Sixth Street Construction

Topeka Metro is dedicated to providing safe and efficient service to our customers while looking out for the care and welfare of our operators and other employees!

 A.    Construction on 6^th street, east bound buses:  Topeka Metro buses coming down 6th street heading east will stop at all appropriate locations picking up passengers and delivering them to their destination.   Construction is on the “north” side of 6th street and it is felt that picking up passengers on the south side of the street would be a safe practice. 

 B.    Construction on 6^th street, west bound buses:  Topeka Metro buses will pick up passengers at the cut out area between Jewel and College.  We are working with the City to identify additional cut out areas so our passengers do not have to walk so far to catch a bus. If additional cut outs are identified, we will pass that information on to you.     

   C.    Construction in general:  In coned areas with active construction Topeka Metro will not pick up without a cut out.  Topeka Metro will pick up in “coned” areas without active construction, if it appears safe to do so.    

UPDATE * CONSTRUCTION ZONE – 6th Street from Washburn to Randolph

Metro riders cannot be picked up on the Westbound (North) side of 6th Street between Washburn and Randolph due to construction  in this area EXCEPT for a temporary bus stop that has been set up on the north side of 6th Street between College and Jewell (for the Outbound West 6th ONLY). Passengers will need to use this temporary bus stop OR the stops at 6th and Lane OR 6th and Oakley. This will affect the Purple routes: #5 West 6th and #7 Huntoon. Passengers on the Eastbound (South) side of 6th Street will continue to be picked up at any corner.

BUS SHELTER at 17th & TOPEKA

The bus shelter at 17th and Topeka Blvd. has been temporarily removed while street repairs are being made.  A temporary bus bench will be placed at this location until the shelter can be replaced.

BABY STROLLERS
