In 2020, GO Transit completed a feasibility study to identify the short-term and long-term needs of the downtown transit center. The study identified the need to renovate the current site to improve ADA access, safety and security and add space for a driver breakroom as immediate needs. The study identified the longer term need to add a second platform and public restrooms and climate-controlled waiting area when funding allows. Site Plan The Oshkosh Downtown Transit Center Redevelopment Phase II project will construct a boarding platform and anew passenger facility adjacent to the current transit center (110 Pearl Avenue). The scope of work involves the construction of a second adjacent bus platform with space for at least six more buses, as well as construction of a one-story 1,515 sq. ft. facility for passenger restrooms, climate-controlled seating and information area, and vending machines. The project will require acquisition and demolition of the neighboring privately-owned one-story office building at 222 Pearl Avenue (subject site). The project is intended to enhance transit system capacity, comfort, and safety, as well as provide needed indoor facilities for passengers and drivers in cold weather.
