An implementation action item from the 5th Avenue Study adopted by the City Council on December 1, 2010, the City is conducting the Naperville Metra Station Bus Depot and Commuter Access Feasibility Study to evaluate the potential for a bus depot near the Naperville Metra Station. A bus depot would help consolidate passenger pick-up/drop-off activity, minimize bus queues on local streets and reduce bus conflicts with pedestrian and kiss-and-ride activity.
