Project Need & Project Description
Purpose Provide riders with an ADA compliant bus stop (complete with seating, shelter,
signage, and pedestrian access)that will provide a direct connection to some of
Apple Valley's best community resources: Army National Guard Armory, Desert
Mountain Educational Service Center, Desert Mountain Plaza Shopping Center,
Spirit River Cafe, Landmark Medical Facility, and Alaska Federal Credit Union. The
proposed project will replace the existing bus stop which is currently too close to a
driveway resulting in limited line of site. The project will remove the existing bus pad
and shelter, construct a new bus turnout 50 feet to the north of the existing location
on Apple Valley Road, and install a new ADA compliant concrete sidewalk. The
proposed improvements will increase site distance for vehicles exiting the Desert
Mountain Plaza Shopping Center and allow up to three VVTA buses to access the
improved location without impacting traffic.
The proposed sidewalk component of the project will directly connect to concrete
sidewalk to be installed north of the Desert Mountain Plaza Shopping Center
driveway up to the existing bus stop location and extend to Kamana Road driveway
on the southwest. This project creates an ideal opportunity to provide pedestrian
connections to the improved bus stop location, in a much more visible and
accessible location. ADA access is a great benefit of the proposed project. With the
implementation of this project, the Town of Apple Valley anticipates a substantial
increase in ridership due to the improved pedestrian pathway to access the Apple
Valley Road transit stop.
