Shattuck-MLK Bus Stops Project

The Woolsey-Fulton Bike Boulevard Project and Shattuck-MLK Bus Stops Project are being constructed together as the South Berkeley Bikeway and Bus Stop Improvements Project. Refer to the South Berkeley Bus Stop Improvements Project for updated construction information.

Shattuck-MLK Bus Stops Project improvements include relocating bus stops to the far side of the intersection and installing shelters, seating, and bus bulbs where feasible. Relocating bus stops from near- to far-side of an intersection generally allows the bus stop length to be shorter, can reduce traffic congestion (especially by vehicles behind a bus that need to turn onto another street), and improves visibility of disembarked transit riders crossing the street (as they would not be obscured by the bus).

FUNDING SOURCE

The Shattuck-MLK Bus Stops Project is funded in part by a $553,000 State of California Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) grant.  The project comprises Transit Related Amenities (TRA) to be implemented by the City as a condition of AHSC grant funding for private development projects at 2527 San Pablo Ave. and 2001 Ashby Ave.

Other project funding includes Alameda County Measure BB discretionary funds, as allocated by the Alameda County Transportation Commission.
