23rd Street and Frederick Avenue bus stop to relocate

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- The St. Joseph City Council is looking at an ordinance for the relocation of a bus stop located at 23rd Street and Frederick Avenue.

The St. Joseph Transit purchased a parcel of land located at 20th Street and Frederick Avenue to construct and relocate a current bus stop on 23rd Street and Frederick Avenue, a move that aims to enhance safety for transit operators, employees, passengers and the general public.

The ordinance would authorize an amendment to the Mass Transit fund for $121,553.94 to be paid to Auxier Construction Company.

The new location will have designated bus cut-outs, allowing buses to pull out of the travel lane and safely wait without obstructing traffic flow.

The location will also have installed shelters equipped with solar lighting, which will increase visibility for individuals waiting at the stop. It will also improve safety for both riders and approaching buses.
