Francisco Bay, a true alternative to aotomObile commute
traffic in the region. It links with the e~istin~ Goadalupe
Extension, providing e&cellent connections bet~eeQ hOUSing and
the big·h concentration of jobs im. the Golden Triangle.. Light
rail can p~ovide a positive foundation for £edevel~Dt along
the line over time$ providing the mix of uses and designs which
would f~rther enhance the qualities of light rail.
The Mountain Vie~.AdyaQtage
Tt.e Mountain View line runs f.l miles 'With sil: stops. serving a
large mizture of commercial. residential and industrial cses.
The ~ountaic View line extends from Lockheed to the Ellis Street
gate at ~ffett Field$ througb the iodust£ial area between
Whisman Road and Route 231$ south to a stop wIth a park and ride
lot near Highway S5~ terminating at the multi-modal CalTrain.

light rail and bus station in downtown ~ountain View. The align
ment assures convenient pedestrian, transit and ~ehiculac access
at several points along tne way.
The second major ad~antage o,f the .Mouotain View aligruneot deals
with the simplicity of its constru~tioD. We partic~larly lite
the idea that the alignment does not require relocation and that
there is virtually no disruption to eIi!tioq streets or residen
tial neighborhood's. .Much of the route runs along a seldom-used
rail spur. The Aountain View alignment does not require any
major bridqes or tunnels. Because of these factors r the cost per
mile is substarntially lower than that in Sannyvale.
On the other band, tbe Sunnyvale alternative runs alooq ezistin9
streets and requires four major structures, complicated under
passes and br idges that stand a big-her po-tential of escalat in.g
costs than the relatively simple alignment within Mountai~ View.
Fi[lally, .]II;ountai~ View has placed a majo,r elIlphasis on
f'evitalir:ation o.f the downtown, mal:iog it a destination and
logical tetEious fo-r ligllt rail. In addition, 'We are studying
the rede'llelopmect o,f an area along the COrt'idor .... bien parallels
the future ligbt. rail line between oowotown ano Big-hilla, 85. This
older .i~ of indust£ial G~es will very likely become an e~tension
of tbe ~otown and the adjacect residential neighbQrhood and it
yiII be designed to support the multi-moqal do~otowc station.
Nor th County
The ~ntain View line e~tends ligbt rail furthest into North
Couot~. providinq more coDvesient ac~ess to Palo Alto l Los Altos
and Los Altos Bills. For Peninsula residents using the CalTrain
liner a transfer io Mountain View rather than Sunnyvale provides
a more direct, quicker connection into the Golden Triangle
industrial area.
Every effort ~ust be made to provide alternatives to automobile
t raftic i III the 101 co[ rido-r. lillich, o-f course, means reI ief for
Palo Alto residents commuting into jobs within the Lockheed/
Colden Triangle area.
Again. I thank you for the opportunjty to discuss light rail with
you~ We hope that ligbt rail can be a req20nal success. Palo
Alto's endorsement of the ligbt rail alternative and the aligc
ment into Mountain View would be very helpful~

The afgnrnen!s under consideration i'lcIude llvee 10 downtown Sunnyvale and ooe 10 !he
MounIain VieW Callrain station. The afognmenls 10 Sunn)'Vale pick up at !he current
terminus in !he City 01 Santa Clara and proceed aTong Tasman and Java into !he Mo~etl
Indus!rlal Park and locI<heed. From 1here,1he rOUles spr~ 10 go either 10 Mountain VieW
0< down Mathilda Avenue 10 Sunnyvale's downtown 0< down an artgl'\ment /.-'5t wes! 01

What's Besllor .... Region?
The City 01 SumyvaJe feels !hat !he exlension 10 our downlown is n !he best hteres! 01

The first among !hose reasons is ease of access along !he Iighl ra~ righI-of-way. WhJle
fle SumyvaJe aflQM1ert down Mathilda or Pastoria is not 'simple', Ihe Mountain View
aIigm1IInt oonIains a potentiallalal flaw. ThaI prOOlem is getting !he ra~ past the Moffet!
F .. 1d runway_ The Moumain V .. w aflQlYTl8'-' proposes \0 run along Marv1a Drive at the
foot 01 fle runway. The Navy has stated in very clear terms lheir grave concem abo<A
I1e IigI1I fllIl wires, as weI as !he !rains flemseTves ex1eoding into !he air above ground
and flus rno !he clear zone. The Navy has also requested !hat fle CounIy secure
clearance from fle Federal Aviation Administration 'l' AN \0 ano"" Ihe vehicles and the
wires \0 be at grade. We beneva !hat !he Navy wants FAA \0 lerr MC'_"l!ain v..,w !hat an
at-grede crossing would not be permitted. FalTlng FAA disapproval, !he Navy wouTe! likely
disapprove 0I1he crossing themselves" The orJy alternative would be \0 submerge the
1'811 line in a IUmeI whk:I\ would be ex!temely cost1y and may not be feasibte due 10
groundwate< c:onIan1inaIion. TI'.e groundwater would have \0 be cleaned up before any
constrv..1ion could begir\ or othe< methods \0 allOid!he contaminated water wCXJld be
necessary. These methods are extremely difficult and costly.
The approval or disapproval process for Mountain VieW could take qu~e some time. This
study does not have ~me \0 s~ around and _ for a decision from Washington on !his
issue or "" opporIUni!y \0 secur e federal funding oou1d disappear for many years \0
come. There is a limited Iwo-year funding 'window' i11he 1 992 \0 19941ime "ame which
must be ulITJzed for !his project.
The County Transportation Agency is already looking at Ihe proposed ra~ arlQm18f1ls with
luIure ex1ensions in mind. A logical eXlension 01 the Sumyvale afogMlert brings the ran
down Sumyvale-Saratoga Road rna Cupertino and eventually comects with It>.e new
Route 85 freeway and fle proposed Vasona Corridor 1ighI. ran line. The new section 01
Route 85 is specifically designed with median width for Mure Iighl rail. This comection
would make the County's LRT system a truly comprel1ens1ve ran line serving a vast are a
01 !he County_ The Mountain View line does not alford an opport..,ity \0 loop the County
as fle Sumyvale ina does. The most !hat "" Mountain VI<IW line cou:d provide would
be a Iurf1er ex1ension up "" peninsula which would be redundant with \he Ca~rain
service. ThaI artgrmenl would not be uselll to ra~ passenge<s and would be unlikely 10
secure _aI funding as UMTA has already stated !hey would not conside< adding track
alongside an existing line.

\JgI't Rai 10 Downtown Sumyvale May 22,1990
Page 3
The Sumyvale cIov.n1own arogrvnenl has very carefully lak en inlo c:onsiderafion !he fact
1hal future eXlensions 01 !he flul ina wi!! be desired and we have built nlo Ihe af'9""'er(
a very clear and logical eXlension. With \he end s'.ation on Washlnglo.'l Avenue h
cIov.n1own, !he logical eXlension would be along Sumyvale AVfM'<Je 10 Sumyvale
Saratoga Road and south i'lIo Cuper1ino 10 new Aou1e 85. The i'nportance 01
consicIefing a Mure eXlension at !his early elate is an issue 01 good p1aming. The
Transporlafion Agency staff has presented !he eo<>cep( 0I1he LRT eXlenslon at several
s1aI! ~s and has expressed a keen i'lIerest n providing fo4' \hal possibility.
The Mountain VieW ar.grvnent also has olher flaws. The firS! is !hal Caltrans has
conc!uded 1hal !he Aou1e 85 segment between Mountain view and 1-280 camot
aGCOIM1Odale IighI ra1 due 10 !he current widening and restricted right-of-way. There is
simply no room 10 ntroduce LRT into \hat segment.
Furlher. should Mountain VieW desire 10 bacl<lrack 10 Sumyvale and !he Aou1e 85
Corridor, a crossing 0I1he SouIhern Pacific tracks a' the Mounlain VieW r",lroad StaflOfl
would require a U blown subway with signals and !ire protecflOl'l The primary
considerafion lor Mountain Vlew"s decision 10 end !he tracks no<1h 0I1he r",lroad station
is a very large coS! savings ($'9 million). However. n so doing. Mountain VieW has made
I extremely difficult and oostIy 10 provide any future nor1h-south COfYleC!ions.
No aftemative north-south suriace IighI ra~ arognmenl 10 !he west 01 Aou1e 85 has ever
been proposed and indeed !here is no logical rOUl.. Even I an arlQ(Vl1enl through
Mountain VieW was built. I would be approximately a.-1/2 1T1l1es 01 backlracl<ing and cost
approximately $87 mW>OI'l1o $1 02 mWIOn The Mountain VIeW ar.grvnent would most Iil<ely
attract less patronage and would 1hen have a higher COS! per new rider raflo. which is !he
determining factor n lkban Mass Transportation Agenci"S (UMTA) decision 10 lund a
project WhIle 1his issue would apply 10 a future ex1ension. I camot be ignored at rhis
~me n !he ultimate goa! 01 providing a IighI ra~ nelWorl< throughout Ihe CounIy_
The draft federal environmental document prepared for lhis project in<flCales a coS! per
new ride< figure 01 $10.20 10< either !he Pastoria arognment or !he Matl'u1cla afignmer( n
Sumyvale. Both 01 !hese artgnmenls go 10 Moffett Park and lockheed!irst The
Mountain VIeW arlQlYT18nl, which also goes 10 Mollett Park and Lockheed fJfSt ranges
between $13.30 and $1._10 per new rider. UMT A. ulJTlZes coS! per new rider as !he basis
10< de1erminaflOl'l 01 Uld'ng. OJ project will compete across 1he nation,. no! just
Mountain VieW versus Sumyvale, but Santa Clara County versus Houston or Miarr. or
Minneapolis, so I is v"'J iT1pot1ant 10 reach the lowest COS! figure possible. There are

stil many elesign modfficalions whiCh can be utilized 10 reduce cost and $umyvale has
stressed Itoo$e cost ClJ!ling features consis1ent1y ltYoughou( !he stvdy. We will conti"""
to do so n an effort 10 bffig down !he cost ligufes.
Rielership
The Caltraln station at Evelyn .... venue n Sumyvale would provide !ransler. to and tom
the igI"t rail, bus and pedestrians. The station's POtential has been overlooKed 10 a large
extenl n !he past Since 1980, t has had !he highest number of boardings per day other
lhen the two end Slalions (San Francisoo end San Jose).. Mountairl V_ 00y has 75%
of !he patronage f>a! SU"'Y"ale has, and SomyvaIe has shown a steady ncrease since
1980. Of !he 52 !rains which Callrans runs up and down \he peninsula, 51 slop n
SumyvaIe. N~ level of service reflects !he excellenl patronage !hat the $umyvale slation
efloys.
The second fac\.)t bearing on ridership is paOOng availaboTrty. Thete is currentiy parKing
available in !he TownCen!er parking garage second level. !he (IO(thwest section cllha
Town and Country Jo(, and a lot at Evelyn and Charfes very near !he stafiOO. MOU<1taTn
VIeW has no such \o(s aVailable for paOOng.
LRT ,"sibTIIy is a flird isSue which alfects ridership. Matr.lda Aver;.;e provides a high
clegree cl visibiTrty and carries approximately 50,000 vehicles per day. That visibility is
extremely VnpoIIanl to 1M County. No other Oty roadway n !he County is as widely
usad or affords as great a IIisiboTrty as Mathilda.
When compar'ng Sumyvale's downIown 10 Mountain V_'s downlow .... SumyvaTe can
oIfer many lacirllies which Mounrain VIeW cannot Our downtown is a blend of

SI.mmay -lRT 10 DownIown SumyvaIe
BmgJng light rail 10 SumyvaIe's downIowrl has several advantages oVe< \he angnmerot
10 Moootain View's downtown. Those """anlages include:
hi aflgl1mel1l whiCh does no! conIain any fatal flaws such as !he Morrett Field clear
zone and wafer <:ontamina!ion issues in Mountain V .. w,
lower cost per new rider raIio. which is !he most importanl delermining factor in
UMTA's decision 10 lund any rail extension. This ratio becomes very WnporIan! in
<lecicftng whether 10 lund this project as cpposecIlo a project elsewhere in !he
oountrv,
The ablTJIy 10 provide a luIure extension o(!he rail me 10 \he new Route 85 freeway
corridor and on 10 !he Vasooa Corridor in a logical ar'9M'E>nt from Sumyvale for
approximately $1 00 milrlOl'lless !han from MounIain View, hly future extension 10
Roufe 85 would have 10 start at lockheed anyway in orC!er 10 save lime and
money and would. flerefore. make Mountain VieW into a spur line off !he main
Irack-not a desirable $,~ua!iort
