Comments for “Central Durham Bus Rapid Transit Interactive Map”
-
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.
-
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
