Purpose: Bridge Street Town Centre Intermodal Transportation Facility
Grant No.: AL-04-0013-01 ($1,190,000)
Released: April 7, 2008
The City of Huntsville, Department of Parking and Public Transit received a grant in the amount of $1,190,000 to incorporate an intermodal transportation facility into a mixed-use complex called the Bridge Street Town Centre. The project was designed as the “Downtown” of Huntsville’s Cummings Research Park, the fourth-largest research park in the world.
The design of the center integrates public transportation with approximately 2 million square feet of modern development.
The transportation facility, completed in January 2008, includes a two-level structure, a municipal bus transfer station, and a park-and-ride center with capacity for up to 1,500 cars, bicycle storage, and lockers. An elevator and escalator will provide access to both floors of the two-level structure. Way-finding signage and ADA-compliant graphics will be placed throughout the facility.
The estimated cost of the Intermodal Transportation Facility is approximately $9,045,665. The funds announced today are part of FTA’s capital investment program that provides financial assistance for transit agencies to purchase new vehicles and construct new facilities.
