Table 5-14: Census Tract 4 Bus Stop Improvements

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.
