• Abstract:
  The Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works is proposing the construction of a transportation system in the San Juan Metropolitan Area that will use water and land transportation modes. The proposed project will connect, by means of a waterway, Old San Juan and Catano with the New Center of San Juan in Hato Rey. Almost 2 miles of the Martin Pena Channel will be dredged and upgraded to improve its navigability. A 180' wide channel between bulkheads is preferred over the other five waterway alternatives considered. Improvements to the existing terminal facilities at Old San Juan and Catano are contemplated. The construction of a new multimodal terminal facility in Hato Rey is part of the proposed project. To serve the new terminal from land, four different alternatives for busways were considered in order to connect it with Plaza Las Americas Shopping Center and Bithorn/Clemente Sport Complex. The busway along the metro right-of-way is preferred. This document discusses and analyses the impact of each alternative as well as the No-Build alternative.
