A perspective from Oregon’s mid-Willamette Valley

Bus station or bike lane? It’s both

Written May 3rd, 2025 by Hasso Hering

A bike ride last week brought me to what has to be the busiest bus stop of the Albany Transit System. And as you can see, buses stopping there take up pretty much the entire bike lane on that side of the street.


Bus stops? What’s in store

Written November 30th, 2017 by Hasso Hering

The public transit bus shelter is still there, but buses are gone from Broadalbin Street because of the downtown Albany streetscape project. And replacing the downtown stop with two others will eventually remove some on-street parking from Ellsworth and Lyon Streets.
