Sanchez on bus lane cost per mile
Sanchez asks for average cost per bus lane mile. Beaton explains costs vary significantly, with red paint at about $4 per square foot, and different lengths and intersection configurations affecting totals.
On average, how much will each bus lane cost to install?
Please be specific.
I might need a moment for that one.
Take your time.
Do we have that?
Yeah, I mean, it does vary quite a bit.
You know, just for example, the red paint is about $4 a square foot in round numbers.
But different lengths of bus lane, if there's more intersections, then you don't have the red paint through the intersection.
The costs are not the same for every.
Every mile in the city.
So this is a tremendous investment that the city has gotten us.
It's why we are planning it out street by street and rather than just saying, here's an average, we're going to use this money to do as many bus lanes as we possibly can.
Thank you.
