THE JEROME AVENUE CAPITAL PROJECT WILL REHABILITATE BUS STOPS AND IMPROVE BUS TRANSPORTATION IN THE BRONX, NEW YORK. THE PROJECT INCLUDES BUS PADS AND BUS BULBS, SIDEWALK EXPANSION, INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS, UPDATED LIGHTING, WAYFINDING, AND STREET FURNITURE. THE PROJECT WILL MAKE THE BUS EASIER TO USE AND ENABLE BUS LINES TO OPERATE MORE SMOOTHLY AND WITH SHORTER BUS TIMES. HOLISTICALLY, THESE IMPROVEMENTS WILL REDUCE THE FRICTION BETWEEN MODE TRANSITIONS AND INCREASE BUS RIDERSHIP. BECAUSE OF COLUMNS SUPPORTING THE ELEVATED TRAIN STRUCTURE, BUS STOPS ARE CURRENTLY LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, EXPOSING PASSENGERS TO THE HAZARDS OF VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AND MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO BOARD AND ALIGHT FROM THE BUS. THE PROJECT CENTERS AROUND DEVELOPING SAFE TRANSIT AND PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS UNDERNEATH THE TRAIN. THE PROJECT FULFILLS COMMITMENTS TO UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES PROVIDING SAFETY, QUALITY OF LIFE, AND TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS TO BUS RIDERS.
