SUBJECT: Consider Transportation and Streets Committee Recommendation to decline to
install bus shelters.
SUMMARY
The City Transportation and Streets Committee met on December 22, 1997. The Committee was
previously directed to review the placement of bus shelters at certain stops. Possible sites were
discussed in detail, including southbound on Princeton near Campus Park, north bound on Spring
near Roberts, and westbound on High Street between Magnolia and Bard.
Among the bus shelter issues discussed were: initial cost, maintenance, vandalism, general ridership,
activity at certain stops, accessibility, and sidewalk clearance or right of way acquisition. Discussion
also included minor deviations to accommodate customers during days of inclement weather. These
may include stopping at sheltered spots near the regular stops. Places like this are currently used by
riders when the weather is bad. Staff suggested seeing how the new bus handles these types of stops,
and waiting for ridership numbers to increase to the point where the installation of bus shelters at the
busier stops may be more advantageous. The Committee concluded that it was not the best use of
TDA funds to consider the installation of bus shelters at this time.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommendation: Accept the recommendation of the City Transportation and Streets
Committee not to install bus shelters at this time.
