Description
Pedestrians wishing to get from the area north of SE 24th St to the bus stops (and future Link station) by the park-and-ride currently must take a long "detour" around the park-and-ride's surrounding roads, which adds several hundred meters and several minutes to what is otherwise a very close transit node.
This discourages transit use by making the bus stops on the southern side of the park-and-ride artificially distant to walk to - pedestrians are currently forced to walk all the way around the park-and-ride instead of being able to take a direct path through this structure.
This is a request to open at least one pedestrian "shortcut" through the pictured northern wall of the park-and-ride on SE 24th St. Such a "shortcut" would significantly reduce the time it takes to walk from this neighborhood to the bus stops and vice versa. This will benefit everyone in the area by reducing car traffic but will be especially helpful for residents with limited mobility and those who cannot or choose not to drive.
Making this change will make the area's transit connections much more convenient to use and reduce the number of car trips taken by local residents, which will in turn help save money on roadwork, among other benefits.
