It has the potential for a bus/vehicle or bicycle/pedestrian collision because buses cannot pull over to the curb. When Mountain Line and ASUM use the stop to pick up passengers, the bus is forced to stay in the traffic lane because of heavy bike traffic and insufficient space to pull over. This leaves room for bicyclists passing on the right just as passengers are getting on and off the bus, an unsafe conflict. It also prevents most motorists from passing on the left of the bus, but some motorists do attempt to move around the bus and face oncoming traffic creating another serious conflict. In addition, the bus stop is not accessible to persons with disabilities. To address this problem, we would like to install a concrete pad from the existing sidewalk to the edge of curb, creating a curb line that is consistent with the rest of the block. We would like to repaint the bike lanes to indicate a need for caution at this location. Spent in Prior Years ---PAGE BREAK--- Program Category: 10 Project # Community Service CS-17 Yes No 1.

Instructions For Explanation of Criteria) Qualitative Analysis Comments Project Rating Project Title: Arthur & South Bus Stop Improvements Although this is not an imenent emergency, the deferred improvements to public infrastructure to bring them up to date with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) are ongoing and must be addressed. Improved passenger loading will marginally increase air quality through reduced idling time. Improved sidewalks, handicapped accessibility, and safe access to transit expand upon necessary and effective city services. Community Livability Goal of the Stratgic Plan Quantitative Analysis Comments This is a reasonably low cost way to improve pedestrain and bicycle safety on South Avenue at Arthur Street and to provide critical transit access to persons with disabilities. No auto/pedestrain/bicycle conflict.
