Cool Springs Multimodal Transportation Study JUN_2015_Final Cool_Springs_Report

Regional Express Bus Network Murfreesboro Express This express bus would run from Murfreesboro to a new Franklin-Cool Springs Transit Center via Tennessee Route 96. In Murfreesboro, the route would have the advantage of connecting with the local ROVER transit service at Walnut and Burton. Stops would be established in Murfreesboro at Walnut and Burton (Murfreesboro Central) and Thompson Lane and Hwy 96 (Thompson Lane); Almaville Road and Hwy 96 (Almaville Road); and two limited stops on Carothers Parkway at Williamson Medical Center and Liberty Pike. Park & Ride locations would be at Thompson Lane (shared lot at Walmart), at Almaville Road (newly constructed lot). The Almaville Road lot would serve the large amount of Smyrna workers journeying to the Cool Springs area, and should have enough initial spaces for 100 cars, with room to double the lot, if necessary. Cool Springs | Multimodal Transportation Network Study Spring Hill Express This express bus would run from Columbia to a new Franklin-Cool Springs Transit Center via US Route 412 and I-65. The route would have an intermediate stop at the current 95X Park & Ride at the Spring Hill Kroger on Port Royal. Northway Shopping Center, a shopping plaza with an excess of parking, is envisioned as a shared lot for commuters on this route. This route would serve Maury County, which provides about 3,000 workers to the Cool Springs area. This route would be a good candidate for exploring shoulder riding (see Section 4.3) between Tennessee Route 396, since the High Occupancy Vehicle lanes end at Murfreesboro Road on I-65. 29
