The 82nd Avenue Transit Project will bring better bus service to 82nd Avenue between Clackamas Town Center and the Cully neighborhood, upgrading Line 72 to FX-Frequent Express.

The project’s current design includes adjustments to station platform designs, refined Business Access and Transit (BAT) lane proposals, safety treatments and other improvements.

 

Project Design Features

The project will speed up trips for bus riders on 82nd Avenue by up to 20%.

  • Consolidation of existing stops to create higher-quality stations near improved pedestrian crossings with shelters, lighting, real-time bus arrival information and curb ramps.
  • Business Access and Transit lanes (BAT lanes) on 82nd Avenue in the City of Portland, except at the intersection of Powell and 82nd.
  • Transit Signal Priority (TSP), where buses and signals communicate to prioritize faster trips for people riding the bus.
  • Higher curbs and longer buses with all-door boarding to make boarding easier and faster.
  • New and improved crossings to increase safety and access to transit.
  • A turnaround for buses at the Cully Triangle that supports the development of high density affordable housing.
