Bus Stop Improvements The bus stops on Del Rosa Avenue at East Highland Avenue supports a high volume of riders and should be developed as a Standard Bus Stop based on Omnitrans’ Transit Design Guidelines criteria. As shown in Figure 5-25, the northbound stop on Del Rosa Avenue is adjacent to a commercial shopping center with numerous stores and restaurants. This bus stop has one shelter and another bench without a shelter. Bus stops at this location are on wide sidewalks that support the bus shelters in both the eastbound and westbound directions, on both the north and south sides of the street. Adjacent parking lot lighting provides additional illumination at night. As shown in street-view photo, the roadway’s gutter pan is in need of repair at the Del Rosa northbound farside. With regular activity due to the adjacent retail stores and restaurants, explore opportunities for placemaking such as re-purposing or activating parking spaces, bulb outs, and other areas near the bus stop with art or a pocket park. Bus stop improvements to be made to all bus stops at the intersection.
