SAN MARCOS TRANSIT PLAN I FINALREPORT City of San Marcos Of some student's party goers? Could be a problem. Just saying! Especially to the older generations. My concern is traffic congestion with buses lined up on a street as opposed to pulling into a station. Also, lack of bathrooms, coverage from weather, and on -duty staff to answer questions. Traffic impact. This needs to be downtown would it notjust be at the Mobility H ub? Why would this not be located at the Mobility Hub? This also is adjacent to the shopping center notorious for towing and if people see a transit station next to a private parking lot this gives a false sense of "transit options". You need to provide more info as to its use and services provided. Have you ever tried to parallel parka bus? These need to nose in, like at the University bus hub on Woods Street. As shown, it will require some buses to turn left across traffic on University - perhaps that can be handled by new signaling, but as things are it would be a problem. I wonder how it would affect the businesses there. It would be great as long as they aren't pushed out or unable to utilize all of their parking area. You haven't defined transit plaza, so I'm not sure what all is involved. Close to main square. Of more traffic. Parking is an issue. I want to know if this is a mutually beneficial locations for the transit plaza for the permanent residents of SM. There isn't much street lighting there and would worry about safety for pedestrians. Us student have to pay a bus fee every semester and now we have to share buses with people that are not students and pay nothing. Students should have their own busses to take them to school with no stops other than apartments. Texas State should stop charging us a bus fee if they want us to share busses. Also, safety measurements should be applied at these shared bus stops. Like the one near the Edward Gary which is near the square, there people that may harass students or homeless who may sleep in these stops. Of traffic, would there be more or less? The students walking there. Will it be a completely new bus route or be an additional stop to one of the other bus routes? I can see the convenience, but itwould make commute time longer. For campus students I feel like an additional campus loop route should be added but heading in the opposite direction. Thatwould be more helpful to TXST students in their daily class lives. With so much student housing, there needs to be enough parking near downtown for employees at local business/service from a shared lot potentially. Need better understanding of the work plaza. Will people be parking here and taking the bus? What is the anticipated impact if this is a parkand commute location? This area tends to get congested at 5 PM as Texas State employees leave work. The light backs up on Edward Gary and then the four way stop causes major backup heading south. Adding foot traffic and buses may cause additional congestion to the mix. I thinkthis is still a far walk for students as this area of downtown is still a bit far from any of the central locations of the Texas state campus. Compared to the center location where most shuttles drop off, just below the UAC. Increase the possibility of trafficjam as more people will come to the city in the future, and not many of them will choose public transportation. Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. ( B-41
