Evaluation Criteria Methodology
Framework Components:
Transportation Accommodation: ability to provide a balance of access
by all modes including streetcar, bus, bike, and commuter and high speed
regional rail
Civic Presence / Visibility: ability to anchor a neighborhood or district by
creating a sense of place and forming a gateway to the city
Economic Development: ability to provide a combination of development
potential on vacant or underutilized parcels in a desirable, walkable location
Auto / Pedestrian Access: ability of the street system to provide a
walkable environment while providing capacity for automobile drop-off and
parking
Tier 11 Siittee Evvaalluaattiion
Evaluation Criteria Methodology
Scoring Methodology:
(-) Poor: Does not meet minimum requirements for respective
framework component without significant infrastructure
modifications
(o) Good: Meets minimum requirements or allows for future
accommodation of framework component with minor
modifications
(+) Excellent: provides current accommodation of framework component
without need for significant alterations or improvements
Each component is assigned a ranking and the resulting average score is
determined for each location. Site locations receiving a score of good (o) to
excellent (+) are advanced to a Tier 2 screening process.

Issues and Items to be Considered
Ability to accommodate space needs of the facility & parking
Flexibility for future expansion of rail and facility
Pedestrian connections to key destinations
Need to create a gateway to Bricktown and Downtown
Use of elevated rail platform as a pedestrian connection?
Use of Site 8 as the high speed rail option if not feasible to
bring high speed rail into downtown core
Linkage with existing COTPA Bus Transfer Center
Consider all service areas for future commuter rail links
