Local Contractors will have the opportunity to bid on the new Bus Transfer Facility planned for Tinloy Street in Grass Valley.  Nevada County Public Works Director, Doug Farrell says the $900 thousand station will be a vast improvement for bus riders compared to the current transfer site at Church and Neal Streets. There will be turnout for the buses and a shelter from the weather for people waiting to transfer buses. He says it will look like a strip park
 
Farrell says design is complete and the project is ready to go to bid and should be in the scope for many local contractors to handle. “The bidding process and the contracts for work process take a couple of months.” Construction could start in October and Farrell says they can work through the winter and the transfer facility should be completed some time next spring or summer.

The new Gold Country Stage Transfer Facility is being paid for in large part with Federal Transit money that was received by the county several years ago for this project.
