• MEMORANDUM DATE : February 17 , 1982 TO: Dave Childs , City Manager FROM: Larry Hamer , Public Works Director SUBJECT: Bus Shelters --------------------------------------------------------------------- The City has two bus shelters , located at 37th and Silver Lake Road and Silver Lake Road, south of Silver Lane . We have requested two additional locations and these have been investigated by the M.T. C. One location request was north of the liquor store on St . Anthony Boulevard and the other was 29th Avenue and Silver Lake Road. The 29th Avenue location, according to M.T.C. , meets their criteria for "ride-ability" . However, the St. Anthony Boulevard location does not. When the requested location does not meet the M.T.C. standards , the City must share in the construction costs , etc . • Apparently , requests for bus shelters do not have to be made by the City - the shelter at 39th and Silver Lake Road was not. The shelters must be approved by the City and County , however , if they are on a County road, because the City is required to sign a cleaning/main- tenance agreement for the structure. There have been no other requests for shelters other than the two mentioned above . It is the City ' s option whether they want to share the cost for the shelters . At this time , the City has no specific policy regarding this . RECOMMENDATIONS I recommend the following : (1) All bus shelter requests be submitted to the City . (2) Evaluation of requests be done by the City prior to forwarding them to the M.T. C. The City ' s responsibility is to contact property owners who would be affected by construction of the structure. The M. T. C. would then be able to evaluate the site for its "ride-ability" . (3) With the agreement of the M. T. C. and the property owners abutting the proposed site , construction of the shelters should • be acted upon. LH/cjk.
