Connect Transit – Downtown Bloomington Transit Center
Bloomington, IL
AltusWorks managed the Section 106 review process for Connect Transit’s Downtown Bloomington Transit Center project, intended to deliver a modern bus transfer facility to improve service, accessibility, and comfort for riders. The project is located in the heart of Bloomington’s historic downtown, near the National Register-listed Bloomington Central Business District, which encompasses over 100 buildings dating back to 1842. AltusWorks’ architectural historians conducted extensive archival research and multiple field surveys to develop a comprehensive catalog of historic buildings and assessed potential adverse effects related to the planned construction. Throughout the process, AltusWorks coordinated closely with federal and local agencies to address historic preservation concerns and ensure regulatory compliance.
