Nevertheless, rapid transit stations, including Beverly/Edgewater Park Light Rail Sta on the Riverline Light Rail, are not very far away from the majority of houses in the community. There are no bus lines traversing the community. The bicycle is a sometimes poor method of transportation in this area because there are a fair number of hills, and there are few bike lanes.
