CDTA Bus Stops Improvements Concept Plans

The Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) has requested professional transportation planning and engineering expertise through the Adirondack / Glens Falls Transportation Council (A/GFTC) to formulate conceptual plans for access and operational improvements to several existing public transit stops along CDTA’s established service routes in the Glens Falls urban area. A/GFTC and CDTA staffs have developed an initial listing of eight (8) candidate sites / locations for stop improvements based upon ridership, opportunities for improvement, and need. Depending upon the existing characteristics of the stops, focus areas of the concept plans will include: 1. Access improvements to the stop sites, including pedestrian, bicycle, and ADAAG accommodations and traffic control considerations 2. Stop location optimization and consolidation, including recommendations to better align stop locations with existing infrastructure and traffic control 3. Passenger amenities and accommodation upgrades 4. Conceptual cost estimates The initial candidate sites identified include: · East Washington Street (near Ridge Street intersection), Glens Falls · Glen Street (near Goodwin Avenue intersection), Glens Falls · Broadway stop locations cluster, Fort Edward · Main Street stop locations cluster, Hudson Falls · Warren County Municipal Center · Glen Street near YMCA, Glens Falls · Northway Plaza, Route 9, Queensbury · Upper Glen Street at Market 32, Queensbury Staff from A/GFTC (the project sponsor) will establish and lead a project steering committee to provide guidance to the consultant during the progression of this study.
