Comments for “Central Durham Bus Rapid Transit Interactive Map”
-
Possible spot for eastbound stop.
-
This is an obvious place for a stop, but agree with other commenter that the intersection needs help.
-
This stop, where the bus has no where to pull over because of the bike lane/stobs, is already screwing up traffic. This needs to be resolved, not worsened.
-
Essential to have stops both direction at Main/9th-Erwin. Could be closer to Iredell or west of the Wells Fargo, but not too far. Some kind of pedestrian safely measures would be necessary.
-
Place stops at Main/Anderson and Erwin/Anderson both directions.
-
Consider taking the western terminus all the way down to here.

Good place for stops for Hock Plaza, Douglas St. and Research Dr.
-
Essential stops, both sides.

I used the stops here on the old Connector to get to and from the Cancer Center and Duke South clinics—very useful.

Please fo not waste the considerable efforts that have made this a pleasant spot by putting in an over scale bus shelter, or by taking out those few parking spaces for a bus stop. There is an existing bus shelter eastbound just past Foster St. Westbound stop at the History Hub would be good, maybe even an eastbound stop opposite is at the Amtrak parking gravel lot (city-owned). Traffic on Main between Five Points and the Loop is about to become awful due to someone allowing a parking deck entrance/exit there for the new Novvus building.

I totally agree that adding a stop or access to Duke's main campus would help SO much, and make it more likely people who work on West Campus would use the BRT. Add in accessibility to the gardens and the Nasher and this has the potential to really make a difference! The hospital is important but Duke is much more than that.

This east-west corridor is one of the few places in Durham that already has 15min service. What is the opportunity cost of not focusing resources on under-served corridors or on regional BRT
-
There is no room for dedicated lanes. How will this be different from the Bull City COnnector that was discontinued?
-
City should overcome the car-brained Robert Moses wannabes at NCDOT and make both Roxboro and Mangum bidirectional to vehicular traffic. This change may impact intersection design and provide different route options for BRT.

Five Points Plaza is a large publicly owned parcel that could very well serve as a 'downtown' hub station.
-
I would like closer access to bus system
-
I echo the comment about the success of Chapel Hill transit being that it also connects campus to Chapel Hill. BRT could enhance those connections for Duke students and help make the ridership increase.
-
What happens to the 3? Will I have to get off the BRT to get the 3?
-
Fix this turn so that the 11 or the BRT doesn't have to go up to Green Street
-
This bus station is completely inhospitable. No shade, no bench, nothing - just a pole in the baking asphalt. Plus there is no crosswalk at this intersection - you have to walk several blocks north or south to cross safely and people regularly drag race on this road. Do better please! More shade and pedestrian safety!
-
The new bus stop here on the south side of the street is a congregating place for people and often feels unsafe to me.
-
Westside Bottling Plant is a large development under construction now on the old Cocoa Cola bottling plant site with apartments, townhomes, and a grocery store. This will catalyze further density and development along this corridor. Consider shifting the bus route to include this stretch of road with essential services (auto stores, harris teeter, walgreens, etc) and use LaSalle street instead of Fulton.
-
There needs to be a stop for duke gardens. This is a treasure and have easy transit access.
-
It's idiotic that Durham Public Schools is moving DSA from one of the most transit accessible locations to a location with zero transit. It would be so much easier for many students to take public transit than school buses. A BRT near the school would be so convenience for staff and students. This property needs to be repurposed as a new school.
