Alternative Ramp Layout
Comparison of Alternatives
ALTERNATIVE COST ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
ALTERNATIVE 1A/1B $ 15 million
Least Costly Alternative
Direct Access from Local Road
Minimal Impacts to Railroad Sidings
Furthest from existing CR Station
Abutter Impacts – Jefferson Avenue
Lawrence St. and Ocean Ave. West
Further away from SSU and NSMC
Drop-off area would be on Jefferson
ALTERNATIVE 2A/2B $ 18 million
Better access to SSU and NSMC
Better Parking & Drop-Off Area Potential
Most conventional layout for CR Station
Abutter Impacts - Lawrence Street and
Ocean Ave. West
Impacts to the Future Bike Path
More RR Track & Signal work needed
ALTERNATIVE 3 $ 20 million
Fewer Abutter Impacts
Sufficient ROW to construct
Good access to SSU & NSMC
Most Costly Alternative
More RR Track & Signal work needed
Inbound side further away from SSU –
potential safety & security issues
ALTERNATIVE 4A/4B $ 18 million
Least impacts to Railroad Sidings
Fewer Abutter Impacts
Sufficient ROW to construct
Further away from SSU and NSMC
Closest to existing Salem CR Station
More RR Track & Signal work needed
Impacts to Future Bike Path
Requires wall reconstruction (into tunnel)
ALTERNATIVE 2C $ 20 million
Same as Alternative 2A & 2B (better
access to SSU and NSMC, better parking
& drop-off area potential; conventional)
Reduces impacts to Abutters
Reduces impacts to the Future Bike Path
Still some Abutter Impacts - Lawrence
Street and Ocean Ave. West (but better
potential for screening)
More RR Track & Signal work needed
