Community Transit has had a strong commitment to Marysville, with 11 bus routes serving the city and three park & rides in the area. The Marysville Ash Avenue Park & Ride was the last to open in 2003.
With ever-increasing demand for service, Community Transit now is developing a park & ride at Cedar Avenue and Grove Street. The facility will have about 200 parking spaces and boarding platforms for three buses. It will primarily serve commuters, but will be just one block from local bus connections.
Located on existing commuter bus routes and close to many businesses, the new facility will make it easy for area residents to ride the bus to it or to use it as an alternative to the busy park & ride lots at Ash Avenue north and south of Fourth Street. Its central location will make it easy to get to businesses along State Avenue or to take the bus to reach other locations.
Community Transit is working with the city of Marysville on plans for the facility; the agency hopes to begin construction next spring and finish the park & ride before the end of 2009. Current routes expected to serve the lot are:
