How much right-of-way is required?
The double guideway construction footprint is 100 feet wide. This
includes the width needed to operate the dual guideway system, space
for construction and equipment access, noise berms or walls, landscaping
treatments, and wayside features including switching stations, emergency
and auxiliary stopping areas. The guideway is completely separated
from pedestrians and traffic, but can be constructed at-grade, in
tunnel or elevated. If constructed at grade, the alignment would
be fenced to assure public safety. Due to the high operating speeds,
curves and grades must be gradual.
