SITKA BUS TURNAROUND/STOP
The Sitka Tribe of Alaska (STA) provided over $700,000 out of STA's Tribal Transportation Program (previously known as Indian Reservation Roads) funds for a new bus turnaround/stop.
The prior bus stop was located on a road way and was unsafe for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Now this bus turnaround/stop is nicely lighted and is much more safe. The project was completed in June, 2014.
These funds were wholly funded through STA, separate from any transit funding.
The property is owned by the City & Borough of Sitka. A negotiated agreement was put in place prior to beginning the construction project.
