5.07 Transit Stops
Access to existing transit stops should be maintained to retain access and associated pathways should follow standards similar to other temporary pathways. Consult the local transit agency regarding the proposed work zone and impacts to pedestrians and transit operations.
Temporary stops should be provided when existing transit stops cannot be maintained. They should include a level landing for waiting passengers and a hard-surfaced path to connect to the adjacent pedestrian facilities. Signing should be updated to direct riders to the new stop.
Accommodations for transit passengers with disabilities are to be considered. Transit vehicles typically have ramps or other ADA compliant methods to allow wheelchair access to transit vehicles. The design of temporary transit stops should accommodate these riders and the transit system vehicles. For more information see division 8-800 Incidental Construction template Special Provision for Temporary Bus Stop.
When a transit stop cannot be maintained, closure may be considered with agreement from the transit agency.
