<br /> How many buses will be coming and going through the terminal? <br /> At present CARTS runs thirteen (13) vehicles, four (4) of which are in SMT service from 7:00 <br /> am to 6:00 pm, Mon -Fri, and six (6) Community Transit vehicles that are on the street from 8:00 <br /> am to 5:00 pm, MOn -Fri. Three vehicles remain on the lot for back-up. There will be a fairly <br /> high level of activity at certain intervals throughout the day as passenger transfers are made, <br /> particularly on the SMT. Currently Greyhound has thirteen (13) daily schedules through San <br /> Marcos. Landscaping will be designed to minimize noise by using existing trees and adding <br /> foliage to create natural "sound buffer" zones making the site as unobtrusive as possible and <br /> environmentally pleasing. CARTS vehicles will be housed on the property in a secure, fenced <br /> area. <br /> What about the Regional Commuter Rail System being discussed. Win it use this <br /> terminal? <br /> This site was chosen with that possibility in mind, but that is not our decision to make. We have <br /> incorporated that eventuality into our master planning of the site, and believe that the location of <br /> our terminal affords the best access for the city as a whole to commuter rail. This site is not large <br /> enough to incorporate all amenities necessary for the volume of use the commuter rail advocates <br /> forecast, but adjacent unused land is available to incorporate adequate park-n-ride facilities for <br /> that use. Our facility is designed for intermodal use, so of course we will incorporate that mode <br /> into our design. <br /> ------ <br />
