Union Station to Highway 291

(Route 3)

Plan View

       This route somewhat follows the 23rd Street corridor.  A possible alternate location would be to angle over to the 12th street corridor.  These alignments allows the rapid underground route to use existing bridging over the Blue River. A possible spur route can tie into the stadiums which are just south of the East Blue River Station.

     Elevations taken from USGS topographic maps at quarry sites were used to help set the elevation of the Bethany Falls Limestone formation.  For preliminary design of alignments, a satelite positioning device should be used to affirm the elevations used in this proposal.   Quarry sites for elevation verification are located off a possible 95th Street Station location and also just south east of the Blue River Station location.
