North expansion — Bethlehem Square / US 22

Worth it here

None

Maybe later here

• Secure bike lockers or bike hub, and bike-share docks: Lockers only if the extension is built as a terminus or park-and-ride; bike share needs a measured walkshed and an operator.
• Park-and-ride: Network edge near US 22, but only if the extension is built, sharing retail lots by agreement, after measuring the walkshed.
• Drop-off and paratransit loading zone: A terminus would justify an accessible loading zone, but only if built; use existing retail curb space by agreement.
• Terminal bus charger (overhead pantograph): If extended, BSQ becomes the northern terminus; re-run the energy model and pick one northern charger site, here or NBETH.
• Solar panels on the station canopy: A shared retail lot isn't project land, so only if an account can take the credits (to confirm). No large carport here.
• Battery energy storage: Only if the northern terminal charger is built here and demand charges (still to be pulled) make peak trimming pay.
• Equipment-lending lockers or package lockers: Package lockers could suit a terminus or park-and-ride if a vendor installs them free (to confirm); no venue for lending lockers.
• Driver restroom and break room: If extended, this becomes the northern terminus and relief is needed from day one; use an existing building by agreement.

Not worth it here

• Heated, enclosed waiting room: No station exists yet, and at 112.4 m it isn't exposed; a wind-screened shelter suits a 10-minute terminus.
• Public restrooms: No station and no measured walkshed yet; check what nearby retail already offers (to confirm) before ever building.
• Staffed customer service: Not the main hub, with no measured trips or intercity links.
• Food or coffee kiosk (partner-run): Already a retail destination, so a kiosk would compete with existing shops; the walkshed isn't measured either.
• Small shop space: New retail would duplicate the shops already next door.
• Community lounge or study nook: A park-and-ride or terminus stop with no host partner.
• Water bottle filler: No known water service, trail, events or long waits here.
• Event queuing and bus staging space: No venue of about 5,000 seats or major festival is identified nearby.
• Elevators (in pairs), only at level changes: Any future stop would be curbside or lot-side with no level change.
• Ground-source heat pumps (enclosed spaces only): No enclosed space is planned.
• Public art and heritage or geology display: No documented heritage or geology tied to this stop in the project files.
• Snow-melt at the platform edge: At 112.4 m it's a valley-level stop, far below the ~200 m test; rely on snow clearing.
• Regional and intercity bus bays: No regional or intercity carrier stop or commitment is recorded here.
• Rail-ready space reservation: Not on the rail-ready corridor list (PNR, WIND, POLK, FARR).
• Hospital and 24/7 shift-worker features: No 24/7 employer of 2,000+ within 400 m; St. Luke's Anderson Campus is about a 7.5 km walk and not served.
• Energy display with real solar and charging data: No solar or charger meters exist here.
• Public Wi-Fi and phone charging: No enclosed waiting room is planned.
