Long View for Transit Connectivity
13Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc.
The interface at Bergamot is not set up for expansion of connecting bus, van, or car share (Uber) services. Challenges –• No dedicated place for vehicles to linger – car, bus, van, shuttle…• Challenging turns, can’t get to 26th Street from the north• Rail to bus transfer passengers must cross Olympic Blvd for some
transfers• Freeway ramp traffic hinders accessOpportunities –• Enhancement of bus – rail connections also enhances transit access
for Bergamot users• Transit brings pedestrian life and vitality without associated cars• Solving logistical challenges opens up possibilities for the
connections people will want – bus, shuttles, Airport Fly-Away, Uber, etc.
