Comments for “Central Durham Bus Rapid Transit Interactive Map”
-
Add a stop along Duke University to facilitate community access to Duke Gardens and the museums
-
Add a stop near the Erwin/Research intersection to support travel to this part of Duke campus and the clinics near the shopping center
-
Consider extending this service along the 15-501 shoulders or median and eventually connecting with Chapel Hill.
-
Finish the Durham Rail Trail to better connect potential riders with the proposed service
-
More bicycle and pedestrian connectivity in this area to better connect riders with the service
-
Is this an ideal end point? I would like to see data that backs this up and hear if there are any plans to eventually build from this and extend the corridor to RDU or RTP.

Consider serving Durham Tech
-
Consider serving other regional anchors like NC Central

The City should determine the feasibility of making Holloway and Liberty one-way streets where one lane is dedicated to private vehicle traffic, one is dedicated to public buses and emergency vehicles, and one is dedicated to bicyclists. This would ease congestion from bus-only lanes on any one street without replicating the harmful one-way conversion of Roxboro and Mangum/Duke and Vickers

Quick access to the Durham Crisis Response Center would allow even more people to get help they might need
-
Connect our to Target & Li Ming’s!

Long Meadow Park would be a great location for a stop especially with the new bonds that will be improving it and connecting it to East End Park. Also there are baseball fields right next door. I think Liberty Street as a whole would be a great corridor since the Main Library is located on Liberty too.

This area is a great reason to provide late-night transit service. A lot of bars, restaurants, and new housing. A connection to downtown and West Durham could be great for connecting the city.
-
A faster transit connection between downtown and 9th St would be a great draw.
-
These parks really should be incorporated into the transit line. It would be a great endpoint for the line
-
With all of the new housing around the Mineral Springs/Sherron Rd, it would be good to have a park and ride area around here to be able to go downtown. However, I worry about safety in this area--lots of burglaries, larcenies, robberies, car thefts, and assaults around the N Miami/Holloway area. There are 100+ incidents in about a 5 block radius since the beginning of the year.

use all the extra, unused space around the freeway for BRT tracks
-
There's a Reddit thread about this project, and some people are asking for park-and-rides that could serve this BRT line. Perhaps one could go here?

Cocoa Cinnamon, Locopop, and other great hole-in-the-wall local businesses are around here!
-
The idea for regional rail for the Triangle is just on hold - and we haven't given up on it for good, right? If so, I think there should be some thought put into how a train station can be seamlessly connected to future BRT platforms, and commuters can easily transfer to get to where they need.
-
I'm looking forward to the Durham Rail Trail happening here!
-
They keep saying that American Tobacco will expand, and have farmers markets etc. here. That would be another nice draw for BRT riders - if that ever happens.
-
I saw a cyclist almost get hit by a car here - only for the car's driver to stop and assault the cyclist, and for another driver to victim-blame that cyclist afterwards. Can BRT infrastructure be designed to make things like less likely to happen?
-
I've seen a lot of traffic get backed up here, as well as cars almost running into each other - especially as a downstream effect of people turning in and out of Harris Teeter. This would make me use BRT for shopping - if only there was a way for me to carry around 2 weeks of groceries, without a car.

There's almost always a sea of broken glass on the sidewalks here because Shooters is nearby. This definitely doesn't make it feel safer to walk around here...
