Redondo Beach Will Soon Have a New Transit Center

The Redondo Beach City Council recently approved initial design plans and construction schedules for a new transit center. Called the South Bay Regional Intermodal Transit Center, this 3,000-square-foot transportation hub would include a large parking lot, drop-off zone, restrooms, sheriff’s office, drivers’ lounge, ticket office, and 15 bus bays, which would allow these large vehicles to easily enter and exit the center. 

It will also enjoy a prime location along Kingsdale Avenue near the South Bay Galleria and two-story Target. This location is ideal for two reasons. First, it’s located near a vast amount of shoppers, diners and movie watchers who can all benefit from the additional public transportation. Second, this new facility would border the old Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. This railway has the potential to become a light rail in the near future, allowing residents from Redondo and its surrounding cities to travel seamlessly throughout the Los Angeles region.

If all goes well, the South Bay Regional Intermodal Transit Center could break ground in early 2010.
