The 10th and 11th street transit boarding islands project consists of the design for 17 transit boarding islands for VTA buses on 10th Street, 11th Street, San Salvador Street, and San Fernando Street in San Jose, CA.
At the intersections, the project will install concrete islands near the corners that will serve several purposes. First, the concrete islands would slow down turning vehicles, which will create safer crossings for both pedestrians and bicycle users. Second, the concrete islands would help guide vehicle access to the frontage lane and driveways. Third, the concrete islands would provide a location to wait for and board the bus.
The end result is to create safer crossings for pedestrians and bicycle users, increase traffic calming measures, and provide overall ADA improvements.
