Closed bus stops with alternative stops

Fresno Area Express (FAX) received a $2.2 million grant from federal, state, and local funds to upgrade 19 bus stops throughout the FAX fixed-route system.  The funding will provide an accessible location to wait for the bus and an accessible pathway for passengers to get to and from the sidewalk to a median bus island bus stop.  Improvements include:  adding or enlarging concrete bus stop landings, construction curb cuts, and adding new bus stop amenities such as shelters, benches and trash receptacles.

A notification has been sent to residents and businesses who may be impacted by construction.
