8.A. - Page 53 of 77 Bus Stop Design Buses along EI Camino currently travel in the same lane as cars and pull out into the parking lane at bus stops to pick up passengers at the curb. Before the protected bike lanes are installed, bus stops along the corridor will need to be carefully designed in order to maintain a consistent level of comfort for bicyclists traveling in the protected bikeway. Based on community preferences voiced during the Corridor Plan and this study, the design should prioritize transit shelters and eliminate mixing of buses and bikes. Based on the available width to the back of the sidewalk and feedback from the Complete Streets Advisory Committee, the preferred bus stop design allows the bus to stop in the travel lane to accommodate space for a raised bike lane, transit shelter, and a separate bus boarding island. Trade-offs for this design are noted below.
