Bus Stop Safety Improvement Plan

Bus Stop Improvements The eastbound bus stop on Barton Road at Walin Street is missing a landing pad and connecting sidewalks. The stop is located in a residential area close to retail in Grand Terrace and Colton. As shown in Figure 5-13, this particular bus stop is directly adjacent to a large overgrown lot with a steep slope where a PWL, and eventually a sidewalk when feasible, and possibly a bench should be installed. Connected sidewalks with a standard concrete landing pad would allow riders to safely board or alight the bus. Riders must currently walk in the street to access the last 1,000 feet to the bus stop. An adjacent streetlight and a solar pole light provides illumination to the bus stop. However, the poor road condition, steep slope on the road, and lack of safe sidewalks leading to the bus stop, will limit who can access the bus stop safely and securely. Bus stop improvements to be made to all bus stops at the intersection.

RECOMMENDED BUS STOP IMPROVEMENTS

APPLICABLE STRATEGIES

Install landing pad and bench at the bus stop

1. Include in the cities of Grand Terrace’s and Colton’s CIP programs 2. Pursue grants for construction 3. Coordinate with Omnitrans on amenities

Install sidewalks to the bus stop on Walin Street and along Barton Road. If not currently feasible, install a Protected Walking Lanes (PWL) to the bus stop.

1. Include in the City’s CIP program 2. Include PWL striping into road resurfacing projects or any local redevelopment 3. Pursue grants for construction

Paint a truck apron for turning at the corner to slow traffic near the bus stop

1. Include striping into road resurfacing projects or any local redevelopment 2. Include in the City’s CIP program

Paint traffic lanes to clearly reduce to one lane in the southbound direction, then explore opportunity for a bus bulb with a bicycle bypass lane.

1. Include lane re-striping into road resurfacing projects or any local redevelopment 2. Include in the City’s CIP program 3. Coordinate with Omnitrans on design of the bus bulb out

Ensure existing sidewalk is cleared of overgrown vegetation

1. City to provide regular maintenance of sidewalk condition on Walin Street
