An unidentified presenter displayed a rendering of proposed bus rapid transit (BRT) stations for Federal Boulevard and outlined the design elements intended to make stations easy to locate and use. “Bus rapid transit stations are much different than the bus stops you see on Federal Boulevard today,” the presenter said, introducing the visual tour.

The presenter described features meant to serve riders and neighbors: illuminated vertical signage along the roofline, ticket vending machines and validators, additional seating protected by windscreens, and a darker tactile warning strip along the curb for blind or low-vision patrons. The rendering shows passengers waiting in both seated and standing areas; the presenter said the station canopy provides weather protection and that lighting is cast downward toward the platform to illuminate the station without causing neighborhood light pollution.

The presentation emphasized accessibility and boarding flow. The presenter pointed out designated areas in windscreens for signage, seating and wheelchair positioning, plus additional seating behind the platform and a wide accessible sidewalk to allow pedestrians to pass or access the station. “There are areas in the windscreen shelter for signage, seating, standing, and wheelchairs,” the presenter said.

Project outreach details were provided at the end of the presentation: the presenter invited comments via bit.ly/federalblvdbrt and federalblvdbrt@gmail.com. No decisions, votes or funding details were announced during the presentation.

The rendering and overview are part of public information about the Federal Boulevard BRT design; the presenter encouraged community feedback through the listed website and email address.
