at Phillip Avenue. The BRTexclusive guideway would
connue east in the median of Laskin Road unl it reaches
Birdneck Road. The configuraon of Laskin Road including
the BRT guideway would be similar to the proposed LRT
configuraon, including an elevated structure over First
Colonial Road. At Birdneck Road, the BRT vehicles would
exit the exclusive guideway and turn south on Birdneck
Road. BRT would operate in mixed traffic on Birdneck Road
and 19th
Street unl it reaches the terminal staon at the
Oceanfront Resort Area.
2.1.2StaonsStaon locaons have been idenfied for the alignment
alternaves under consideraon. These staons would be
accessible by pedestrians, buses, cars, and bicycles.
Parking would be available at many of the staon sites,
while others would be walkon only. The parking locaons
are idenfied in the descripons of the staons on the
following pages.
The sta
on boarding pla
orms are ini
ally planned toaccommodate one bus rapid transit vehicle or one light rail
vehicleapproximately 90 feet in length. The sites
idenfied would allow for the future expansion of the
plaorms for use with twocar vehicle sets.
While this project is currently early in the planning and
conceptual design phase, there will be typical characteriscs
incorporated in all staons. Staon amenies for light rail
and bus rapid transit staons would be similar to those
currently found on The Tide. Staon designs would provide
accommodaons for the needs of all users, including the
elderly and persons with disabilies.
Standard services and ameni
es include:
Vicinity map(s) (kiosk)
Bicycle parking
Bus service with bus shelters
Kiss & Ride dropoffarea
Security cameras
Emergency callbox
Plaorm canopies
Plaorm lighng
Benches
Trash receptacles
Fare vending machines

North Oceana Staon
The NorthOceanaStaon(Figure2.111)would be located
on Poers Road west of Air Staon Drive. A surface Park &
Ride lot with approximately 275 parking spaces to serve the
staon would be located on a Cityowned parcel located
north of the former NSRR ROW. This site is currently used
for construcon material disposal and emergency storm
debris storage. The staon would have two side plaorms.
HRT bus service would be provided to the staon along
Poers Road. The immediate area of development for the
staon and parking would be approximately 6.2 acres.
The LynnhavenStaon(Figure2.110) would be located along the former NSRR
ROW near the intersecon of North Lynnhaven Road and Southern Boulevard.
This staon would have two side plaorms. A parking area to serve the staon
would be located on the north side of Southern Boulevard, an area that is
currently occupied by a small office building and an adjacent paved parking lot.
Both the building and the exisng parking lot would be removed to accommodate
a Park & Ride lot with approximately 184 parking spaces. The southwest poron
of the Park & Ride lot would be reserved for a proposed tracon power substaon
(TPSS). HRT bus service would be provided to the sta
on along SouthernBoulevard. The area of development for the staon and the parking lot is
approximately 3.0 acres.

Virginia Beach Convenon Center and the Citys proposed
19thStreet Corridor Improvement Plan. The construcon ofthe staon would require modificaon of 19

adjacent parking lots, and areas of the Virginia Beach
Convenon Center plazas.
The ConvenonCenterStaon(Figure2.112B) for
Alternave 3 would have a center plaorm in 19th

west of the Virginia Beach Convenon Center. A new Park
& Ride lot is not planned for this staon, but adjacent
Convenon Center parking lots could be used by transit
patrons when space is available. The design of the transit

would use the staon for special events. There is no new
Park & Ride lot associated with this staon, but the exisng

Oceanfront Staon
The eastern endofline OceanfrontStaon(Figure2.113)
for the proposed NSRR Alternave is at 19th
Street between
Arcc and Balc Avenues. This staon would serve the
Oceanfront Resort Area and future development on City
owned property in the vicinity. A new Cityowned parking
garage is under development directly north of the proposed
staon. The Oceanfront Staon would be a center plaorm
in a new median on 19th
Street. The staon would be
designed to accommodate high passenger loads that would
be expected at this staon during the summer and for
special events. The staon and the surrounding amenies
would be coordinated with the design of the Citys
proposed 19th
Street corridor improvement plan. Transfers
to HRT bus service would be provided at nearby bus stops
located in coordinaon with proposed developments.
Great Neck Staon
The GreatNeckStaon(Figure2.114)would be located on
an elevated structure across Virginia Beach Boulevard west
of Great Neck Road. This staon would have a center
plaorm, and pedestrian access would be from elevators
and stairways on both sides of Virginia Beach Boulevard. A
surface Park & Ride lot with approximately 250 spaceswould be provided south of the staon. A bus loading area
for HRT bus service is proposed adjacent to the Park & Ride.
The total area of development for this staon would be
approximately 6.1 acres.

Hilltop West Staon
The HilltopWestStaon(Figure2.115)would be located
atgrade in the median of Laskin Road between Republic
Road and the Hilltop Plaza Shopping Center entrance. It is
proposed as a center plaorm staon with access from the
intersecon at the Hilltop Plaza Shopping Center entrance.
This intersecon would include pedestrian signal phases
and crosswalks to access the staon from the north and
south sides of Laskin Road. This staon is proposed as a
pedestrian/cyclist walk/rideup staon with no designated
Park & Ride lot. HRT bus service would be provided to the
staon along Laskin Road.
Hilltop East Staon
The HilltopEastStaon(Figure2.116)would be a center
plaorm located atgrade in the median of Laskin Road near
the Hilltop East Shopping Center. A surface Park & Ride lot
for this staon with approximately 250 spaces is proposed
on the south side of Laskin Road east of Winwood Drive.
The developed area of this site is approximately 3.0 acres.The proposed Park & Ride site is approximately 650 feet
east of the staon plaorm, and a new paved sidewalk
would be provided to connect the two locaons. Pedestrian
signal phases and crosswalks would be provided to access
the staon from the north and south sides of Laskin Road.
HRT bus service would be provided to the staon with bus
stops along Laskin Road.
