WAKE FOREST PUBLIC TRANSIT PLAN
ROUTE ALIGNMENT AND ZONE CIRCULATORS The project team recommends operating the East Loop in the clockwise direction and the West Loop counterclockwise. There are fewer infrastructure improvements needed to install bus stops when travelling in the clockwise direction in the East Loop and counterclockwise operation in the West Loop avoids challenging left-turn movements. The East and West loops would provide access to several destinations. Key destinations include: East Loop • Downtown Wake Forest Historic District • Flaherty Park and Community Center* • Joyner Park and Community Center* • Kiwanis Park • Retail and restaurants at E Roosevelt Avenue and Brooks Street • Shopping Center at Gateway Commons Circle and Dr Calvin Jones Highway • Envision Science Academy* • United States Postal Service at S White Street and E Holding Avenue • Wake Forest Community Library • Wake Forest Historical Museum • Wake Forest Reservoir* • Wake Forest Sprayground • Wake Forest Crossing Shopping Center • Wake Forest High School
West Loop •
Downtown Wake Forest Historic District Forest Pines Elementary School Shopping Center at Dr Calvin Jones Highway and Ligon Mill Road*
Shops and Restaurants at S Main Street and Carter Street

* new destinations that the WFL does not serve currently The new circulators will provide access to six additional key destinations compared to the WFL. Existing bus stops will serve the locations that are currently served by the WFL, however, new stops will be needed for the new destinations. The project team identified the need for 15 new potential bus stops. Before the new circulators are implemented, bus stops will need to be installed to serve these destinations, and evaluation of sidewalks, bus pads, and safe crossings is needed to determine final stop locations.
