Project of Distinction – Havasu, AZ
SIERRA SERIES TRANSIT SHELTERS
LOCATION
Lake Havasu is in western Arizona close to the Arizona-California border. It’s known for being the base for trails in the nearby desert and water sports on Lake Havasu. A popular attraction of the Colorado River, is the London Bridge, which was relocated from England in 1968 by a wealthy American. This area of Lake Havasu sees over 1 million visitors every year and is supported by Lake Havasu City Transit to help people move. Uniquely, the city’s transit system states it is not mass transit but rather a custom designed public transit system to fit the transit needs of Lake Havasu City. To that end, they partnerd with Tolar Manufacturing to create bus shelters that fit the customized characteristics of their small but bustling tourist town.
PROJECT SCOPE
Our Sierra Series transit shelters are a client favorite with their classic look and purpose-driven design perfect for transit corridors, pedestrian-friendly downtowns, and busy transportation hubs like that found near the London Bridge in Lake Havasu, Arizona.
Located at the, Bridge Transit Hub, these 17-foot Sierra wide roof dome bus shelters feature a rear screen wall placed in the center midpoint of the shelter to allow for seating on both sides of the shelter depending on the positioning of the piercing Arizona sun.
UL-listed solar powered dusk-to-dawn LED illumination light up waiting passengers for their security and easy bus operator identification. Each shelter includes an 8-foot perforated metal bench with 3 seat delineators.
