Sec. 8.11.3. Determining the Required Transit Infrastructure

When the provisions of Sec. 8.11.1.B. are met, the following transit infrastructure will be required. The infrastructure elements shall meet the typical specifications as shown in the Raleigh Street Design Manual.

  1. Transit Easement
    When the transit stop is located outside of the right-of-way, a permanent 15' x 20' transit easement dedicated to the City of Raleigh shall be required on the development site.
  2. Landing Pad
    A concrete pad is required in all cases between the public sidewalk and the back of curb. The minimum width of the landing pad requirement for a transit stop (the area from which passengers board the bus and onto which passengers alight from the bus) is 30 feet. Landing pads shall fill the entire depth between the back of the curb and the public sidewalk. In cases where the depth of this area exceeds 10 feet, or in cases where curb does not exist, special accommodations may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Where placement of the landing pad conflicts with an existing or proposed street tree, the installation of a landing pad shall take precedence.
  3. Transit Stop Pad
    A concrete pad measuring 15' x 20' behind the public sidewalk, upon which all transit infrastructure is permanently installed.
  4. Sidewalk Connectivity
    Sidewalks should be constructed to connect the transit stop to the nearest existing sidewalk or public street intersection.
  5. Trash Receptacle
    Trash receptacles shall be provided at the transit stop in all cases.
  6. Seating
    Seating shall be provided in all cases where a transit stop is required.
  7. Transit Shelter
    A transit shelter shall be provided at the required transit stop. 

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transportation Director may approve an equivalent alternate design.
