To support the route changes proposed by the NEXTransit Downtown Plan, temporary bus boarding platforms are being installed next to the sidewalk within the right-of-way.
These temporary platforms will provide ease of access for bus boarding and alighting and add to sidewalk space at bus stops where high numbers of riders are expected. Downtown already has a similar temporary bus boarding platform on Liberty Avenue near Smithfield Street. Learn more about the locations of these platforms and what to expect below.
Platform Locations
The following locations as shown on the map, will have temporary bus boarding platforms:
- Forbes Avenue at Grant Street
- Wood Street at Sixth Avenue
- Penn Avenue and Stanwix Street
- Fort Duquesne Boulevard at Sixth Street
- Wood Street at Forbes Avenue – on hold due to other non-PRT related projects
