SUBJECT: Update on Northstar Corridor
Project
At the December l0th meeting of the Northstar Corridor Development
Authority discussion centered on preliminary cost estimates and ridership
forecasts.
Preliminary Capital Costs
Preliminary capital cost estimates are included in your packet of information.
Capital costs include items such as:
· vehicles
· central facilities
· terminal trackwork and layup facilities
· Minneapolis CBD station
· corridor segments
Included under vehicles are locomotives and coaches. Included under central
facilities are track work and incidentals, central shop and equipment,
operations and control center, and property acquisition. Included in the
terminal trackwork and layup facilities are the track and layup facilities and
property acquisition. The Minneapolis CBD station includes just the costs
associated with station construction. The final item included in capital costs
are the various corridor segments.
The corridor between Minneapolis and East St. Cloud was divided into
different segments based on the distance between stations. For instance, the
corridor between Elk River and Big Lake was segment F and the corridor
between Anoka/Ramsey and Elk River was segment E. The costs for each of
the segments varied because of the different track improvements and system
upgrades needed. Different parking requirements for the stations, site
development and property acquisition costs also affected segment totals.

Common elements included station platforms and shelters, ticket vending
machines and public address systems.
As part of developing preliminary cost estimates for each station, BRW
needed to include information regarding parking requirements. BRW did not
have the benefit of ridership forecasts when estimating parking
requirements. The cost estimates for the Elk River station included a 500
space parking lot. This estimate is high and will be reduced once the final
ridership analysis is completed.
The preliminary capital costs associated with the Elk River station is
$3,110,000. The costs for trackwork and system upgrades has not been
determined for each individual segment. Overall preliminary capital cost
estimates are as follows:
Corridor segments (Mpls. To E. St. Cloud)
Vehicles
Central Facilities
Terminal Trackwork
Minneapolis CBD
$34,710,000
$42,875,000
$18,760,000
$12,208,000
$ 9,800,000
$115,000,000
Potential Capacity Improvements 30 to 50 Million
Total 145 to 165 million
Preliminary Operational Costs
Preliminary operational costs included the costs of operating the commuter
railroad and the costs of operating a feeder bus service to the various
stations. For Elk River, two feeder bus lines were considered, one down
Highway 169 from Princeton and one from St. Michael. The preliminary
operational costs are as follows:
Commuter Rail $9,500,000
Feeder Bus $ 651,000
Total $10,151,000
The consultants compared these preliminary costs to other start up
commuter systems in the country and found the costs for the Northstar

Mayor and City Council/Northstar

Page 3
Corridor compare quite favorably. They seemed to feel the project is feasible
in terms of both capital and operational costs.
Ridership Forecast
Ridership estimates also came in favorably. Ridership at start up (2003) was
estimated at 7350 rides per day and in the year 2020, increase to 8200 rides
per day. The consultant estimated that in the year 2003, 939 people would
board the train in Elk River and go into Minneapolis. The ridership estimates
were better than average when compared to other commuter railroad
systems. The consultant estimated that 87% of the people riding the train
would be commuting to work and 97% would be commuting in the peak
direction.
CBD Visioning Process
As part of the Central Business District visioning process, the public
improvement committee will be gathering information to assist in possible
station locations and designs. During the initial meeting on October 23rd , one
of the topics that kept being brought up was the desire to have the station
downtown. Other possible locations include east Elk River along Tyler Street
and the northeast side of the Proctor Avenue railroad crossing.

NCDA/BNSF Line Capacity Simulation Results
Line capacity simulations have been performed by BNSF, using the Dispatch Planning Model, to
determine the amount of additional trackage and signaling that will be required to support
commuter rail operations while maintaining the level of freight service that is expected to exist in
the startup year 2003. To do this BNSF first developed a base case with 2003 expected traffic
levels and operational changes. Commuter service was then started on the system and various
capacity improvements were added to gauge their effect. The simulation does not give an optimal
answer automatically but rather is used in a series of iterations to determine impacts of
combinations of capacity improvements.
There are two primary statistical measures that are used by BNSF to determine the impacts of
capacity improvements. The first is freight transit time per 100 miles. This measure indicates by
train class and for all freight trains the time required by a train to go 100 miles. It includes actual
running time, delays due to congestion and meeting other trains, and dwell time at terminals. The
second measure is freight train delay per 100 miles. This is a component of transit time and is the
most important measure of congestion and lack of capacity. These measures are also developed
for Amtrak and commuter trains but are not important indicators as these trains have the highest
dispatching priority and vary little in running time or delay regardless of the number of freight
trains or level of congestion in the system.
The attached status information indicates these key measures for the 2003B base case and a
series of simulations with the commuter train schedules added to the system. Five different
combinations of upgrades are indicated together with the impact on the two key measures
discussed above.
