A new transit boarding island is coming soon to 8th Street between Market Street and Stevenson Street. In coordination with a sewer upgrade effort, construction will begin in late-September and will last until late-November.
The transit boarding island will provide more space and reliability for transit passengers, and a protected space for bicyclists between the sidewalk and boarding island.
Traffic/Transit Impact
- Please follow posted signage to locate the closest 19 Polk bus stop during construction.
- At times, there may be temporary lane closures as crews perform work resulting in possible travel delays. Please plan to allow for extra travel time during construction due to possible delays.
- Traffic will be routed around construction activity as necessary, but will not be detoured. Pedestrian pathways and access to driveways and commercial/residential buildings will be maintained at all times.
