Duke Street is the City’s highest ridership transit corridor with almost 3,000 boardings a day. The Duke Street Transitway project will make Duke Street a premier transit corridor with faster and more reliable bus service and improved access to more comfortable bus stops. This project has been in the City’s plans since 2008 and the City is currently working to develop updated concept designs that not only improve transit in the corridor, but also make it a safer experience for all users, while enhancing green space. The Project Team is currently evaluating the following concepts and doing targeted outreach before presenting results from the Team’s analysis in the Spring:

·        Segment 2A (Jordan to Wheeler): Hybrid and Mixed Traffic

·        Segment 2B (Wheeler to Roth): Bidirectional and Mixed Traffic

·        Segment 3: Center and Curb Running

·        Center Running will still be considered in the long-term for Segment 2
