In Spring/Summer 2025, PRT’s contractor will install a 30-foot bus shelter with an ADA compliant loading zone.

Station amenities include a ticket vending machine, emergency phone, security camera(s), seating, lighting and new wayfinding signage.

Last year, the contractor installed new roadway, new sidewalk and new granite curb. In addition, electrical crews installed a new traffic signal controller box and placed electrical conduit supplying power to the new PRTX station. 

Construction fencing is expected to remain in place until the shelter is installed, and station components have been tested, which is expected to be in Spring/Summer 2025.
