BACKGROUND: On September 12, 2023, the City Transit Trust approved the scope and fee contract submitted by Wendel WD Architecture. Since that approval, the majority of the project timeline has been dedicated to completing the NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) environmental review and conducting a geotechnical investigation, both of which were essential prerequisites prior to commencing construction with federal funding.
As the project has evolved, the scope of work has been adjusted to divide it into three distinct phases. The first phase focuses on the development of the transfer center at the designated site, located on a parcel of land between SE B Ave and SE D Ave along SE Larance St. The design and renderings for this phase were approved by the Transfer Center Site Selection Committee on February 5, 2025.
Wendel is now prepared to present the 30% design drawings, cost estimates, and accompanying report to the City Transit Trust for review and approval.
