Cypress & Division Bus Stop Plaza

Just one block from the Sotomayor Learning Complex is a vacant lot at the southwest corner of Cypress and Division. Its adjacent sidewalk is often filled with students waiting for the bus. The trash bins are often overflowing and there is nowhere to sit.

This project proposes a repurposing of the underutilized site into a bus stop plaza featuring covered benches, native landscaping, and recycling bins. The next step is to explore the willingness of the property owner to lease or sell the lot.
