Document Description
The Wilshire Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project is a rapid transit system operating in the curb lane along the north and south sides of Wilshire Boulevard from Western Avenue to the City of Santa Monica. The Wilshire BRT is intended to provide higher capacity transit service to the Westside area that would improve upon the existing Metro Rapid Bus service through such features as new higher capacity buses, repair of the curb lane in the Wilshire Center, Park MIle and Miracle Mile; enhanced station areas, parking facilities in two locations; an enlarged Downtown bus storage maintenance facility; and a bus only lane (curb lane) in the peak period (if supported by the affected jurisdictions).
