Engineers outlined the pros and cons of three proposed sites for a bus transfer center in downtown Bloomington on Wednesday.
The Connect Transit Board of Trustees held a special meeting to review the sites which the agency identified in January following a study done by the Bloomington-based Farnsworth Group.
Connect Transit plans to build the $18 million center site to serve 10 daily bus routes and 1,800 daily boardings.
Chad Frankenberger, senior project manager for Farnsworth Group, called the former Pantagraph building a “wonderfully iconic building,” noting it’s the largest property of the three proposed sites, covering two city blocks.
