Description
Description | The Nanaimo Downtown Exchange project (the Project) includes the construction of an expanded off-street transit exchange on Terminal Avenue at Commercial Street in downtown Nanaimo which is required for future transit expansion in the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN). The exchange also includes an operator respite facility and layover parking nearby on Cavan Street. The operator respite facility will include a prefabricated structure providing washroom and break room facilities; provisions for layover parking; and upgrades to allow safe access, egress and use of the site, and is designed to provide improved operator working conditions. This exchange will support a series of transit service changes that improve bus circulation in the downtown area, and increases to transit service level frequency to develop the Transit Future Network (TFN). The exchange will feature approximately five T5 design bus shelters (20’ & 40’), up to five layover bays with provisions for additional layover parking on Cavan Street and other exchange related improvements to road and pedestrian infrastructure. The Project will be designed to achieve the SAFE Design Standard (Security Achieved through Functional Environmental Design) certification. |
