There is a HART route and several HART stops along Gibsonton Drive, US 41, and New East Bay Road. All of the bus stops on Gibsonton Drive and New East Bay Road appear to have access to sidewalks but have limited access to safe roadway crossing. Most bus stops on US 41 have access to sidewalks, except for a few that have no access to sidewalks or have access to sidewalks in poor conditions. Some examples are described below and can be seen in Figure 35. The bus stop on the eastern side of US 41, near the intersection of US 41 and Gibsonton Drive, does not currently have access to a sidewalk. The sidewalks being constructed (see Figure 31) will provide transit users safe access to the sidewalks and nearby crosswalks. In addition to sidewalks, other amenities that can improve the experience of transit users at this stop include a shelter or shade trees, and a landing area that is accessible and traversable by persons with disabilities. The bus stop on the western side of US 41, near the intersection of US 41 and Gibsonton Drive, has access to a sidewalk that is in need of repair. Transit users at this stop would also benefit from a shelter or shade trees, and an improved landing area. The bus stop on the western side of US 41, near the intersection of US 41 and Symmes Road, does not have direct access to the nearby sidewalk and does not have seating. Filling gaps in the sidewalk network and repairing damaged sidewalks will connect transit users to surrounding neighborhoods and areas of activity and improve safety and accessibility for transit users walking or biking to transit stops.
