New bus shelter in the works for Frederick Avenue
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- St. Joseph transit riders will see a new bus stop added along the main corridor to Downtown.
City councilmembers are expected to vote a $25,000 real estate contract Monday with Goldenho LLC to acquire property at 2001-2005 Frederick Avenue, just west of Lehr Construction
If approved, the city plans to build a new transit bus shelter on the property to help support faster headways, improve overall system reliability and provide a designated space for bus drivers to pull off of Frederick Avenue so passengers can safely access the bus.
St. Joseph Transit currently services eight fixed routes within the city limits of St. Joseph and Elwood, Kansas.
The development also comes after the recent launch of a new transit transfer station on East Hills Shopping Center property, by the library.
St. Joseph has seen the number of paid passengers jump from 240,794 in 2023 to 267,976 in 2025, while the number of trips also increased from 299,677 to 325,460, a roughly 14% increase.
