The contractor continues to make progress on completing the final phase of the State of Good Repair (SOGR) Bus Stop Improvements Project.  Construction started in December 2018 on a series of upgrades to local bus stops to improve passenger amenities and Americans with Disabilities (ADA) access. The rainy weather pattern continues to impact the schedule for installing improvements.

This week (March 18-22) has been no exception with only two sunny days to schedule work. Next week doesn't offer much relief but we plan to use the time to focus on paperwork and coordination tasks.  In spite of the inclement weather patterns, of the eleven bus stop locations across the county, the project has only two stops remaining:

• Tiburon Blvd & Greenwood Cove Rd
• Bellam Boulevard & E. Francisco Boulevard

We are counting on April gifting us with drier weather to install the planned improvements. The next update will share the poposed construction dates. If you have any questions about the project or construction activity, contact Adrienne Taylor at 415 226-0855 or ataylor@marintransit.org.
