The project includes three mobility hubs and a pedestrian bridge.
Inglewood, California officials have broken ground on the Inglewood Transit Connector. The project will see the creation of three mobility hubs, a pedestrian bridge to the K Line and new downtown streetscaping, Brandon Lewis writes for Mass Transit.
“As part of the project, three mobility hubs along Market Street will add more than 1,000 parking spaces and create designated spaces for rideshare pick-up and drop-off and bike and pedicab access. The Market & Florence hub will also include transit-oriented retail and a ten-bay bus plaza,” Mass Transit reports.
The first phase of the project will require no new tax and will use no money from the General Fund. As part of the project, three streets in Inglewood will get new wayfinding, landscaping and sidewalks.
