BRT Final Environmental Impact Statement/Report
The project would build bus lanes and BRT stations on arterial streets in the cities of Berkeley, Oakland and San Leandro. The intent of the project is to achieve the speed and reliability of rail using lower cost buses. The project would also include specially designed passenger boarding platforms, shelters, NextBus signs and bus priority at traffic signals. The new service would operate primarily on Telegraph Avenue, International Boulevard and East 14th Street. For more information click here
