Beginning April 14-28, new concrete pavement slabs will be
installed along the east side of Huron Street between Orange
and Cherry Streets. Concrete will also be added on some of
the current grassy areas to provide a customer outdoor
waiting area and this will be the future location of newly
designed bus shelters to be installed later this year. The
project dates and length are dependent upon weather
conditions.
During the pavement improvement project, TARTA received
approval from the City of Toledo Division of Transportation
to temporarily stage four buses on Orange Street between
Superior and Erie Streets that serve Routes 26, 28, 32 and
34. See the map below for details.
Parking meters will be temporarily bagged during this time
and only available for TARTA buses. TARTA ambassadors will
be onsite this week to assist our customers with this
alternative line-up and to ensure little disruption to local
businesses and customers.
“When the project is completed, our customers will enjoy
safer sidewalks and an outdoor waiting plaza to replace the
current grass,” said Chief Communications and Customer
Experience Officer Laura Koprowski. “Later this year, we
will install several modern, covered bus shelters and
matching trash cans. It should provide enhanced amenities
for our customers and elevate the look of the Hub as a
downtown property.”
At TARTA’s upcoming Board of Trustees meeting on Thursday,
April 15, the agenda includes review and approval of
purchasing a total of 10 newly designed, modern bus
shelters. Four of the shelters will be erected at the
Transit Hub.
According to Koprowski, plans to re-open the Transit Hub’s
inside customer center are being discussed and dependent
upon being able to provide a safe environment for TARTA
customers and employees as the region continues to respond
to the COVID-19 pandemic.
TARTA’s Rider Information Line is available to answer
questions about the project and alternate bus line-up at
419-243-7433 Monday through Saturday. Details are also
