Summary
Simi Valley is replacing its interim transit stop on Tapo Canyon Road with a permanent transit center at Tapo Canyon and Avenida Simi, featuring eight bus bays, a solar canopy and electric bus chargers. It moves buses out of the bike lane and should improve safety, but neighbors worry about traffic near the library and tree losses.

Impact analysis
Fully funded by state and local grants — no hit to local taxpayers — but a $7 million state grant must be spent by June 30, 2027.
Bus riders get safer, weather-protected boarding with charging for electric buses; cyclists get the bike lane back.
Nearby residents lose 14 protected sycamores and the historic orange grove, and face bus traffic near the library and neighborhood.
