property and to immediately apply for State Transit Improvement Program (STIP)
funds in the amount of approximately $2.5 million for use initial phase of the
project. MST’s proposal to phase the development will continue to reflect
consensus that MST should develop a mixed-use project on the current
site, with a on-street design with bus only lanes that maximizes retail and
residential opportunities and bus operational safety. Long-term plans will
continue to focus moving some portion of the bus transfer operations to the
future intermodal transportation center along the TAMC right of way near Del
