The construction of the South Transfer Point is scheduled to begin in May, 1998 and be <br /> completed in July, 1998. Madison Metro has scheduled the implementation of their new routing <br /> system to begin in the summer of 1998. <br /> The reason the Badger Road and Park Street location is suitable for the South Transfer Point is <br /> its close proximity to existing and proposed Madison Metro bus routes and access to primary <br /> roadways. This location will also serve as the primary connection for eastside and westside <br /> routes. Most current bus routes serving the south side area will be routed through the South <br /> Transfer Point. An additional route from the Allied Drive area, through the Southwest Transfer <br /> Point and to the South Transfer Point will be added to the system. These existing and additional <br /> routes will utilize South Park Street, Badger Road, and the Beltline as collectors to the South <br /> Transfer Point. The South Transfer Point close location to these collectors is critical to <br /> efficiently control the timing required to operate the timed transfer system. <br /> Other sites in a two block area of the Badger Road and South Park Street Intersection were <br /> investigated. No other sites in this area meet the size constraints and provided for an efficient <br /> bus movement that a six bus Transfer Point requires. <br /> The South Transfer Point is currently zoned B-1. Madison Metro is requesting a Conditional Use <br /> Permit from Dane County to operate the South Transfer Point in the Town of Madison as <br /> governmental use.
