Description
The Kirkland Transit Center project provides a new transit center on 3rd Street between Central Way and Kirkland Avenue. The project will transform the existing twenty-two-year old facility, improving speed and reliability of bus service, and providing new waiting areas, passenger shelters, and enhanced pedestrian crossings. Signal, intersection, and traffic circulation improvements will increase pedestrian safety while also smoothing traffic flows in the area.
Bicycle amenities, landscaping and public art are also elements of the project.
