Pedestrian Project on Feather River Boulevard to Impact Major Bus Stop

September 28, 2009

A project to build a continuous sidewalk between East and West Linda under Highway 70 is scheduled to begin on October 5th. This project is being funded jointly by Yuba County, Yuba-Sutter Transit and the Federal Transit Administration.

This project will create an accessible path along the north side of Feather River Boulevard between North Beale Road and Garden Avenue (Arboga Road). It will greatly improve both accessibility and pedestrian safety in this highly used corridor while providing ADA access to and from the bus stop at Feather River Boulevard and North Beale Road.

Included in the project is the construction of new curbs, gutters and sidewalks to connect with the existing sidewalk under the freeway. New curb cuts and pedestrian safety improvements will also be provided and the existing bus stop shelter will be repositioned with the new sidewalk to complete the project.

The Feather River Boulevard bus stop will not be in service during this project which is scheduled for completion on or about October 29th. Passengers that now use this stop to catch Route 3 and Route 6 buses will need to use the stops at the North Beale Transit Center where they can catch the same buses on the Walmart side of the road.
