East Liberty Station Development
Strategy - 2011
The 2011 plan by Urban Design Associates
proposes reconstructing the busway
station and integrating it into the
development of Eastside III & IV through a
pair of pedestrian bridges and a multimodal
parking facility. The station remains in
its current location, but is reconstructed
as a partially enclosed transit hall. The
Eastside development includes a mix of
residential, office and retail uses with a
major pedestrian connection to Penn and
Centre intersection which is fronted by
retail spaces. The design accommodates
a bus layover space on the lower level of
the garage, which has since been deemed
unnecessary for operations.
