Description: The Preliminary Recommended Plan proposes additional express bus services in the Region, and improvements to the existing express bus services that would not be replaced by rapid transit lines. In the Milwaukee area, the express route serving 27th street would be extended north to Brown Deer Road and south to Northwestern Mutual’s Franklin Campus, and both that route and the express route serving Sherman Boulevard would see increased frequency. Additional express routes would be added on 76th St. in Milwaukee County, traveling from the Ives Groves Park-Ride to the Corinne Reid-Owens Transit Center in Racine, traveling from Twin Lakes to the Metra Station in Kenosha County, and connecting the western part of the City of Racine to the western part of the City of Kenosha. Stops would be spaced at least one-half mile apart, and therefore the services would provide better travel times than local bus routes. Express services in Milwaukee County would come at least every 15 minutes nearly the entire day, and services in Kenosha and Racine Counties would come every 15 minutes during the peak and every 30 minutes at other times. Fares would be identical to those charged for rapid and local fixed-route services.
