Working to make stops safer and more accessible
Proposed upgrades
The 8 Bayshore: Visitacion Valley Stop Improvements Project proposes upgrades to seven stops in Visitacion Valley and Sunnydale. Our designs include six bus bulbs -- areas next to a bus stop where the sidewalk is wider. The “front-door” bulbs we are proposing maximize parking for local communities. You can learn the details on our project webpage.
The proposed upgrades also include a boarding island and protected bike lane at one stop on Geneva Avenue. Where possible, we would also improve stops with new lighting, shelters and signage.
How riders would benefit
The upgrades we are proposing are designed to:
- Improve safety by reducing cross distances and increasing visibility
- Improve accessibility by allowing buses to deploy ramps at curbs
- Reduce transit travel time by making it faster and easier for riders to board
- Provide a more comfortable experience with improved stops and wider sidewalks
